Not to be a combo breaker, I'll use spoiler tags as well:
The thing with that is, unless they shoot straight up into the air, the bullet is unlikely to come down near them. In fact, it could come down miles away, since it follows a ballistic trajectory. If they do shoot straight up and the bullet comes straight down, again, it'll probably tumble in mid air, reaching terminal velocity. If they then put a bucket on their head they should be safe already.

Good idea. Any specific wishes?
