Can a bullet fired straight up in the air kill someone on the ground when it comes back down?
Yes, a bullet fired straight up in the air can be lethal when it falls back down to the ground. The force of gravity causes the bullet to accelerate as it falls, potentially reaching a lethal velocity. This phenomenon is known as a "stray bullet" injury.
Why is the speed of a recoiling gun less than the speed of the fired bullet?
Newton said "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The action is pushing the bullet in one direction. Reaction is the gun being pushed in the other. The energy is speed times mass. The gun masses much more than the bullet, and so will move proportionately slower than the bullet. Which is a very good thing- or the recoil of the gun would kill the shooter.
Would a bullet fired straight up come down with enough velocity to kill?
No, a bullet fired straight up will lose its velocity as it reaches its peak height due to air resistance, and will fall back down at a much slower speed than when it was fired. It is highly unlikely for it to come down with enough velocity to kill someone. However, firing a gun upward is still dangerous as it can cause harm if it hits someone when falling back down.
If you shot a bullet in to the air could the bullet kill you on its way down?
Yes, a bullet shot into the air can come down with enough force to cause serious injury or death. This is known as a "falling bullet" or "stray bullet" phenomenon, and it is important to never shoot a firearm into the air as the bullet can still retain lethal velocity when descending.
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.
If i shot a bullet into the sky and it came down where I stood would it kill me?
It would kill you although the chances of a bullet returning to earth at the precise spot you fired from would be very unlikely.
Did billy kill the red baron?

Can a bullet fired straight up in the air kill someone on the ground when it comes back down?

Why does a gun kill you?
A gun typically is not what kills, unless we are talking about being clubbed with the stock or bayonetted. The bullet fired from the gun combined with the shooter's intent is what kills.
What is the of bullet you need to kill a werewolf?

Why is the speed of a recoiling gun less than the speed of the fired bullet?

Will a 22 rifle kill someone a mile away?
Technically speaking, if one fired a .223 (5.56) it could kill at that range. If you are speaking of a .22LR or .22L, it is almost entirely impossible. The only way that a .22 could kill at that distance, is if you fired it at a very high angle and the bullet somehow landed in the eye socket, or punctured an artery in the arm. Just my $0.02
What is a bullet penatration kill on cod mw2?
A bullet penetration kill is when you kill someone thru a solid object, like a wall.
Would a bullet fired straight up come down with enough velocity to kill?

Can a slug bullet kill you?
Yes, any bullet can kill you. The amount of damage a bullet does depends on several factors, basically: where it hits you, how hard it hits you, and how big the bullet is (or how much it expands).
