The Mythbusters proved a slug from a bullet falling from the sky will not hurt you.

I didn’t know that. I remember one where they demonstrated how far into water rifle bullets would pentetrate.... not very far by the way.

Not quite true.

They determined that a bullet fired at a true vertical angle would not be lethal, but that one not fired at true vertical can be, and found some folks who were injured by this very thing.

Put it this way...I wouldn't want to throw a nickel or a quarter as high as I could into the air and then have it land squarely on my head. That would definitely HURT!

We don't get to shoot at low-flying Cessna and Piper propeller aircraft flying above our homes. We also don't shoot at people in hot air balloons who may also be flying overhead and snapping pictures.

At the same time, people certainly DO have the right to quiet enjoyment without opening windows to see drones hovering there with a camera taking high-resolution pics and video. ;-)

Strange because the Palestinians like to celebrate by firing randomly in the air, and they lose a few dozen per year as a result.

Actually, they proved it was likely not to kill you.

Only if it is pointing exactly upwards otherwise you got a trajectory and the bullet doesn’t lose all its energy before returning to the ground.
