Falling bullets, a danger or not? Mythbusters says...

I used to live in a neighborhood where people celebrated July 4th and New Years by shooting guns in the air. I knew they were gunshots because they’d come in little runs: pop-pop-pop-pop-pop. Too slow and regular to be a string of fireworks.

But just right to be a Roman Candle.

But just right to be a Roman Candle.

But roman candles generally lack the sharp report, in my experience. It’s more of a poofing sound, like a potato gun.

ETA: And no roman candles have supersonic cracks, but you’d have to be fairly close to hear the one produced by a gun.
