6 stupid gun myths everyone believes thanks to movies.

I remember some knucklehead telling me "Bullets rise before they fall." Tried explaining it, but he just wanted to argue.

Probably ex military. I vaguely remember that from Basic.

Technically, bullets only fall due to forces of gravity.
However, when you sight in for a given distance, you're adjusting the aim of the barrel above your line of sight.
Since the bullet travels in an arc, it does rise above your line of sight, then it peaks and starts downward towards the target.
