Shooting Bullets in the Air: The Dangerous Truth Revealed
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 07. 2023
- In this video, we'll explore the dangers of shooting in the air. Contrary to popular belief, bullets don't go to space when they're fired upwards. Instead, they reach a maximum height and then fall back to Earth. This can be dangerous, as falling bullets can still cause serious injuries or death.
We'll discuss the physics of falling bullets, as well as some real-world examples of people who have been injured or killed by falling bullets. We'll also talk about why it's important to never shoot a gun upwards, even if you think you're aiming high enough.
So if you're ever thinking about shooting a gun in the air, please think again. It's not worth the risk.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mythbusters tested this: if fired straight up the bullet tumbles which makes its terminal velocity less than lethal. However celebratory gunfire is rarely fired straight up so it retains the ballistic arc and remains deadly.
Also makes it less likely to hit someone in the head.
Not that im excusing it.
Even more testing has showed the 'fire straight up so it tumbles down' is literally impossible. Coronal forces will cause it to arc no matter what you do.
it's the other way around , watch the episode again . if fired straight up it would have enough energy when returning to kill easy . but it's almost impossible to fire directly straight up.

I was going to visit my cousin and about 10 meters from his front door I suddenly heard a loud buzzing...since I didn't know what it was at the time I assumed it was a wasp or something...I looked around and was worried I might get stung by it...I suddenly heard the buzzing louder and approached the curb and wondered what that was.. suddenly the projectile hit the ground in front of me and smashed a rock.. then I knew it must be a bullet from their gun which almost hit me could have.. if that happened no one could help me because my cousin and his family weren't home which I didn't know at the time.. 💀

They’re not aerodynamically stable once they start falling down, so the speed would not be 180km/h
That’s it’s tumbling speed dog, and that’s only if it’s shot perfectly straight up. Most bullets shot upwards will move in a parabolic arch which means they don’t tumble and retain their gyroscopic rotation which results in it hitting the ground much faster than 180km/h
True, he simplified it
Nah he said straight up!
Pew........ouch 🥲
@@PseuOG they lose their rotation after a great bit of flying, so they would still tumble, but it is true that they would still be flying faster than if you shot it straight up
Terminal velocity against gravity is about 120mph... yeah if the thing hit you and an exact 90 degree angle, sure it'll kill ya, but to say falling bullets kill more than people directly shot with them is absolutely absurd.

Mythbusters did a test to find the exact terminal velocity for various types of bullet and found out that all bullets tumbling down at non-lethal velocity. They also did test firing live rounds vertically and found bullets buried roughly 2 inches in the ground far away from where they were shot upward.
Bullets coming down at their terminal velocity won't be lethal but most people who are shooting guns into the air don't shoot straight up so the bullets won't reach zero velocity and will retain their lethality when they hit any object on the ground.

You'ld be surprised on how many ppl dont take this into account.
I like how it’s wiggling a lot causing there to be more air resistance but the speed doesn’t change
Not to be that guy, but it has nothing to do with air resistance. When the bullet reaches its apex it loses its rotation which stabilizes the bullet and once that happens the bullet spines in whatever way the air pushes it causing the bullet to yaw.
the change in drag coefficient is negligable.
It wiggles a bit, then straightens as it falls down. Air resistance is there to help limit the terminal velocity, otherwise it would go a lot faster.
I like how the AK-47 animation shows the whole bullet instead of what's actually fired.
That is what's actually fired man.

@@unknown_lazer cavite
OK, several points:
1. 2 km up is not space. Most commercial planes fly several times higher.
2. A bullet going only 180 kph is unlikely to kill someone. It would likely cause an injury, even a severe injury if it hit something important, but death would be rare.
3. Most bullets returning to earth would be going much faster than 180 kph because all those nitwits firing in the air don’t shoot exactly straight up. So the bullet goes in a sharp parabolic arc, with much less tumbling than if it goes straight up and down. So yeah, those bullets coming down would be going much faster than 180 kph and those can definitely kill.
What about burning due to air resistance?
Youve contradicted yourself here 😂😂😂😂😂😂 good effort

