The bullets will return to the earth at the same velocity at which they left the gun. If loose change dropped from the Empire State Building can kill people, then bullets fired into the air certainly can.

No, that's not correct. A bullet coming down would not be going as fast as when it is expelled from the weapon. The only factor working on the bullet at the point of descent is gravity, and everything falling from the force of gravity reaches a terminal velocity.

Going up the the force acting on the bullet is the explosion in the weapon propelling the bullet. Coming down, all the energy of that initial blast has dissipated, otherwise the bullet would still be traveling up. Thus once the bullet reaches its peak, the only force working on it is gravity, and things can only fall so fast.

Change dropped from a tall building can not kill you. A penny will only reach a certain speed until it can go no faster. It would hurt if it dropped on your head, but there is no way that it could kill you.

Terminal velocity for skydivers is somewhere areound 140mph I believe. it is impossible to go any faster than this without some other external force.

i love the ... as if you are amazed by the ignorance of sniper101, isn't it ironic, don'cha think?

loose change can kill? where did you get this information?

Myth Busters proved that theory wrong as well. SO COma = Wrong.

If you dropped a DHL van from the top of the Empire State building onto someone, the chances are it'd probably kill them.

They had gun licenses....lol...those things are effective

but due to mass, not to speed.

I have a concealed weapon permit, but it is void if alcohol is involved. You can't have unopened alcohol in you're vehicle or another person that has been drinking in the vehicle or the permit is invalid. I don't know the specifics in their states but mine would have been voided in that instance.

Mythbusters found that firing a pistol or rifle into the air did not produce leathal results; UNLESS, it was fired at an angle. Simply put firing a round dead vertical, the round goes up, is shifted by winds, but basically falls back down nearly vertical at its terminal velocity. Which isnt enough to kill.

How ever fired at an angle into the air, the bullet follows its natural ballistics trajectory and can do damage when up to its "maximum effective range" milla will know that term as well. Basically the range at which the round has lost so much speed its useless.

Also, terminal velocity is determined by, weight (mass), drag, and air density.

and the pacers are considered one of the NBA's "good" teams...[/quote:d44c3]

Since when have they been considered a good team? Since the brawl with the Pistons fans two year ago?

The whole kafuffle took the league by surprise, which have never experienced a fight escalating to this level of magnitude. Here are some quotes given by various people in response to this conflict:

"The events of the game were shocking, repulsive and inexcusable, a humiliation for everyone associated with the NBA."

- David Stern, NBA commissioner

"I felt like I was fighting for my life out there… I'm sorry the game had to end this way."

- Rick Carlisle, Indiana Pacers Head Coach

"It was the ugliest thing I ever seen in my life. I am embarrassed for our league and disappointed to be part of this and disappointed for our young people who saw that."

- Larry Brown, Detroit Piston's Head Coach

"There's no place in the game for what went on with this incident. It was just an ugly scene."

- Joe Dumars, President of Detroit Piston's Basketball Operations and future Hall of Famer

"We'll put it all together, take it to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office and have them review it and they'll decide if there are any charges… I hope we can do it before Thanksgiving."

- Jim Mynsberge, Auburn Hills deputy chief

"You can literally count every time a punch is thrown and that would constitute an assault and battery. Now, whether or not some of them are justifiable under law remains to be seen. Some players could state they were coming to the defense of, say, Artest when he entered the stands area, but this is all going to have to be straightened out and there are going to be voluminous reports from people on press row, who were there just rows in front it, player personnel, the players themselves, coaches, referees, fans, literally hundreds of reports to review."

- David Gorcycka, Oakland County prosecutor

"It was a disgraceful situation…. There were no winners whatsoever. There is no excuse for players to go into the stands. The privilege and honor that goes with being an NBA player prohibits you from ever crossing that line. It was a frightful, devastating experience and there will be major ramifications for both teams and will have an impact on the rest of this NBA season."

- Bill Walton, ESPN basketball analyst and NBA Hall of Famer

"I have never seen a fight like that in a game since I was in high school… Man, there are going to be some lawsuits. You don't think some of those fans aren't going to want some NBA money?"

- Quentin Richardson, guard for the Phoenix Suns

"Whoooo. When you see things like that, just think about what it takes for NBA players to go into a crowd. Sometimes fans get kind of out of hand, but it must have taken a lot for NBA players to go into a crowd and start a fight."

- Lamar Odom, forward for the Los Angeles Lakers

"That was unbelievable"

- Chris Chelios, Detroit Red Wings (NHL) defensemen and tough guy (who sat courtside for the game)

how far does bullet go into the air though.......empire state = 1450 ft?
