The air speed plus initial stability is what maintains stability. It's the entire reason guns are rifled, to give the bullet initial stability.
If you fire straight up, there’s a point where it reaches an actual zero velocity before heading back down. It’s lost all its stability at this point.
It's quite literally the same thing as dropping a bullet.
