Gunshots heard all around HPP lastnight

[AlohaSteven]

Wasn't it Galileo, way back when, who dropped two same-shape-and-size but different-mass items (such as a grapefruit and a cannonball) from the Leaning Tower of Piza and established the whole lore about gravity, terminal velocity, wind resistance (if a feather is dropped instead of a same-shape object) and so on? The validity of terminal velocity is unquestioned here. The rub is whether of not the bullets have actually reached an apex and so defaulted to coasting back down (an issue to which the angle of fire does matter, m'thinks, relative to the place the bullet hits). 'Tis moot though, really, when the natural experiment of idjits firing off guns has documentedly produced the result of people injured and killed.
