Probably. The bullet would be travelling slower than when it left the gun (see related question) but it would still be travelling fast enough to cause injury. In areas of the world where guns are fired into the air in celebration injury from falling bullets is not uncommon.

If a ton of feathers fell on your head would it kill you?

A Tonne of feathers would not kill you if it fell on your head because a tonne of feathers has a great geometic gravational field which means they are more wider and spread out then compared to a tonne of rocks so they would not have the same gravity force coming down on your which gives you a much greater chance of survival.

A man is shot in the head and the bullet stops just outside the dura mater What is the innermost layer that the bullet has penetrated?

The layers go like this: Skin, Fat, Periosteum, Bone; (Meninges Layers): Dura Mater, Anarchnoid Mater, and Pia Mater. The outermost of the 3 meninges is the Dura Mater, so if the bullet stops just outside of the most external meningeal layer, I would think the answer is that it stops after hitting the bone.


If i dropped a penny off an airplane and it hits your head can it kill you?

I say NO. If you mean it is dropped and falls vertically. Discover Channel's "Myth Busters" tried to determine if a bullet would kill you if it was fired directly vertical and falls on its own. The bullet or penny would fall at terminal velocity which is about 120mph. However, they will tumble which slows them down more. This velocity and their mass is not enough to kill you.
