Seriously, small meteorites slow to terminal velocity before reaching the ground. Certainly subsonic, maybe under 300 mph. Way slower than pistol shots.

Not if it small and not very dense. Even gun bullets slow down over the distance. You guys forget about the resistence of the air.

Yes, or worse. A direct hit even by a small metorite should cause great trauma.
