They’re claiming they “busted” the myth that wood splinters were the main cause of casualties on wooden fighting ships was a joke.

The one where they claimed that falling bullets won’t kill was stupid since there have been published cases where a falling bullet has killed. I’m surprised they even aired that one.

Yeah that was totally stupid. Bullets shot in the air are not shot at an absolute 180 degree angle to the ground and at any angle they retain horizontal velocity.
