1. How fast is a speeding bullet anyway?
2. If a bullet is fired directly upwards, roughly how fast will it come back down again? (This is the fastest estimated speed based on computer modelling for a 9mm handgun.)
3. Which is more likely to be fatal: a bullet fired in a typical shooting, or a falling bullet from "celebratory gunfire" (when guns are fired upwards)?
