The Serious Question Thread

But it doesn't matter that much on which country I am in as I can shoot the bullet far enough that it crosses the border.

The country that you shoot into will retaliate and invade YOU. ;)

Laws will be more likely to relate to guns of the power you'd need to hit an aircraft or another country's airspace, I think.

but does the bullets explodes in the air? otherwise it coul hurt someone back in the gorund

What goes up must come down, including bullets. I was in Mexico for New Year's a couple of years ago and people there like to shoot off guns at midnight. You could hear the bullets bouncing off roofs when they fell back to earth. Now imagine that were your head. :eek:

With regards to law, that's left up to the local municipalities in the United States. THe short answer is in town, it's illegal, outside the city limits, anything goes.

But to you it would still be 1 year, so you wouldn't have gone forwards in your time :uhoh:

I referee at clay pigeon shoots and sometimes I have to move my seat to dodge the shot falling out of the sky.

I would like to refer you to Einsteins relativity theory. A good thing to read is "A short History of Nearly everything" By Bill Bryson. Explains it very well in chapter 9. :)

We are all constantly travelling in one direction through the fourth dimension - time. ;)
