You are probably right there, and I still don't see the point in it but there we are anyhow.

Me either. Everything comes down somewhere.

Terminal velocity

See above. Terminal velocity for many rounds is still capable of causing injury or death, and that's only for rounds fired at a steep enough angle. Rounds fired non-vertically will impact with greater velocity.

So it can be terminal.
