Would a falling bullet kill you?
-
Caption 1: This 175-grain boattail bullet remained in the air 67 seconds; yet others of the same type, discharged at the same instant, stayed aloft 107 seconds, or 40 seconds longer
-
Caption 2: This 150-grain army service bullet went up nearly two miles and was gone 49 seconds before it returned, tail downward, to dig itself into the sand
-
Caption 3: Conducting the world's first scientific tests to determine exactly what happens when a rifle bullet is shot straight upward, Capt. Edward C. Crossman discovered astonishing new facts about the rise and fall of the regulation army rifle bullet shown at right, revealing that a falling bullet, if hit you, probably wouldn't cause anything more serious than a headache
-
Caption 4: From a machine gun mounted on the top platform of his tower, bullets were fired straight upward. Half-inch armor plate covering the lower platform protected observers from returning missiles
-
Caption 5: Not one of the rifle bullets tested returned to earth with power enough to bury itself more than two thirds of its length in the sand
