it was a simple and hyperthetical question, no need to be rude
i was just considering the drag and mass of the pellet, the distance it could travel vertically upwards with relation to air resistance and the offset of the mass of the pellet and therefore how much velocity downwards it would terminally achieve is all

Somebody will correct me, but as to pellet size .22 will travel further than .177 as if you throw a squash ball and a ping pong ball the squash ball will go further.... does that make sense? lol

As kids, we used to fire vertically upwards regularly with the specific aim of having the pellet land somewhere near. That very rarely happened - and when it did, the best we could achieve usually involved us hearing the pellet land yards away. Dumb it may be - but not dumber than all the other dangerous things we used to do.
