Original Note:
Air resistance opposes the bullet's motion, reducing its acceleration and eventually causing it to reach a terminal velocity. For bullets, this terminal velocity is commonly around 150 miles-per-hour, however, in some circumstances, this can still be lethal. https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/the-science-of-why-firing-your-gun-up-into-the-air-can-be-lethal/
