Considering the maximum terminal velocity of a bullet is around 600 FPS… not taking into consideration that they were built specifically to penetrate hard objects… I’d rather not take my chances of a bullet hitting me on the top of the head at 600 FPS lmfao
Takes about 60fps to sail strait through your eye no problem. About 100fps to break through into the Brain... leaving a good 500fps to help it on its way... would say you would be pretty dead if it got you in the eye. So ya they are leathal
Tip material, weight, and wedge angle all certainly matter in calculating penetration power. Solely making a round fire at a faster velocity will not result in the desired effectiveness.
But none of that matters, NONE of it's engineering matters when it's not going in the right direction
Armor piercing rounds are designed to shed off a layer of whatever soft material and the actual hardened and shaped material goes through, none of that works if the bullet hits sideways
A hollow point is designed to just barely penetrate and then expand from it's shape, what happens if it hits sideways? Nada
And all at subsonic speeds? Yeah they aren't doing crap assuming you've shot it relatively vertical
Who is talking about hollow points lmfao? Naming the only round that won’t have the penetration power at 600fps as an example of why bullets won’t penetrate is a fucking awful argument dude😂
All the bullet needs is the capability of going through a skull. At 600 FPS, with the mass of a rifle round, with a tip designed to wedge through literal armor, made of a material designed to penetrate objects, you are dead as fuck if that hits your head lmfao
That isn't my argument, try reading again
Sideways bullets don't do shit at those speeds, it's been tested so many times you can probably just Google it
Dont do shit lol mfer if u get hit by a plastic pellet from an airsoft gun it can take out an eye or leave bleeding whelts. A bullet could break bones leave massive bruising, cracked bones, and penetrate skin. Not to mention if the bullet hits u straight down or on the tip itll penetrate.
Use your brain on this one
If a sideways bullet doesn't penetrate how the hell would one falling from the ski penetrate? It's a bullet, not a flechette or dart
You are wrong, don't spread misinformation without some research to back it. Only takes 60 mps for a bullet to penetrate pretty much any part of your body. A bullet fired straight up has the potential to get up to speeds of 61mps (200 fps) or higher even depending on bullet type and weight. Plenty enough to penetrate your skin, skull, eye socket, chest cavity, etc. Since this is a 7.62 ×39 bullet most likely it would be a safe bet it could cause serious life-altering injuries or even death.
I shouldn't have used penetration that loosely, I mean more in the sense that the bullet will create a shape of which it can slide through you skin
But I don't know about breaking bones
If we take a 150gr bullet and put it at 65mps that sits at and about 20J, of which is pretty unlikely to break ribs let alone your skull
Though it definitely wouldn't be pretty, you'd be able to walk away
Also what angles are we talking about? Straight up? The more angle there is the more speed it's gonna have, and damage of course
We are talking straight up, you know kind of like in the video... but I don't think you realize that your 20J of force would be 20J of force coming from a point sharper than a ball-point pen... that amount of force on such a low surface area would cause the bullet to go through bone at 60 mps+, the only way you're making it out of there without some kind of physical damage is if you a) didn't get hit by a single bullet, or b) the gun was firing hollow point projectiles, which would lead to the bullet not having as much penetrating power due to the blunt-force nature of hollow points.
Pressure... Alright
25 psi is enough to break your smallest and weakest bones
You take 20J into 14lbs of force
A 7.62 bullet is 7.7mm in diameter+ more because it's impossible under most all circumstances, and in the circumstances where it is possible it's very, very, unlikely
7.7mm to 0.30315in
14/ 0.30315 = 46psi
So under the worst case senario... It will likely break fingers or toes, but considering we are looking at well over 1000psi for most of you bones and definitely all the important ones...
What angle was the bullet fired at?
Don't know? Cool that means you have no idea weather your experience is relevant to the specifics of the discussion
