41 deviants said Depends on angle, the resistance of the air, gravity and initial bullet speed.

Aqui en Puerto Rico, en aņos pasados, en las despedidas de aņo viejo, han habido muchos accidentes de balas perdidas y personas han muerto, por culpa de personas irresponsables disparando a lo loco hacia arriba. Han habido campaņas para evitar eso y creo que el pasado aņo no hubo ningun accidente asi. Y creo que me fui del tema. XD

They go up until air resistance and gravity bring them to a stop and then they return to earth speeding up until they reach terminal velocity, at which point they keep a consistent speed until they hit something. Terminal velocity is fast but I don't believe it is anywhere near the speed a bullet is after being projected from a gun by the explosion of gun powder. It could probably give you a decent bruise, maybe even break skin if it hit you right, but would almost 100% not be fatal or even cause a serious wound.

The star answer is amusing. :)

I see others have covered that fact that the bullet must be angled and blah, blah, blah. :)
