Re: [Phys-l] Final velocity of bullets

http://www.frfrogspad.com/miscella.htm
indicates that bullets fired straight up come down after about a minute
at speeds around 134-323 ft/s with little reduction in their spin rate
and that they need to be traveling at speeds around 180-360 ft/s to
penetrate skin.
