- Not! When it leaves the barrel, the bullet has the force of the propellant
- (gunpower, for those of you in Rio Linda) behind it. Coming back down, on
- the other hand, it only has tha acceleration of gravity working on it, less
- resistance from the air. In simple terms, on the way up it's being pushed,
- but on the way down, it's only falling.