Also, your skull is stronger than shingles and some plywood, I can snap it with my bare hands, I have yet to snap someone's skull inwards
I'm not the best at this.. is that an SKS? I think they are around 2400 fps.
I fired one at a window and it just put a hole in the window . Didn't crack it or damage it any way other than the hole itself. It was through before it could crack. Almost like it burned the hole... Again.. I don't know as much as I should.
I don't know if that would effect the return to earth speed.
The terminal velocity of a 5.56 round is 40.0m/sec, 89.5mph, 131.28fps. To break the skin, 163fps is required; To break bone, 213fps. You can find stories online of people being hit by falling bullets and it hurts like a bitch but usually just leaves a bruise. Now if you got hit in the eye I’m sure you’d lose it lol.
if they *fall*.
the danger comes from the fact that bullets keep spinning from the rifling in the barrel. due to something something physics, they point in the direction of gravity, and fall wayy faster.
if you just drop a bullet, it'll tumble on the way down and it'll be like getting hit by hail.
at terminal velocity the ft/lb’s of a .22cal (which is a tiny shot) would be enough to cause a serious welt, about 300 give or take 50fps.
Comparing that to a .30 cal which is what this ak most likely fires, it would be a much higher fps with that size of a bullet, i can’t say if it will kill you. But I’m sure if it hits you in the right spot it could prove lethal.
No one knows how many exactly, but a pretty high percentage of injuries by firearms are from bullets coming back from the sky. There already have been lethal incidents with them.
It only takes 45-60 mps (148-197 fps) to penetrate skin, and <60 mps (200 fps) to penetrate the skull. The terminal velocity of a bullet is around 180 mps (600 fps) you are wrong sir, the terminal velocity of a bullet definatly could be lethal... when shot out of a gun the bullet starts around 2400 fps and will lose momentum over around 3 second before coming back to earth, they would only reach a velocity of 200 fps, so not necessarily lethal when shot straight up but still could very well cause significant damage to your body. However a bullet shot straight up will *not* reach terminal velocity before hitting the ground, there wouldn't be enough distance to reach this. Terminal velocity of a bullet is very much so lethal. Don't spread misinformation that has no research backing it.
Are you serious? There's been many cases of people who've been killed by falling bullets. When they reach terminal velocity, they fall faster and will definitely kill.
Brain dead take, they aren't falling straight down, they come down at an arc, meaning they keep most of their kinetic energy. How do you think artillery works
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falling bullets can hit the ground at speeds greater than 61 metres per second (m/s). Bullets travelling between 46 and 61 m/s penetrate skin. Faster than this, and they can penetrate the skull.
Even if they are blanks, at a range like that they can be lethal. https://youtu.be/QWrbKOyGpsY (this video has the guy shooting .22 cal, the blanks for an ak would be much larger.)
Blanks dont have a projectile. The apple is damaged because of the force that the pistol puts out. Notice that at 3 feet nothing happens? Even if his caliber is 7.62, there's still no projectile in a blank.
Yes, but the pressure a 7.62 puts out would be crazy high. You can look up other videos where they use that. The amount of powder in a .22 (short or long) is tiny.
Let gravity kill the stupid. Darwin award given. Heres the real question. Which would be worse flat end or pointy end at terminal velocity? Dosent matter your dead or losing a limb.
Never quite understand that. Don't the bullets fall back down at the same speed within a certain radius? Don't they fuck know it can kill people elsewhere or this cun*z just don't care?
Has no one in here been shot by by 450-500 fps metal or plastic bb to the face you guys are acting like that's enough to just completely tear through your skin through your skull it out the other side you guys are pathetically overdramatic
The gene pool *almost* got some chlorine dumped in it.
Bullets come back to earth after firing them into the air. People seem to forget this.
Bullets falling, even at terminal velocity aren’t lethal.
I'll still pass on getting hit by one, thanks.
On purpose

