What happens when you drop a loaded gun off a 20 story building?

[freeringo]

Do all the bullets explode when a loaded gun hit the ground at high speed?

What a about a single bullet?

[markjfixit]

I would say no way unless the round was chambered and the firing pin was released on impact. so for example a fully loaded m-16 tossed off 20th floor I think it would hit the ground and just break the stock or other pieces but not fire at all. and if the saftey is on then no way at all. more important question is wtf made you ask this or want to know the answer?? lmao

no i totally get this ..he is looking for at least seven posts saying that nothing would happen ...so when...ok IF....he throws one off a building he can say that all his knowledge led him to believe that nothing would happen ...and he goes free and all of us ...yes all of us that gave our opinions would be liable....well freeringo...i'm not falling into your trap.....

I would like to go on record that I now, and have always believed, that all firearms should be kept unloaded at all times until the time at which the owner of said gun chooses to engage it and take full responsibility for its subsequent misfiring that may or may not cause harm to another....

Let the reccord also reflect that I for one feel the need for persoanl ownership of assault weaponry is absurd and should not be protected under the Bill of Rights "right to bear arms".

I also have not and have never felt like dropping anything from a 20 story building. I have not now or ever asked someone to do this for me or given any advice on said subject.

ok then ...so which way is the wind blowing and from what direction on this 20 story building?

Why I want to know Mark?
I have no idea.

I believe a demonstration may be in order.

By sue: so which way is the wind blowing and from what direction on this 20 story building?

predicting the wind direction from atop a tall building is like trying to predict what 2 cards you have when you go all -in!!!!

When I was a teenager we used to tape BB's to the primer of 12 gauge shotgun shells and throw them off the roof of our house(why,I don't know)and they sure as heck went off.Then the cops came and my Mom really went off when she got home and found out from the police what happened!
About your question,why don't you try it and let us know.We will all get together and have a seance and your spirit can tell us what happened,lol.

I watched Fastforward last night and the black FBI agent jumped off a building trying to prove he could change the future.
Well he had a gun strapped to his belt and I never seen anyone jump off a building with a gun before. Most jumpers don't have a gun or they would just shoot themselves. I question everything and my wife still loves me.
I am the luckiest person in the world.

So if I threw a handful of bullets off the tallest building, none of the bullets would explode?
