• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Celebratory Gunfire??

Mythbusters noted a perfect scenario where a bullet shot straight up, lost all its energy, then simply fell back down at terminal velocity would be not lethal. However if I'm recalling right they said most people who shoot off celebratory bullets don't hold their guns straight up and down and even if you shoot a bullet shot straight up the wind current could push on the bullet and push it into a ballistic trajectory and come down with lethal force.

See OBIO post on the first page for more info.

As for arms and munitions. It is no secret that Libyan rebels have been alowed to buy arms and munitions and NATO will let the bring them into Libya.

We got bullets going back years, cops never asked for them (AFAIK). About a year ago, a plane got damaged by a bullet, the cops came out, made report and took the bullet that was found nearby.
