Ive been pepper with shot opening day of dove season.  We were standing in the hay barn waiting for the hunters to push one towards us. 


BOOM!*  Sounds like it starts to rain on the tin roof.



BOOM!*  Sounds like hail just peppered the tractor next to us.


BOOM!*   OW! @$^# What the @$%^ was that?!  It fealt like someone had taken a handful of pee gravel and threw at us.  There was two hunters 200+ yards out blasting at any bird that flew, even the pigeons we sent scrambling out of the barn.



I dont know much about this stuff but If I bullet was fired straight up it will reach a peak of 0 FPS before returning.  I dont see how it will accelerate downwards and achieve its initial velocity.  BUT when a bullet is fired on an arc it never reaches 0 FPS.  It will slow down but after it reaches its peak and starts to descend wouldnt it gain a bit of velocity back?  As well as momentum?


Im sure if ya'll give me 2-3 years I can do all of the math for this.  At least I hope so.
