A bullet falls as soon at it leaves the barrel of the firearm.

In other words, if you hold a bullet in your hand and drop it, and at the same time you shoot a bullet parallel to the ground, both bullets will touch the ground at the same time.

In order to shoot at targets that are further away, the muzzle of the firearm is raised above the line of sight. Go outside, take a garden hose, and spray a stream of water. If the hose is held parallel to the ground the water begins to drop as soon as it leaves the hose. To spray something further away, you will raise the angle you are holding the hose- water will spray up, and fall back.

If an object in motion will stay in motion what causes a bullet shot into the air to fall?

An object in motion will stay in motion until acted on by another opposing force. So gravity causes a bullet to fall back to the ground, but wind and air resistance cause the bullet to not fall strait back from where it came, aka one barrel. ____________ The above is true, only if Newtons theories are correct. If Newtons Theories are incorrect, then the bullet performs in the manner The Creator of all things and happensings decreed that it will. [see discussion on this comment]
