Like when people fire their guns into the air, what happens to them? Do they go up into low orbit, do they burn up, do they land somewhere else?

They come down nearby – they’re nowhere near fast enough to make it to orbital heights.
If they’re shot mostly upwards they tumble and fall much slower than muzzle velocity.
If they’re shot more horizontally they can continue traveling at lethal speed and kill someone a half mile away.
