To the idiots that will try this, don’t.
There is a small chance your bullet will kill someone.
It has to end up somewhere.
No, it can not make it passed the Stratosphere… I mean… bullet always come back down.
Nah, bullets don’t go anywhere near escape velocity. Escape velocity is ~11.2km/s and the fastest bullets (FAR faster than most) only go ~4000f/s, which is barely over~1.2km/s.
Any bullet that is shot up will come back down, and not terribly far away, either. Even the biggest artillery systems only have barely over 100km range.
The US government tried that a long while back… The company Spinlaunch is currently working on yeeting stuff into orbit with a centrifuge… So yes, some unusual methods can work.
In gta3, that was my favorite way to get between the islands after picking up misty. Then my older brother showed me where the banshee spawned and I never needed the tank again. Game sometimes got wonky and left the low gravity on for NPCs. Made cop chases a lot of fun
In GTA, at least in Vice City, if you shoot the moon with the sniper rifle, the moon changes size 👍
This works in real-life, too. Try it tonight!

It’s a valid point. My only counter-point: come on, do it, pussy.
What are you, fuckin’ chicken?
Only libtards don’t shoot at the moon!
Doesn’t that depend on how much accelerant you use?

What if my gun is a multi kilometre long railgun?

You’re compensating for something.
That’s what Elon Musk truly try to accomplish with starlink.
It’s the same way irl.
You just need a gun about 10 meters wide
You can also use a low gravity cheat, get into a rhino tank, turn the gun backwards and continuously shoot so the tank starts floating.

I know right?! Haha, fun times!
