What happens is the bullets very quickly slow down due to the airflow. There were some cases in WW2 where aircaft shot themselves
down when firing at a target and diving into thier own rounds.

It also happened to a Grumman F-11F Tiger. 11 seconds after it fired a burst the flightpaths met and down it went.
