Bullets don't make it that high due to air resistance. If you point a gun to the sky, the bullets will not surpass 15000 ft or so. You either need an active propulsion or your projectile needs to be shot with extreme velocity like the ones of rail guns for example

You don't have to fire bullets from the ground...
