.50 cal ricochet


Recommended Posts

Interesting video. Not sure, but it looks genuine.

The round hit the dirt in front of the shooter before his

hat flew off.

I could not tell what he was shooting, but it looked like

a military modern rifle. Could not tell what the target was.

 

Perhaps the round hit an uneven metal surface, like a bolt head,

dimple in the metal or what ever and sent it back. A 180 degree

ricochet in not unheard of, but not common.

Yeah, it's real. He's lucky the bullet hit the ground first to slow it down some. You can see the muzzle brake on the end

of the barrel. .50 cal BMG round 750 grain bullet. It could have taken him out if it hit him in the face.

At least he learned the first time around.

 

Few co-workers 2 or 3 times before they figure out they shouldn't be doing that!
