I just thought of this not too long ago, after watching Afghan men firing guns into the air I used all my knowledge of physics and of weapons to realise something that I doubt has been really thought about.

Firing a gun into the air is one of the most dangerous things to do, why? Well when you fire it upwards at a certain angle it will travel at an extremely high velocity until it reaches a maximum height, then it begins to fall, again at it's maximum velocity. So where do they land?
Surely these bullets hit humans, animals, amunition, unexploded mines.
So maybe it's something that we fail to realise that when they are firing their guns upwards they actualy harm their own people. Just a thought ehh.

I was thinking about this recently myself too. You never hear about them killing anyone, but presumably the only possible alternative could be that they go so far that they burn up in the atmosphere, but i'm sure they couldn't reach anything like the kinds of speed to do that, could they?

Maybe magpies see them as the sunlight catches the metal, and they have them all away?
