Aw GEEZUZ Jordan! You gotta think about things 'fore you open your mouth. The only place for the energy to move the ran drop can come from is the bullet. No ifs. No ands. No buts. If the bullet gives up the energy to move the drop, the bulloet is effected. If the bullet does not move the drop it is unaffected.
If you've ever shot in the rain or very humid air you will see a sizable "tube" of disturbed water along the bullet's path. The perturbation of all that water and the change of state you see is energy given up by the bullet.