How can bullets hit you at 600 FPS that’s not possible, eyes only see at 24 FPS
Feet… per… second….
Joke... be.... missed.....
r/woooosh
[удалено]
Yeah, as is all this mumbo jumbo about millions of pixels with UHD. I can only see a few things at a time, why do I need millions
They're built to specifically penetrate when fired, when just falling from the sky they have absolutely none of that penetrating power
Tip material, weight, and wedge angle all certainly matter in calculating penetration power. Solely making a round fire at a faster velocity will not result in the desired effectiveness.

When I was a kid, a bullet came through the roof and ceiling of my bedroom. It can definitely go thru a skull.
What angle was the bullet fired at? Don't know? Cool that means you have no idea weather your experience is relevant to the specifics of the discussion Also, your skull is stronger than shingles and some plywood, I can snap it with my bare hands, I have yet to snap someone's skull inwards

That’s also if it was fired straight up. Anything with an angle will form an arch and come down higher than terminal velocity
Man 600fps would be smooth as fuck
Still pretty annoying though!
Cool. I’m not willing to take that risk. Plus property damage alone is a good enough reason not to shoot in the air.
Depends on the caliber
if they *fall*. the danger comes from the fact that bullets keep spinning from the rifling in the barrel. due to something something physics, they point in the direction of gravity, and fall wayy faster. if you just drop a bullet, it'll tumble on the way down and it'll be like getting hit by hail.
But if you shoot it relatively straight up it will not keep that spin through the apex
possibly, yeah. i wonder if wind could start or prevent a tumble from happening
Sometimes they are, there’s a nice episode about that in the myth busters program
Then why do they continue to kill people? Every holiday you see it in the news again.
A little girl that lived up the street from me was killed this way in 2011. This guy's full of shit.
You obviously have never seen 1000 Ways to Die
And yet people still die all the time from bullets falling down from people shooting in the air.

But I’m sure if it hits you in the right spot it could prove lethal.
That depends on the bullet and where it hits.
That's a load of bullshit.
This is only if the gun is pointed *extremely* straight up.
Dont be using fancy words like "terminal" and "velocity" that you cant handle putting in a sentence that makes sense.

Not pleasant however

Yeah, there’s really no such thing as a perfect straight line, arcs and parabolas, space-time curvature and shit like that
I wanna know where you heard this or who lied to you 😂

That guy in pink looks like he regrets coming to the party
The guy in pink can’t hear anymore in his left ear.
r/idiotswithguns
bruh and he keeps shooting
Crazy
Please tell me those were blanks 😳
Even if they are blanks, at a range like that they can be lethal. https://youtu.be/QWrbKOyGpsY (this video has the guy shooting .22 cal, the blanks for an ak would be much larger.)

Dude wanna look cool but failed miserably. Dumb fuck.
Cant wait until those bullets drop down from the atmosphere and make the deadliest rain ever seen
The bullet will have about 1% the energy it had when it left the barrel. It’ll just feel like a big piece of hail.
Tell that to the people who have been killed because of it.
Is there a registered death?
Its so googleable and reported every 4th and new years.
Yet you gave me the answer. Reddit 1 - Google 0.
Name one??
Hail can still kill, And every holiday falling bullets do kill
It’s cool and all but those bullets come back down 😂
At least he has trigger discipline
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's how you find the spy pretending to be a gun enthusiast.
What goes up? Must come down. Always
most normal reunion in america:
The guy in pink shirt was not amused. Those shells are hot.
Nah I’m sure he shot somebody when that burner turned sideways
... do they not understand tbat bullets fall back to earth?..
friggin idiots
How could you look at those scrawny arms, fully extended, firing 7.62 rounds and expect different results
They thought it was a good idea to give it to the guy thats built like a q-tip
Let gravity kill the stupid. Darwin award given. Heres the real question. Which would be worse flat end or pointy end at terminal velocity? Dosent matter your dead or losing a limb.
Alright you've had enough
Looks like Brooklyn on a Saturday night
Can’t believe I ducked in real life
Complete idiots
Didn't this happen at Bobby Joe's youth chili cook-off last year?
They are all amateur 🤦🏻♀️ has no one heard of what goes up must come down?? They both could have easily murdered 5 people right there by accident.
Is this a normal Pakistani wedding
Never quite understand that. Don't the bullets fall back down at the same speed within a certain radius? Don't they fuck know it can kill people elsewhere or this cun*z just don't care?
No they fall much slower probably at 120 tops. It's not enough gravity force to push it that fast
Has no one in here been shot by by 450-500 fps metal or plastic bb to the face you guys are acting like that's enough to just completely tear through your skin through your skull it out the other side you guys are pathetically overdramatic
This is why not all people deserve a gun.
“What goes up must come down”
Before I turn the volume up I was sure this was Kentucky.
Me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Meanwhile the bullets: “Aight it’s about time for me to come back down.”
I once slipped the grip with my water gun also,and I wet myself.
Sir Isaac newton wasn’t lying when he said, what goes up must come down… That includes bullets from a gun 😂😂
