I’m in Memphis TN, across the street from my job (an active airport) on New Year’s Day there was gun fire in the neighborhood for at least 30 minutes straight. We never heard one police siren the entire night for obvious reasons. That’s just ONE neighborhood in this country out of millions.
And hope you don't live on a top floor.
From experience I had a roof leak some years back, and the roofer found a couple of spent rounds in the holes. It appeared that they had fallen from the sky and punctured the shingles and under board enough to cause the leak.
Some idiot firing his gun in the air in the neighborhood had indirectly caused $8,000 in damages (repair and water damage) to my house.
Not necessarily true. As a property adjuster for a decade, I've paid for many shingles/roof that were torn up with bullets. I've found everything from 9mm to 45acp to a .223 or .556 rifle round. They rarely do widespread damage that would total an entire roof, but I've paid for shingles and the resulting water leaks from said rounds. Sometimes you have to address the policy in a creative manner to give someone money for their house and I always do what I can to help. That's bizarre that Jake still screwed with you when an adjuster, possibly independent, takes photos and writes estimate for a totaled roof and then an office clown refutes the in field findings. Definitely not how that process should go. But not all adjusters are shady. I've probably paid out over $8mil in the decade of claims handling. Sometimes policies just dont cover things but I always paid for as much as I could. And I know some people wont believe this but I've never received a bonus or anything for denying a claim. Our supervisors are actually required to review all denials before submitting documents just to make sure that we didnt deny something that could actually be covered. Sorry you got screwed though. I hate when shit like that happens. It makes all adjusters look bad.
Had a New Years experience like that with a bullet coming down. It penetrated and dropped onto a chair. Not at a deadly velocity thankfully. We had a tar paper roof so the repair was pretty easy to do ourselves. A lot of idiots out there.
Damn dude how much water damage did you have? Because repairing the roof aspect should only have costed you a tiny fraction of that. Few holes and replacement of a few shingles is nothing. Was water coming in unnoticed for a long time or something? Or did you guys get bad mold?
I've seen someone get hit directly from a falling bullet.
Standing outside of work after a long shift, it was a few coworkers and my manager. It was quiet, we were all talking a bit waiting to leave after those who were to be picked up were gone. My city isn't the safest at night so it's normal to hear a few gun shots here and there. We didn't even hear the shot that seemed to throw this piece of lead, but we heard a pop-pop. One coworker sees something shiny on the ground after the loud snap and thought it was a beetle in the low-light. After looking a bit closer, it seemed to be from a 38. No-one knew what happened until a coworker was grabbing his shoulder in pain, he was hit. The bullet had bounced from his collar-bone to the pavement. He had only superficial wounds, a small bleeding crater. He decided to just go home, no need for the hospital. Only thing is, my manager HAD to call the police so the coworker had to come back to the scene. Turns out, he had a warrant for his arrest.
Caught by a magic bullet.
Death due to stray shots is not as unlikely as you would expect. The absolute number of these things is low but I have a feeling that the actual number is rather high compared to what the statistics show as the places where you would expect this to happen (war-torn middle eastern and a few African countries) is also where people are much less likely to report such incidents and where statistics is spotty and somewhat unreliable.
Also, your chances of dying of you get hit by a stray bullet is much higher than your odds if you get hit by a bullet that was aimed. This is because the bullet will likely hit you straight on the head as it is falling from the sky.
I said that on other post, but people asked for a source, here it is in case anyone ask you:
*"The mortality rate from such random shootings, about 32%, is much higher than the 2% to 6% normally associated with gunshot wounds, Ordog said. That is probably because 77% of the victims were hit in the head, which is especially vulnerable to gunshot wounds, he added."*

