[ireotkxb] throwing bullets

a superhero participates in a shooting competition, benchrest shooting "unlimited" class, and because there no rules, simply throws bullets at the target.

"Where's your gun?"
(flexes bicep, grins.)

Hog Ellis : Hold it right there!  This here is a hundred mile hour fastball, one of the best pitches known to man today.  If it were to hit you, it would've knocked your head clean off.  I can always miss, but I've been playing pretty good today, so you gotta ask yourself one question.
Carlos Liston : Do I feel lucky?

if you throw hard enough, do air resistance and other chaotic aerodynamic effects become negligible?  on one hand, it seems they would be negligible.  on the other hand, air resistance can be proportional to velocity squared.
