[QUOTE="MR.T., post: 3277336, member: 4793"] MythBusters have done this experiment. I don't remember the name of the episode, but they went to the desert & fired pistol bullets into the air & had sensors or something around to list for the impact on the ground. They never found any of the rifle bullets, (much more range & rotation of the earth carried the bullets too far away from them.) So they figured out what the terminal velocity was & dropped the rifle bullets from a height that let the bullets reach their terminal velocity. & they took all the readings & measurements & everything.
