Remember what i've taught you. Keep in mind variable humidity and windspeed along the bullet's flight path. Also, at this distance, you'll have to take the Coriolis effect into account. Also: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp9JPQvrRr0&feature=related[/media] This is really sad though.
[QUOTE=Maucer;19435748]An 8 gram ak47 bullet can travel many miles if you shoot at 45 degree angle. After just 2 miles, if definitelly can be deadly.[/QUOTE] No doubt it can travel a few miles, but the real question if it has enough energy to bust through the roof and a human skull. Knowing how quickly the 7.62 looses its energy after just 100 yards tells you how well it will perform as a long range round.

Maby wood or something.
Holy crap. The chances of that happening are painfully low.
[QUOTE=Maucer;19436214]Yeah... but I doubt the roof was a regular one. Maby wood or something.[/QUOTE] That could be a possible solution, I highly doubt it though, from what i've said before, all the churches i've seen are made of thick brick.
The bullet was real, his god wasn't.:angel:
[QUOTE=Oecleus;19436298]That could be a possible solution, I highly doubt it though, from what i've said before, all the churches i've seen are made of thick brick.[/QUOTE] Look at the picture in the article. Looks fairly simple. Maybe a sheet or two of aluminum with some insulation.
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;19436324]The bullet was real, his god wasn't.:angel:[/QUOTE] I bet the person who shot the gun was atheist; typical atheists, only thinking about themselves.
I hate guns
Poor kid, the people who shot the bullet should go to hell. [editline]05:58PM[/editline] [QUOTE=FLoggin Moffins;19436470]I bet the person who shot the gun was atheist; typical atheists, only thinking about themselves.[/QUOTE] Probably.
[QUOTE=Watevaman;19436412]Look at the picture in the article. Looks fairly simple. Maybe a sheet or two of aluminum with some insulation.[/QUOTE] I couldn't find any better picture besides a slightly distant shot of the overall church, it looked like simple shingles. I doubt that a two mile shot still has the power to bust through even that, but i'm tired of this thread anyways.

i have always wondered what happens to bullets when they get fired in the air.. i suppose they have to come down somewhere

[quote]Marquel's mother Nathalee told how her son died just 20 minutes into the New Year. 'I saw his Nintendo game fall on the floor, and I heard a sound and I heard him scream a little bit,' she said. 'I looked around and all I saw was blood coming from his head. It's so hard. He was my only child.'[/quote] Let this be a lesson to you faithful people: God hates kids playing computer games in Church.
[QUOTE=whenisitover;19434476]That's just epic And I wonder why this never happened with the starting pistol at the start of races. Hmm...[/QUOTE] Blanks dumbass.
Holy shit, what are the odds?
[img]http://www.spreadtheiris.com/images/smilies/BoomHeadShot.gif[/img] Right? Wait, why is the mother blaming the shooter? That's fucked up. It's not anyone's fault. Technically speaking, as so plainly drawn an above post, the energy originally imparted by the gun was completely gone by the time it reached its highest point. The only culprit is gravity. Shit Nevermind turns out it's a felony to fire bullets into the air. gimmeboxes [editline]02:04PM[/editline] [QUOTE=lolwutdude;19435716][img]http://dmitrybrant.com/images/family_guy_god.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] "Wait, are you playing FUCKING GAMEBOY?"
[QUOTE=Payne IV;19434498]also, ITT: Dickheads trying to be cool and funny.[/QUOTE] Welcome to In The News. Enjoy your stay.
Honestly, this is freakishly tragic. Poor kid; an insane way to go.
[QUOTE=Oecleus;19434505]Any bullet fired from two miles away isn't going to hold the energy needed to come through a roof and still bust through human skull. Terminal velocity of the bullet doesn't give it enough energy.[/QUOTE] It was travelling faster than terminal velocity because it was fired in an arc. Unless the kid shot it up through the church roof himself. [editline]01:20AM[/editline] Self rated late
Best headshot ever.
I'd like bullets acting like this in Battlefield 3.
[QUOTE=Maucer;19435748]I don't know if I should either laugh or cry. Even if the bullet had zero aerodynamic drag, if would still drop only at the same velocity as it was shot. [b]And no, even if the aerdyn drag would be 0, the bullet would have to be fired at least 11,2 km/s so that it wouldn't come back to earth at all.[/b][/QUOTE] Wait what? How does escape velocity have anything do do with this?
Why are we arguing what is confirmed by the police and has no other answer because bullets don't just get fired from the sky so obviously someone shot from the ground and the thing landed in a kid's head?
