Guy digs out bullet imbedded in his deck

Do they fire guns into the air on New Year's where you live?

What caliber is that? 7.62×39mm?

Here if they do and get caught they're going to jail. Matter of fact I think it's illegal in most (if not all) cities and towns.

Looks like it..

You can't even fire an air rifle in my city limits.

I haven't heard guns fired on NYE (that I could tell) since I moved into the city. When I lived in the boonies it was common.

The 7.62x39mm is the most common caliber of the AK-47 and SKS. It is, I believe, a Russian cartidge developed for military use. It is about the same as a 30-30.

Probably a round that was fired into the air. What goes up must come down somewhere.

If it was fired directly at the deck it would have went right through it.

I remember in Orlando when a guy fired a gun in the air and killed a man several blocks away.

Celebratory gunfire

Celebratory gunfire (also called aerial firing) is the shooting of a firearm into the air in celebration. It is culturally accepted in parts of the Balkans, the Middle East, the South Asian regions of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Northern India as well as Latin American regions. In regions such as...

People die every year from falling rounds that idiots fired into the air. I have used an AR-15 as a "noisemaker" but only by firing DIRECTLY into the ground at a VERY acute angle so that no ricochet was possible.

Yes directly at the deck, might go through, but shot up in the air not really, because when the bullet finally hits terminal velocity it is traveling a lot slower coming down.

32 ft per second per second, isnt as fast as you think.

The Science Of Why Firing Your Gun Up Into The Air Can Be Lethal

July 4th and New Years Eve are the most dangerous times for a hail of falling bullets from 'celebratory gunfire.'

Instead, a falling bullet comes back down with a speed of only around 150 miles-per-hour (241 kilometers per hour), which is just 10% of the speed it was fired with. Because of how energy works (proportional to your speed squared), a bullet that falls from high in the air only possesses 1% of the energy of a bullet newly fired from a gun: the equivalent of a brick dropped from a height of just 50 cm (about 20 inches) off the ground.

Yes they do, and it is very dangerous.

Still better than digging out a bullet embedded in his dick. Bada-boom.

Correct...In Nassau County you have to shoot at the range.

.308 Win

The .308 Win is 7.62x51mm. IMO, a much better round.

You saw it in wood, and it would do some damage if it hit someone in the head. Especially a child.

 

[Missourian]

I think mythbusters busted the "gun shot straight up" myth...but a shot at any angle that allows for a ballistic trajectory is very, very dangerous.

No firearm discharge is legal in my town. Like okfine ... pellet guns and bow and arrow fire is also illegal.

oh, you saw it in wood? Did you see it go into the wood? Just maybe it was planted there?

You wouldn't be able to identify a 7.62 bullet as a 7.62/39 unless you fired it yourself.
