NRA did a much more exhaustive study during WWII. Bullets fired straight up,, something like 80% tumble and fall presenting very little hazard. The other 20% maintain their spin and return to earth base first,, still spinning,, and are deadly.

And anything fired from around 45 degrees angle,, returns to earth at etreme range, very close to muzzle velocity.

Care to back that up with a source? Very close to muzzle velocity? that’s BS
