Assuming you’re thinking about the movement of the elevator up possibly affecting the gunshot, the short answer: no.

Longer answer: the gun is moving up at the same rate as everything else - it’s in the same frame of reference - and so the bullet coming out of the gun will also have that upward movement.

Well, my thinking was that in such a small confined space, the metal walls of the elevator would be more likely that the bullet would ricochet instead of being embedded.

But I have to confess to not knowing much about physics or guns.
