.50 cal ricochet

[Abilene Slim SASS 81783]

This video looks legit, but I always wonder about things posted on the net. Does anyone know if this is real? If so, it's pretty dang scary.

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.

looks real to me.

I've been hit by two of them. Fortunately it wasn't a .50BMG. Neither even caused a bruise, but it is a bit disconcerting.

PROBABLY A GOOD LEARNING TOOL DONT SHOOT STEEL JACKETED ROUND AT A STEEL TARGET

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!

If it is real why is there a credit at the end of movie that says "Created by"?

That's kinda why I wuz askin'. AVSmedia.com (prominently displayed at the beginning) is a video editing program. Makes me wonder. Yes, I'm a skeptic....

Nope, for real.
