No; the one that postulates that a bullet, fired straight up, will, upon it’s return to earth, will be traveling the same speed at impact as when it left the barrel.

Earth has a layer of breathable gasses, the bullet will land at a substantially reduced velocity.

I don’t think that makes sense. The bullet should only reach terminal velocity on the way back down.
