Gravity and air resistance will both play a part. Air resistance is likely to reduce speed and gravity will cause the bullet to be pulled towards the ground.
Gravitational force of attraction....
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]
No, the bullet that is shot will continue to travel at a high speed until it hits something, while the dropped bullet will fall to the ground due to gravity. The two bullets will not land together.
Assuming no affects from air and a smooth geography, both bullets would fall at the same rate of 9.81 m/s^2 toward earth, and hit the ground simultaneously. You have to look at the bullet's velocity as having a horizontal and vertical velocity vectors. The vertical velocity vector is independent from that of the horizontal. The horizontal vector would be the speed at which the bullet is fired, and the vertical vector is the speed at which the bullet falls due to gravity.
Yes, it will fall straight to the ground.
When a bullet is fired into the sky, it will eventually stop becasue it has run out of energy and fall back to the ground.
In theory, yes. In practice, no. In theory, You could fire the bullet with such a great speed that it would orbit the Earth, even if it was only at a height of 1 meter from Earth's surface. In practice, however, their is air resistance. This would cause the bullet to lose speed, and eventually it would fall the the ground.
Gravity

Gravity
Objects accelerate as they fall to the ground due to the force of gravity acting on them. As the object falls, the force of gravity causes it to increase in speed, resulting in acceleration. This acceleration is a result of the unbalanced force acting on the object.
ALL items- large or small- fall at the same speed when affected by gravity. A large bullet and a small bullet, both fired parallel to the ground, will hit at the same time if fired at the same time from the same distance above ground. The FASTER will hit further away, but at the same time.