True, I know someone in our village who was just chilling on his roof at a random day. And suddenly out of nowhere a bullet comes rolling and pierces his leg. He didn't even realize that he was shot, until he saw blood flowing from his legs
Percentage of deaths from falling bullets is higher than direct fire!
WTF😂😂😂😂😂
its true
An individual's chance of being hit by a falling bullet is small, but if hit, the likelihood of being killed is up to five times greater, at 32 per cent, than it is from a direct gunshot. This is because injury typically occurs to the head and shoulders rather than to less critical body parts.
It looks like he just simplified the sentence.
Not true at all.
A falling bullets maximum speed is it's own terminal velocity which is significantly lower than if you take a direct powered round.
Your hypothesis is flawed my good sir.
I would take a bullet dropped from hight to the head as apposed to fired
at it.
The first will hurt but the second will spoil your experience.
Yes, it is true,
if we compare 100 cases of falling bullets with direct bullet injured, the percentage of people killed by falling bullets is higher than those killed by direct bullets. According to a study published in the journal "Injury Prevention", the mortality rate from falling bullets is about 32%, while the mortality rate from direct bullets is only 2%-6%. This is because falling bullets are more likely to hit people in the head or neck, which are areas where a bullet can be fatal. Additionally, people who are hit by falling bullets are often not expecting it, which means that they may not be able to take evasive action.
Yes this is such bad use of statistics and shows why quoting statistics is often used to mislead, cherry picking shots that hit. No one with a brain would rather be shot at directly vs stand by while someone shot into the air.
Your not reading the data correctly.
The 2 to 6 percent death rate as reported by the LA hospital does not include people who were already dead and taken directly to the morgue.
327 people are shot in the USA daily
117 are killed outright 35.8%
210 survived 64.2%
Also a lot of the info is taking about bullets shot in an arc which retain their spin and therefore are more dangerous.
Your clip is straight up and down.
This actually happened right here in my little hometown.
Man fired a few shots from a pistol at his son's wedding.
The bullet landed on a kid's head in a nearby park.

First week in military you learn to shoot in the air at 60° to the ground only.
Same goes for loading and unloading your gun.
Terminal velocity is actually alot smaller because it very rarely goes straight down, when it's on its side which is what happens basically 100% of the time the terminal velocity is alot smaller and cannot hurt someones skin. Technically the truth but very rarely does it get to that speed.
Be sure to yell "COLD GUN" before you fire your blank rounds 😅

Bullets don't speed up once they leave the muzzle. Air resistance and gravity slows it down to zero eventually.

Thing is, bullets have a lower terminal velocity when fired directly upwards, thus meaning a bullet shot straight up properly is actually a lot safer, though it is still falling lead, so one should likely watch out. Its like the myth that dropping a pen from the top of the empire state building could kill someone, worst case scenario, its gonna hit someone and its gonna hurt a bit, (or they lose an eye)
That is not how terminal velocity works. Bullets are fired faster than their terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is the maximum velocity an object in FREE FALL will reach. Terminal velocity does not change depending on the direction an object is sent, it is entirely based on mass alone. Even air resistance is supposed to be ignored when calculating true terminal velocity.

according to the law of conservation of energy. neglecting air resistance, we can that the bullet falls on ones head with an equal force as putting your head on a gun and pulling the trigger.
There’s a reason why people made a saying for this
“What comes up must come down”
Quite a few things wrong here.
1. It travels ~2600 fps. Give or take a few fps. Not km/h
2. Like someone else stated, as it falls it tumbles therefore creating more drag. So less fps while falling.
3. Iirc, mythbusters did a segment about shooting into the air to see how deadly it is. Now idk how tough a dried lakebed is in cali (I think this is where they shot the episode) but it went less than an inch into the ground.
4. I kinda agree it could cause minor to major bodily harm depending where it lands. Your arm vs. Your eye.
5. Id love to see an ak47 shoot 2km. Effective range on same plane as the horizon is roughly 400 yards/ meters. Im sure 700 yards/meters it may still be lethal. But 2km? Especially if your shooting into the air. Fighting gravity head on??? Yea can you do a live fire test? Instead of this animation.
You have really asked pretty interesting questions thanks !!!😊
5. The definition of effective range is: The maximum distance at which a weapon may be expected to be accurate and achieve the desired effect.
It doesn't mean that the bullet just stops existing after 400 meters and it is still absolutely deadly past that range. What it means is, that you're unlikely to hit your target past that range.
Shot vertically a bullet can reach the altitude of 2 km without a problem, unless you hit a bird on the way lol
It was a salt basin iirc. Even less than an inch would be painful, but it would hurt far more if it hit an area close to bone since skin and muscle are more elastic.
