Outer space is not TOTALLY empty- simply CLOSE to empty. The space between stars has a tiny amount of dust and a few atoms of hydrogen. Eventually the bullet would hit something, or be slowed by friction. May take a few million years to do that......

What speed does a bullet return to earth?
If the bullet were shot perfectly vertically in a vacuum, it would reach its maximum altitude, then fall at a velocity of 32 ft/sec/sec. The terminal velocity would depend upon the altitude reached by the bullet, which in turn depends upon the caliber and load of bullet shot.
Can a bullet be shot down with another bullet?
If you have incredible aim and like lightening fast reflexes, then i guess its possible, but i would say its pretty much impossible, or you would have to get like 1 and 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 lucky to stop a bullet with another bullet
What is the past participle of shot?
pp = shot He has shot his last bullet.
How far can any bullet ricochet off the ground?
it all depends on the speed that the bullet is shot at. other contributing factors include the angle of the shot and the distance from the ground that the bullet is shot at. sadly, the x-factor of this question is that the ground determines how far it will ricochet. if the ground is water, it will not ricochet.
If you shot a bullet in to the air could the bullet kill you on its way down?
Yes, it could, or it could kill someone else.

Is it possible to shoot a bullet into space from the ground on earth?
Yes, if the bullet is shot with escape velocity.
Why does bullit travel slow in space?
It doesn't. if a bullet were shot from earth into space and had enough acceleration to pull away from earth's gravity, it would travel indefinitely until hitting an object.
How would you prevent a bullet wound?
By not getting shot
If a bullet is shot on the moon and another shot on earth which would travel farthest?
if you really need this you are an idiot but it is the moon
Why will you never survive from a head shot?
It is possible to survive a gun shot to the head. It would depend which route the bullet took.

How fast would a .50 cal bullet Travel if Shot in Space?
The bullet will travel as fast as it would on earth (possibly a little faster, due to the lack of air resistance in the barrel). Once it left the barrel, it would continue with the same speed until slowed by gravity, or it entered a planetary atmosphere- or hit something.
Was George Washington ever injured in combat?
Miraculously not. He had horses shot out from under him, and found bullet holes in his coat after battles, but was never actually shot or otherwise wounded.
If you fired a gun in space would you accelerate in the opposite direction at the same speed as the bullet?
No. Assuming you have a gun that can fire in space, you would travel in the opposite direction, conserving momentum, but because you are more massive than the bullet, your speed in the opposite direction would be less. Momentum is mass*velocity, so your speed should be less than the bullet's by the same factor as the ratio of the bullet's mass to your own. You would also start rotating unless your shot was perfectly aligned with your center of mass.If that's not convincing, consider what happens if you shoot a bullet straight into the air. Does the earth move in the opposite direction at the same speed?
Why does my shotgun shot a bullet every other time?
Because that was the way it was loaded into the gun, shot charge, bullet charge, shot charge, bullet charge. If you load it that way, it will shoot that way.
Which basic component is a bullet and shot pellets?
projectile
