Gun memes

Pardon the ignorance, but isn't this a real thing though? I've never really heard new years gunshots here, but I thought the myth busters said something about only 90 degree vertical ones not being lethal.

>>32494925
Not sure if bait or just really fucking stupid..?

>>32494946
If you shoot a rifle round at a 45 angle, it could come down still stabilized with enough power to kill, but it is like 1 in a million.

Shooting anything straight up has 0% chance of killing anything. Might hurt, but it won't kill you.

There are still people who say a penny off the Empire State building will kill you, too. KEK

>>32494946
Look dumbass, when you shoot into the sky, the bullet escapes earth's orbit and no one gets hurt, period.

>>32494925
>Shooting bullets into the air

All bullets go into the air. The question is the trajectory.

The real question is if you want to celebrate the new years the same way Arabs do?

>>32494974
>when you shoot into the sky, the bullet escapes earth's orbit

>>32494925
Nope, still lethal if they hit something vital. Well, depending on angle fired and wind and junk. Now, the chance of you getting hit by one on the street of a city is pretty narrow because tall buildings and angles and whatnot.

Didn't Mythbusters test this one and find that a falling bullet was practically harmless?

This is STRIGHT into the air mind you.

>>32494999
>STRIGHT

>>32494972
Well yea but what if it hits other's property? I assume it'll still damage it

>>32494925
You can tell this left-wing propaganda is soley targeted toward the appeal to lefties. If they actually cared, they would title it 'Reminder: Don't Act Like a Damn A-rab on New Year's Eve' to try and get to the source of their perceived problem.

>>32494925
>reckless discharge of a firearm

>>32494946
>>32494999
Mythbusters only proved that a bullet dropped from a height wasn't dangerous. IIRC, they didn't discharge a single firearm on that episode.

>>32495048
They did. Even found the bullets after they came down (only the 9mm though). When fired vertically, bullets lose their spin stability and keyhole, at a very reduced terminal velocity. When shot at angles other than vertical, the bullets can maintain their stability and have a much higher velocity when coming down. There are recorded cases of bullets fired into the air killing people, including a case where ballistics matched to the shooter who was arrested for manslaughter and reckless discharge of a firearm.

>>32494925
But you're wrong.

LOL lrn2physics. Gravitational acceleration is 9.82 m/s^2. Terminal velocity is when air resistance is greater than the gravitational acceleration.
With no air resistance:
1st second: 9.81 m/s
2nd second: 19.62 m/s
3rd second: 29.43 m/s
And so on. A falling bullet will probably reach around 100m/s. But that is only if the bullet is dropped, or shot perfectly vertical.

So let me get this straight, the bullet a 30cal right, was fired straight in the air, fell back down to earth, went thorough the shingles, angled roof panels, insulation, attic floor, sheetrock ceiling, and still had enough energy to not only hit him on the head... but also penetrate his skull / killing him?

Let's make this into a decent thread.

How about the opposite? If an astronaut on New Year fired a gun from the ISS perfectly perpendicular to the surface of the Earth, would it still be travelling at sufficient speed to kill someone? Would it lose velocity and only bop 'em on the head? Would it burn up in the atmosphere? Would the rotation and orbit around the Sun of Earth cause the planetary surface to move out from under the bullet, causing it to fly wild into deep space where it would inevitably strike and kill an alien, causing a small scale retaliation invasion against Earthlings and future sanctions and pointless Maimi newspaper news articles about the dangers of firing your guns at the ground?

>You decide.

72KB, 640x298px

>>32495808

>>32495855
It would burn up, given it has enough velocity to exit orbit. The ISS's orbital (lets say horizontal) velocity is ~25153 ft/s, 5.56 has a velocity of ~2522 ft/s, giving the bullet an overall velocity of ~25279 ft/s. going through the stratosphere at that speed, the bullet will melt and disintegrate.

>>32494999
A falling bullet is harmless, the problem is its going to be incredibly hard to shoot straight up in the air, and if you fire it not straight up its going to conserve that momentum as it travels in an arc and you just have what we call plunging fire.

Firing your gun in the air is dangerous and people should not do it. It is unlikely to find a target so its reasonable to do it if you really need to fire a gun for some reason but you shouldn't do it for fun

A few years ago, in my home town, a stray bullet struck a kid in the head and killed him during a 4th of July celebration.
Now it was practically impossible to figure out exactly where or what angle the round was shot from, but the moral of this story is stray bullets can kill.

Sure, it might not kill you. But to everyone saying a falling piece of metal striking your skull is harmless, you're all fucking idiots.

The paki do this all the times, no fucking harm done.

Do not trust concerned niggers, anons.

>>32500886
You're missing the main point. Firing a bullet in the air is probably not going to result in a falling bullet, but one traveling in a high arc.

That will definitely kill you.

saying a falling bullet is safe is to pre-empt the retards on mount stupid with their 'muh terminal velocity' argument by acknowledging that a falling bullet is safe, but firing in the air almost never results in a falling bullet.

My family used to shoot tracers during 1 of August in Switzerland with Stgw 90s.

Neighbors did it to.

Unless it's perfectly 90°, it's not "safe." Even then, under less-than-controlled conditions, it's not safe either.

Anything other than a perfect 90° upwards shot WILL take on a parabolic trajectory and WILL be deadly. Be sensible and don't use guns with live rounds to celebrate the new year (blanks are OK if not pointed at people in your immediate vicinity).

Why does everyone push this "only perfect 90º" bullshit? All the bullet has to do is lose enough energy to go below terminal velocity, not completely decelerate and come to a stop mid air. A shot at 89º will lose enough energy to freefall at terminal velocity no different than one fired at 90º; it's not going to magically start going faster than terminal velocity again.

I dunno what the maximum angle is to ensure a bullet coming back to earth no faster than terminal velocity, but it sure as shit is less than 90º.

>>32494925

perfect 90, my ass. winds at higher altitudes could push a bullet to behave like it was fired at an angle closer to 80 degrees, and air resistance alone is why the arc of a bullet isn't a perfect parabola

that doesnt have anything to do with how fast its going when it impacts.

straight up is safe because the bullet has to stall out before it can start coming back down, meaning its going to be falling at terminal velocity, which is shown to not really be that much for a bullet. But if the bullet is fired at an arc its not going to stall out, its going to conserve some of its inertia and then that inertia will be added to its gravity acceleration as it falls. The exact calculation is going to depend on exact angle and the exact mass of the bullet but a bullet fired at an angle, even 1 degree off of straight up, is going to impact at more than its terminal velocity in freefall.

Exactly what angle will result in a fast enough bullet to be lethal is going to depend on what has been fired, but when the lethality of a gun is up to what angle you have fired it into the air, firing a gun into the air becomes pretty fucking stupid to do. Like shooting at someone behind some wooden posts or something "gee, i dont think this will penetrate.. but it might but.. probably not if i aim for the knots!"

Your example is not equivalent. There is a justifiable reason for a car to be in a parking lot. Yes, its potentially dangerous, yes it might kill someone, but the benifits to society of people being able to drive their cars into parking lots outweighs the occasional price we must pay in someone getting ran over by a car in a parking lot.

There is no benefit to society at all by shooting guns randomly in the sky. And so the occasional death that occurs has bought us nothing.