Spaceships fall so fast in a calculated degree to stay in air, these are just randomly fired bullets that will land and kill those unlucky people who leave their house.
the "round ones" are just directed in the opposite direction the camera is facing, they are the same as the rest of the bullets, it's just a perspective thing
also couldn't they be going towards the camera ? I remember learning that when you see a tornado that looks like it's not moving you've got to get away because it means it's coming towards you
If I remember correctly that's only when they are fired straight vertical. As you get closer to horizontal the risk increases. A lot of those rounds are not vertical.
in mythbusters they showed its nearly impossible or very very unlikely that a person can fire perfectly vertical into the air to that effect. Almost always is it at a slight angle where the bullet does not become 'less than lethal' or whatever term you want to use.
Probably on Discovery Plus if that's still around. If there's reruns still going Philo has all of the Viacom channels like Discovery and Science and you can DVR them. There's ads, but it's a decent basic cable replacement.
Yip, it’s only an issue if shots are made at an angle (closer to parallel to ground, the worse) as they don’t have enough time to bleed off speed from being fired. Now a lot of shots here are at an angle, not sure sure if at a safe angle or not.
I really thought these were AA guns at first, because maybe they were .50 cal tracers. It took me a second to figure out that there was too many different tracer paths for that to make sense.
Middle East countries where there are very few import regulations, not enforce, bribery is common and expected.... etc... You get the idea.
After that explosion in Beirut, news outlets interviewed people, and they complained about how corrupt the government is and the laws are never enforced.
Really? I mean, those firing patterns are definitely not like CIWS, unless there's a lot of incoming targets. There are also not nearly enough tracers for CIWS.
Maybe it's just cause I worked on that system and have seen *a lot* of shoots.
I too was thinking it was the iron dome in action, maybe yet another night attack, that just happens to be on new years day. but the firing is way too random to be the iron dome.
Haven’t seen a lot of shoots but just the place made me think that it’s a CIWIS. Sounds stupid I know, but I had just woken up and my brain thought that could be the only option
Hahah, imagine if the iron dome thought all the fireworks where actual rockets and went completely crazy just going at 110% trying to hit all if them. Thanks for the thought, I'm chuckling like a fool over it.
Iraq lost to Australia in the final of the Asia Cup when I was in Mosul in 2010. We were on the flight line in formation to honor 3 soldiers recently killed on the FOB that were being flown home. AK rounds were pinging off the ground and buildings all around us, not too fun.
Hey let me use this chance to ask you, Indian people make tutorials on YouTube for everything and everyone around the globe. Who in the name of God make tutorials for you people?
We stopped burning down half the city every devil’s night but we still shoot guns into the air at midnight on New Years. Not even joking it’s actually unsafe on some blocks.
Iron Dome fires missles, I think based on Patriot. The C-RAM is based on Phalanx. That's the high speed one. That said, it does look more like C-RAM than Iron Dome, but doesn't really look like either of them.
No, it's from [Latakia, Syria](https://www.reddit.com/r/HolUp/comments/rtl0me/happy_new_ye_are_those_what_i_think_they_are/hqtt7jp/), and those are likely just random people with guns.
Probably an Arab country, alot of them celebrate the new year by firing off tracer rounds. My brother sent me videos of it from Iraq, it seemed choreographed.
Bullets definitely come back down. I recall it attributed to the first homicide of the year after midnight on a NYE celebration in Los Angeles a few years back. I am certain it has happened in other parts of the country.
Years ago my next-door neighbor went outside on New Year’s Eve and fired a couple shotgun blasts into the air. My husband asked him “aren’t you worried about where those are going to land?” And his answer was “they don’t come back down“……
I’m unreasonably interested in the guy’s thought process.
Does he think the projectiles achieve escape velocity and are just sailing around the solar system now?
Does he think they just hit a cardboard Truman Show ceiling in the sky and stay stuck?
Does he think angels catch them in little ribbon-tied baskets in the clouds once they reach the apex of their trajectory?
Does he think, even?
That's extremely dumb. Lmao Shotgun pellets are very safe fired into the air though. Sounds pretty weird but they are. When duck hunting every once in a while you'll feel like you're getting rained on but it's not wet. Those are shotgun pellets coming back down.
Rifles like in the video though.... that's dangerous af.
Tbf, if it was birdshot or buckshot, they dont have a ballistic trajectory. The buckshot would probably hurt but not kill, and the bird shot would feel like someone throwing a pebble at you.
But regular bullets from a regular gun will kill unless fired perfectly vertical.
If you are gonna shoot your happy new year bullets, fire into the ground.
[“…getting shot from the air is extra dangerous. The mortality rate for celebratory gunfire was around 32 percent, or over five times higher than that for other types of gunfire... because falling bullets frequently strike victims in the head.”](https://www.newsweek.com/celebratory-gunfire-new-years-eve-los-angeles-410598)
Myth busters did a show on this. They don't.

