FWIW, the terminal velocity of a bullet (say, fired straight upward) is typically not that large. Depending on the bullet this science writer says ~200 mph at most, but less than 100 mph with some. (It’s an interesting little article).

But of course, if you shoot at a low angle, the bullet comes down sooner and hasn’t dissipated all that muzzle velocity.

A bad idea in any case.

Who would want to be hit on the top of the head or shoulders by a bullet going “only” 90’mph?
Very true - as I said, a bad idea in any case.

A stray bullet fired by a moron celebrating the 4th of July killed a woman in Lansing, Michigan several years ago.

Also Texas:

Toddler shot in dead after knocking gun off shelf.

The gun was ready & waiting for a tyrannical government to bust down the front door.

I'm sure the parents feel it was a small price to pay to protect their home & family.
