A bullet is falling from the instant it leaves the muzzle. With enough horizontal velocity, it can do damage.
You left out terminal velocity.
I did the math at post 15 but you can check me.
That is simply not true, unless you are shooting the bullet horizontally or toward the ground.
A bullet is slowing the instant it leaves the muzzle of my rifle when I shoot it straight up overhead. But that bullet is climbing until it isn't.
The bullet is certainly earthbound the instant it leaves my rifle...but it takes a while to begin to fall.
“A bullet is falling from the instant it leaves the muzzle.”
Physic 101, well maybe 102. It all depends on velocity when it hits you.
My dad grew up a few blocks away from there.
Entertainment back then when I was a kid wasn’t dodging bullets, it was spying on the widow Ferney next door entertaining men and after the mosquito insecticide truck came down the street and playing W.W.II G.I.s in the fog they left behind! And the ice cream truck in the evenings.
Born in Gary, same hospital as Michael Jackson. Wouldn’t set foot in that area now.
I don’t blame the now out of control community but the Rats that dangled the glittery carrot of dependency for votes. (Starting with LBJ or maybe Wilson or Roosevelt) They have always been using blacks since we started. Now they are branching out. They will suck the life force out anyone vulnerable.
Yeah, with the right horizontal angle definitely.
