    Shooting actually straight up is very safe, at least for people on the ground. The terminal velocity of a bullet is fast enough to make you say “ouch”, but not much else. Problems can arise if you’re shooting up-ish.

        These are articles for starting pistols? Or regular guns?

        A starting pistol or starter pistol is a blank handgun or, more recently, an electronic toy gun or device with a button connected to a sound system that is fired to start track and field races as well as some competitive swimming races.
