You've obviously never thrown a frisbee to yourself while standing still, then, have you

Not as much of an issue with a low velocity pistol round, but there's also the earth moving beneath the bullet.

Not relevant as the earth, the air and the bullet are all rotating at the same speed ... not if you fired a ballistic missile into space that might be another matter, but not with bullets.

Those two articles indicate a speed of perhaps 0.3 Mach for the returning bullets. Note a silenced bullet travels at less than 1.0 Mach (it doesn't make a sonic boom) and can (does) kill. While a skull penetration is unlikely, it would be possible, serious injury is a given (which is what happened).

you know damn well those dumb ass rednecks all have big ol' .50 cal desert eagles or similar which equates to a huge amount of lead coming down, so it could sell happen.

statistically, ok it's very improbable, but how many times have dumb ass rednecks or similar done just that same thing? sooner or later one of them (or one of his mates)is going to get a taste of his own medicine.

anyway, i like the story better when its true. make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

I heard that in Afghanistan (before their 'war' with America) there was a high percentage of deaths by falling bullet due to the large amount of people shooting their Khalashnikov rifles into the air and saying "whoop". I wouldn't be surprised if it was true or false but it's a great story and the anti KKK spin doctors did a good job, kudos etc.

yeah it could be

however when i put in the units into the analysis i was getting a weird answer out so i did all the numbers in s.i and with out the units and got that answer then did the unit analysis and that worked ah well i won't lose any sleep over it
