Well yes, of course.  I'm working on something like 30 or more floors. If you work on the theory that each floor is some 2.5m, comes out to ~38m/s. I'm also expecting said nut to be pretty hefty, so while you're right the velocity is going to be slow compared to any bullet.  But it is going to deal comparitively more or similar kinetic energy due to mass.
