new years bullet damage

[Glock_Man_21]

Anyone else have any bullet damage from all the idiots firing their guns into the air? At work we have found 3 cars on our lot with bullet damage, one a hole thru the windshield. Plus I have found numerous bullets in the lot, 6 so far mostly 9mm.

Where is this all taking place at? I have seem posts about it but I thought people were joking.

One guy on here said his neighbors put a hole in his jonboat.

I think someone posted that it was less respectable neighborhoods or something like that.

Luckly my personal vehicles weren't damaged at my house. I work off of 38th and Georgetown.

How could you tell they were 9mm?

By the size

I can't believe people just fire into the air in a big city. I live out in the country and would still never just fire into the air.

I work in Dolton Illinois...we have huge silos that get shot at.
Maintenance guys find bullets on the ground all the time.

Makes me feel safe walking around out there....idiots.

I was working that night and me and my partner had to go out on multiple calls. Gotta love working on 42nd and Post Road Always action over here

I was near 38th and 465 at midnight and heard at least 40 to 50 shots fired.....

Sorry. I'll point in the other direction next year.

I know what you mean I live in a rural area and my son and I still fired into the ground and I have 3 acres. I'm new to the state and am told I don't work in the best of areas. But a perk is Don's guns is kinda just across the street so guess where I spend most of my lunch breaks.

son of my boss said a girl was shot in florida from a celebration bullet. and that his local pd calls all units in just before midnight on new years night, and turns them loose 15 minutes after.

Pretty much sums it up.

We used to find them on the helipad at Meth Hosp

I am going out on a limb here, but wouldn't think a bullet fired straight in the air would do that much damage when it landed. After all, it would fall at terminal velocity and has a fairly small mass. I'm sure I am dead wrong since physics class was about 10 years ago. My point being, are you sure someone didn't fire at the vehicles, especially being located near Lafayette and 38t?

Without actually looking up the episode to get all of the details, I will say that you are correct and Mythbusters proved this. However, that is if the round is fired straight up. If it is either way of 90* it can gain trajectory and become lethal.
