According to a 1962 study, .30 calibre rounds can reach terminal velocities of 300 feet (91m) per second as they fall. More recent research has indicated that 200 feet (61m) per second is enough to penetrate the skull.
None of these are fired straight up. They maintain spin and therefore a higher velocity if fired at a non-vertical angle.
