Nope--in fact, it wouldn't even come close to terminal velocity unless it was fired pretty far up in the air. If this were true, a baseball player would have to catch a pop fly that would come down with the same force as it had when it left the bat--not an attractive proposition! One of my dim-witted (actually quite bright, but with a TERRIBLE destructive streak!) college buddies would fire his 12-gauge into the air straight up, and then stand there and listen to the pellets falling down throught the leaves. He even got hit by a few, but they had hardly any energy left--not even enough to cause a welt.