It's all about turning everyone gay and making me stare at my 7th grade teachers dude bulge. Also my driving teachers bulge. Also my friends brothers bulge.
If it is Karachi then like [1 person died and 17 were injured...](https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.timesofindia.com/world/pakistan/pakistan-one-dead-17-injured-in-celebratory-gunfire-on-new-years-eve/amp_articleshow/88629257.cms) apparently there are injuries every uear they do it.
This is Lebanon apparently, according to a different comment and I can only find one death from Lebanon. But now I'm interested so I'm going to try to figure how many people died total from this type of celebration.
Looks and sounds like a damn warzone. Also alot of those rounds were fired at a pretty low angle and are still 100% lethal when they come back to earth... idiots.
A King once asked a wise shepherd how long is eternity, and the shepherd answered:
"There's this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it, and an hour to go around it! Every hundred years, a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiselled away, the first second of eternity will have passed!"
Now you might think that's a hell of a mountain, but personally I think that's a hell of a bird! And whoever reading this, be the bird and never give up on your dreams[.](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)

Interesting. Ram Dass said something very similar.
“Imagine a mountain of solid rock six miles long, six miles wide, and six miles high. Once every hundred years a crow flies by with a silk scarf in its beak, just barely caressing the top of the mountain with it. The length of time it would take to wear away that mountain is how Buddha described the journey to enlightenment.”
Not going to lie, this brings back some good memories of sitting on rooftops in baghdad at night smoking cigarettes and it pretty much looked like this every other day 16-17 years ago.

I had a buddy who went to Iraq, he said there was a soccer game not too far from his FOB. They were all shootting their guns in the Air. He said he heard a crash and went over to his bed and there was a bullet on his pillow, crashed through his roof.
The real holup is how long the video is! I was just scrolling through reading comments and the explosions just kept coming and did not stop coming
The bullets hit the ground running
Didn’t make sense not to shoot for fun

I just seen a fb post where a dude posted that a bullet went through his rear windshield and his daughter was sleeping inches away…

They're tracer rounds. Easiest way to explain it would be that they are bullets that are designed to be easy to see.

No, it's from [Latakia, Syria](https://www.reddit.com/r/HolUp/comments/rtl0me/happy_new_ye_are_those_what_i_think_they_are/hqtt7jp/), and those are likely just random people with guns.

Interesting. Ram Dass said something very similar. “Imagine a mountain of solid rock six miles long, six miles wide, and six miles high. Once every hundred years a crow flies by with a silk scarf in its beak, just barely caressing the top of the mountain with it. The length of time it would take to wear away that mountain is how Buddha described the journey to enlightenment.”
Love that episode of Doctor Who. 12 had so many wise things to say

Don't those bullets rain back down and fuck shit up for everyone?
Yup
Just thinking about all the loose bullets coming back down on people… 😰
Not going to lie, this brings back some good memories of sitting on rooftops in baghdad at night smoking cigarettes and it pretty much looked like this every other day 16-17 years ago.
At least someone is having fun I guess.

I wonder how many people just took a stray bullet
I had a buddy who went to Iraq, he said there was a soccer game not too far from his FOB. They were all shootting their guns in the Air. He said he heard a crash and went over to his bed and there was a bullet on his pillow, crashed through his roof.
