They can- and have. A bullet may still have a lot of energy pushing it when it comes down. Firing into the air is a very unsafe practice- and violates one of the very basic rules of safe gun handling- "Know your target, and what is beyond your target".

How many bullets were fired to John F. Kennedy according to Warren report?
threw my research and development i found that there was at least 5 bullets fired upon the presidents limo at a time of under 15 seconds after the secret service stood down and was called back
Why bullets rotates?
Bullets rotate due to the grooves that run down the inside of the barrel walls in a "helical" shape - this is known as "rifling". The grooves make contact with the bullet as it it fired down the barrel and cause it to spin. This improves its aerodynamic stability and accuracy.
What did the patriots do with the statue of king george the third after they tore it down?
== == Colonist Melted it into bullets and fired it at the red coats aka: British soldiers!!!!
Is there a way to find exactly which gun fired the bullet if there are several guns and several bullets?
Yes, there is. Each gun leaves different marks on the bullet as it travels down the barrel. It is just a question of test firing each of the guns available into water. Water stops the bullet in a very short distance without deforming the bullet. Then the sample bullet from the water is placed on one side of a comparison microscope and one of the bullets in question is placed on the other side of the microscope. By careful manipulation of the bullets it's possible to look at both of them to see if they match. If they do, question answered. If they don't, check the sample from the water against one of the other unknown bullets. This process is repeated using test bullets from each of the guns and comparing them against all the unknown bullets. Eventually it is possible to tell which weapon fired which bullet(if all the guns that were fired are available for test firing). The process will also tell whether all the weapons fired are accounted for. If there are bullets that don't match any of the test fired bullets then one, or more, gun/s must be missing
Why does a bullet fired comes down at rest after covering a certain distance?
Two factors- air resistance and gravity. Air resistance is simply slowing the bullet down by having to push air out of the way. Gravity acts on bullets the same way it works on a baseball- it pulls the bullet down. How far a bullet will travel is a function of it's speed, it's shape and size (air drag) and the angle in relation to the earth it was fired along. But sooner or later, they all come back down.
Is there a way to know exactly which gun fired the bullet if there are several guns and several bullets?
I think some bullets only work in certain guns or vice versa, so maybe a person could see what make the bullet was and narrow down the possibilities of guns.
How long does it take for a bullet fired into the air to come down?
after a bullet is shot in the air it travels 4,000 ft in the air and takes 59 seconds to a minute to come down
Does the bullets in Normandie could really penetrate in the water like in ''Saving Private Ryan'' movie?
bullets do not go far after being fired into water.............and are unlikely to penetrate a body after couple of feet into water....Most bullets will shatter after going a few inches into the water, however, if they are already slowed down enough, they could go through the water and kill someone.
If you were fired from your job what should you put down in why you left?
You should put down that you were fired and state the reason for why you were fired.
How is a bullet sized?
The size of a given bullet is determined by its diameter, and its weight. The size must match the size of the barrel it will be fired from, and heavier bullets will be longer. With cast lead bullets, after casting they are pushed through a machine called a die. This squeezes the bullet down to a precise diameter- this is called SIZING.
How many bullets killed Pancho villa in 1923?
he killed hundrexds of people during the mexican revolution. its hard to say how many because its not written down how much he actuallyt killed.
When a person shoots bullets from a gun into they sky-where do they go?
"What goes up, must come down." They will eventually return to earth. They can cause injury when the do.
