So my friend was walking home from school and he got shot in the head...

My friend was walking home from school a few days ago. He came back the next day with a reddish, hairless healing patch of skin on the top left side of his skull. Interestingly round. I asked him where it came from... apparently he was walking and a bullet came flying out of nowhere. The doctor said it looked like a 9mm (the hit mark sure looked like it. It was a hollow point apparently, and you can even see where the points of the HP made contact with the skin). The wound is fairly 90 degrees of an angle to the ground, so I doubt it fell out of the sky. Probably some drunk moron doing the whole 45 degree fire-in-to-the-air thing...

Yeah! It had to be from a couple hundred meters at least.

It made full contact. It was obviously going too slow for the HP to expand, but enough to create a minor impact cut.
 
Jesus! From the title of your thread, i was thinking like this was an "I want attention" thread and it just sorta sounds like a setup for a bad joke. But after reading it, man... sorry for thinking that. Your friend is very very lucky.

Are you saying that the bullet struck your friend tip first, and then bounced off?

He said it actually kind of stuck to his flesh tip-first... I'm not sure about that, but I know quite a lot about firearms and it seriously looks like a medium-sized pistol caliber, hollow point. He's not really a liar either, I believe him.
 
I heard a story of a man finding out years later he had gotten shot in the head when he had an X-ray and the bullet was apparent. He had thought for years he got hit in the head with a brick.

Sounds kinda fishy to me. I just dont see how a bullet from a 9mm (or larger) could create that kind of wound (unless it was shot out of a slingshot😉).

Well, if you're talking long-range here, it can still hit with quite a hurting hit... it'll press into the thin skull tissue and create an impact cut type of thing.

😛 No digital camera access, no way to get a camera into the school without some loser admin seeing it and taking it.

Well, you got to remember, it's falling out of the sky, so it's under going accerlation due to gravity, whatever force it had coming out of the pistol is long gone. And a 9mm isn't that heavy at all, so the wound wouldn't be that horrible, but the guy is pretty damn lucky anyway.

 
that brings me to ask...
is it against the law to fire into sky?...
like i have a gun legally and i fire into sky..

if it hits someone on the way down...is it my fault?
and i dun want your opinion...i want the legal fact 🙂

Actually, according to the laws of physics, it should return to earth at the same velocity at which it left.

Yes, they bust people in Philly for it.

He's not really a "true friend", he's just a guy that I talk with during lunch and biology and stuff. I don't know anyone to borrow from, much less who has one.

How do you figure this? If I shoot straight up, it is leaving the muzzle at hundreds of feet per second. When it gets to the end of its travel upward, it would be just like if a guy in a hot air balloon dropped it. It would stop, then begin to fall. So when it comes back to earth, it is going to be going however fast things go when they fall. Not sure what that formula is, but it isn't hundreds of feet per second.
