Physics is physics. A bullet of the caliber normally discharged into the air is incapable of being lethal due to terminal velocity. Now if that same bullet travels in an arc (which all bullets do if fired NOT straight up) it is very capable of serious damage.

In the case of the .45-70 there are documented cases of lethal shots at well over a mile. In Afcrapistan some Canadian snipers wacked a guy at at 1375 Meters. Fire those weapons straight up and they could do some damage due to the weight of the bullet. But a 38 caliber or a 9mm have very little force when acted upon by gravity.

BTW the penny off the Empire State building killing someone is also not true.

Sorry mad_as_he$$ but you don’t know what you are talking about. A grain of sand can be “lethal” if it hits the right person in the right place.
