Including shotgun pellets raining down at terminal velocity....
Not good!
Shotgun pellets in free fall don't have enough mass to offset drag forces & at terminal velocity won't to do any damage.
The "Myth Busters" show did a pretty good segment on rifle bullets in free fall, which is a slightly different case.
What ARE dangerous are are rifle rounds fired at afairly low angle of elevation.
