You know you can hover over it and see or if on mobile copy it and paste it..... It's just youtube, lazy.

The same amount of time it takes a bowling ball...or a BB....or a penny....or a roasted duck breast....with the same initial velocity and trajectory (ignoring wind resistance)

ETA: In fact, if aimed directly level to the ground...the same amount of time for that bullet to fall down to earth if simply held at same height and dropped.

I really enjoyed the video, and their enthusiasm!

That would depend on how high above the surface it started out.

A 10 minute video?? I bet I could calculate it in less than 10 minutes.

One minute and 50 seconds - in a messican accent.

This is classical physics. How old are you? Do you even quantum, bro?

Assumptions: I am NOT using a .50 Caliber Schrödinger's bullet

I prefer to measure how long it takes to return home.
