It is probably appropriate to think that the emission of e.m. waves
is a thermalizing (dissipative) process, as far as mechanical energy
is concerned. If the removal of the mechanical energy were due to
a constant force f, such as friction, then the bullet would be stopped
somewhere. (The acceleration becomes negative after the coulomb
force becomes smaller than f.)
