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.

How far will a 9mm bullet travel before it begins to fall?
A 9mm bullet will travel approximately 2200 meters before it begins to descend to the ground. However, unless the person shooting the gun is in a open field, the bullet will not travel that far before hitting something.
If a person gets shot in the back with a 22caliber bullet will the bullet travel in the body?
it depends where, what angle . if the bullet is led no it will splatter on a bone but it might go in the tissue and it depends how far you are up close it will go right though you! but if you were standing on a 4 story building and a person shoots from the ground you, will be like a paint ball it depends where, what angle . if the bullet is led no it will splatter on a bone but it might go in the tissue and it depends how far you are up close it will go right though you! but if you were standing on a 4 story building and a person shoots from the ground you, will be like a paint ball
Shoot a 30 30 bullet straight up how far does it go?
When a .30-30 bullet is shot straight up in the air, it can reach an altitude of around 1 to 2 miles before losing momentum and falling back to the ground. The actual height depends on factors such as the angle of the shot, the bullet weight, and environmental conditions.
A bullet fired horizontally over level ground hits the ground in 0.5 seconds If it had been fired with twice the speed in the same direction it would have hit the ground when?
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.
How far does a bullet travel went shot into the air?
Depends. The caliber of the cartridge, the weapon that fires it, and the angle (straight up, or tilted to one side?) all all variables that will affect how far (or how high) a bullet will go. No one answer for your question- sorry- EDITED AND ADDED: But here's a ballpark figure. If you take a large-caliber military or big game hunting rifle and shoot it into the air on a calm day with the barrel pointed about 35 degrees above horizontal, the bullet will reach about one mile (roughly 5000 feet) in altitude above the ground at the peak of its arc, and it will land on the ground (or water) about 3 miles away. It will land with a lot less speed then when it began its trip, but it will still be dangerous. If you fire the bullet straight up into the sky, it could go up to 10,000 feet altitude ---roughly 2 miles above ground level. That's why military aircraft consider any altitude below 10,000 feet to be "within range" from small arms fire from the ground. Above 10,000 feet they're safe from regular rifles and hand-carried machineguns, but bigger cannons can still reach them.
How far does a .50 Bullet drop?

How far will a 9mm bullet travel before it begins to fall?
A 9mm bullet will travel approximately 2200 meters before it begins to descend to the ground. However, unless the person shooting the gun is in a open field, the bullet will not travel that far before hitting something.
How far 380 caliber bullet can travel?
how far does 380 bullet travel
How far can 357 magnum shoot?
There are too many factors that determine how far a bullet can travel to say with any accuracy how any one particular bullet will travel. For pistol bullets, most people say the average is about a mile.
How far will 22 cal bullet travel and will it have any power?
Over a mile, yes
How far does a hollow point bullet travel before it hits the ground fired from a .32 cal derringer handgun?
The path is close to a parabola.
How far can a 22 caliber bullet travel before the bullet starts to drop?
as far as it wants
Which is faster tgv or bullet train?
Bullet train by far
If you fired a bullet and it never dropped would it orbit the earth and hit you?
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.
How far does an ak47 bullet travell?
Accurately? About 400 meters. When fired at about a 41 degreee angle, it will travel about 2 miles. But at that range, will not hit anything (except the ground)
If a person gets shot in the back with a 22caliber bullet will the bullet travel in the body?
it depends where, what angle . if the bullet is led no it will splatter on a bone but it might go in the tissue and it depends how far you are up close it will go right though you! but if you were standing on a 4 story building and a person shoots from the ground you, will be like a paint ball it depends where, what angle . if the bullet is led no it will splatter on a bone but it might go in the tissue and it depends how far you are up close it will go right though you! but if you were standing on a 4 story building and a person shoots from the ground you, will be like a paint ball
How far does a bullet travel horizontally before gravity has an effect and takes over Is Newtons law correct that the bullet will hit the ground at the same time if it were simply dropped?
Gravity has an effect the instant the bullet leaves the barrel. The bullet starts to fall towards the earth at the same rate as the dropped bullet. However, (assuming the ground follows the curve of the earth, or you are shooting over water) the dropped bullet will hit the ground/water first. The reason is that the as the fired bullet falls the ground is receding away from it (the curve of the earth). The extreme example of this is: the bullet is fired fast enough that as it falls, the curve of the earth is 'falling' continuously away below it; we would say this bullet is now in orbit around the planet. However, if the ground you are shooting over is 'flat' (i.e. flat like a ruler, NOT following the curve of the earth) then: yes, the two bullets will hit the ground at the same time.
