Hey thanks!  I was really having some troubles with what should have
been a basic question.  That's what I get for trying to do it with a
physics handbook.   Too many variables that I wasn't sure how to
discount.  Thanks again.
I know I chopped off a lot of what you said.  Not ignoring it or
discounting it.  Just chose to take the small tumbling bullet here.
Seems to me to be the most likely scenario.
Seems to show pretty clearly that there really isn't any danger of death
by falling bullets.  Or at least no more then the danger of larger hail
stones.  Sure someone somewhere can die of it, just as people do manage
to die from hailstones and toilet explosions.  But it just doesn't seem
to be a real danger to worry about.
