Very basically, every bullet fired up or at an angle comes down SOMEWHERE. It may come down and hit the ground, a house, some other structure, a person, etc. Don't know if you meant anything beyond that.

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
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.
What is the past participle of shot?
pp = shot He has shot his last bullet.
Does a bullet shot from a gun undergo any acceleration after it leaves the barrel?
No- or minimal at best. Acceleration of the bullet comes from gas expanding inside the barrel, pushing the bullet. Once it leaves the barrel, (or within a VERY short distance) gas is no longer pushing, and acceleration stops, and bullet begins to slow from air resistance.
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.
Can a bullet shot in the air kill someone?
Yes

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.
Does air push a bullet out of the barrel?
Air and gas. What happens is conflagration, which is halfway between an explosion and an expansion of gas and air.
Could a bullet shot straight in the air come down and kill someone?
Yes. It has happened before.
What happens to projectiles fired vertically into the air Discuss the factors that determine the speed of return to earth Are they still dangerous?
If a gun is fired into the air at a perfect right angle to the earth, the bullet will travel straight up until it stops and falls back to earth. When the bullet reaches the ground, it will be travelling at the same speed as when it exited the gun. Being hit with this bullet would be the same as being shot.
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
What is the past participle of shot?
pp = shot He has shot his last bullet.
If you fired a gun in a vacuum would the bullet travel further than if you shot it on earth?
Yes, because there will be no air resistance.
What is the effect of air resistance on the trajectory of a projectile?
Air resistance cause a bullet to slow up more than it would if the air did not affect it. (In fact, no air means no air resistance, and only gravity would affect the shot.) The effect of air is called drag, and it (the drag) results in the curve of the arc of the shot being greater. The denser the air, the more the air acts to slow the bullet. What about moving air? Like a crosswind? You'd expect a bit of breeze (or crosswind) to push a bullet in the direction that the breeze is going. But almost all modern bullets spin to give them increased stability and improve the accuracy of the shot. The rotation of the projectile, imparted by the lands or rifling in the barrel of the gun, causes the force of the crosswind to act 90 degrees later in the direction of rotation of the bullet. This results in what is called bullet rise or bullet drop. Links are provided below for more information.
What happens in hospital after you're gun shot?
Depends. They will clean the wound, attempt to locate the bullet by XRay. IF the bullet is not in or close to something important, they may decide to leave it there. Otherwise the patient would undergo surgery to remove the bullet, close the wound.
