    Both hit at the same time

    Explanation:

    If air resistant is ignored, then gravitational acceleration g is the only thing that affect the bullets vertical motion, no matter what their horizontal motion is. Since both bullets are starting from rest, vertically speaking their speeds are 0 initially, they are both subjected to the same acceleration g, then they travel at the same rate and would reach the ground at the same time.
