>>I watched them prove that a bullet won't kill someone when it falls. They

>>so the bullet reaches a zero point and all they are measuring it the

>>out how much impact and force a bullet will have after being fires at an 
>>angle over long distances where it doesn't reach a zero point and tumble. 
>>People have been hit with these types of shots and been injured or died. 
>>All they proved is that if you shoot straight up you won't get killed 
>>when the bullet falls and hits you.
