Physics question
There is a (magic) B-17 flying along at 560 mph. The tail gunner is out of
..50 caliber ammo. He sees a Messerschmitt ME-109 crossing behind the B-17, 50 yards away. He pulls out his trusty .45 Colt auto (muzzle velocity 820 fps) and fires at the Hun when the ME-109 is directly behind the B-17. He leads the Messerschmitt by exactly enough to hit the pilot (if he were firing from a fixed position). Does the bullet exit the muzzle and fall directly to earth? Rich "Scratching my head" S.
