Among more than 200 countries in the world, one of the safest countries in China, has been successfully developed with the successful development of China's self-built aircraft carrier , fifth-generation aircraft , intercontinental missiles and Beidou navigation . China's international status is getting higher and higher, attracting a large number of foreigners to travel, work and live every year. More importantly, China is still a country that prohibits guns. The state controls guns very strictly, and any act of privately hiding guns is a crime. Ordinary people can only see guns through film and television dramas, and most people probably won’t be able to touch real guns in their lives!
But we will see that when the country holds important ceremonies, it will fire its guns to the sky to celebrate. Speaking of this, some people will be curious. When the bullets shot fall from a high altitude, will they not hit people if they fall? Generally, when doing activities, the crowds are dense, and a small stone falling from the sky can knock people unconscious, let alone a metal body. Then what will happen?
First, when shooting towards the sky, the bullet will be shot out instantly due to the kinetic energy provided by the gun gunpowder . If it is a rifle, the general speed is 700-800 meters/sec. The maximum range exceeds 2 kilometers. Considering that there are generally no obstacles in high altitudes, after the final speed of the bullet's frictional force passing through the air drops to 0, after the gravity attraction of the earth, the bullet will continue to accelerate and fall to the ground until it lands or hits the obstacle. Although the final speed of the decline is less than one-tenth of the original, the lethality can still hurt people, and there is no problem in breaking through the skin.
At this time, if the bullet falls on the head of the human body and is unlucky to hit the most vulnerable part of the head, it may cause death. But this probability is extremely low. If you just hit the back and limbs, you will basically suffer minor injuries, which will not cause any trouble. In Iraq War , the Iraqi army once fought against the US military and won one by accident. So the troops began to celebrate. At this time, some soldiers were too excited and picked up the AK and pulled the trigger into the sky. As a result, as soon as the gunshot stopped, five soldiers were hit by bullets and fell down.
For this kind of gunfire, it is more common in Western countries, such as the United States. Every household in the United States has basically any guns, so shootings in the United States are very frequent. For guns in the United States, they are a symbol of culture and a tool of entertainment. In their spare time, they will shoot in order to release pressure. According to incomplete statistics, there have been more than 100 cases of bullets fired in the sky in the United States within 7 years, all of which have caused casualties of varying degrees. It can be seen that the harm of this shooting method.
In fact, in daily life, when holding ceremonies, the army or police fire their guns into the sky, generally using empty bullets . Whether in terms of material or quality, it is not as good as a real bullet. Even if it lands, it is not harmful. It can save costs and cause unnecessary waste. It can achieve the desired effect again.
