I wonder what y'all can say about this Youtube clip showing a guy shoooting a .50 cal rifle and the bullet doing a perfect about-face with the 180-deg ricochet knocking -- no, not his block off, but the earmuff of the bloke off?

Note also the comments of another poster re steel targets and ricochets. Now, I don't know about the rest of you but so far, I'd shot at steel targets at 50 ft using only .45 lead SWC's using light plinking loads only, so I think I'm safe there.

P.S. Perhaps, I should end my post with"I hope", after that video.

Isn't one of the main firearm safety rules "know your target." and "Do not shoot at rocks, hard surfaces, or water?"

Would have been better if this guy got hit in the balls, so he couldn't pass his dumbass gene on to the next generation.

Sure looks real. You can hear the projectile hit the metal target and scream through the air after the bullet is deformed. Plus, just before it strikes the shooter's ear muffs, it strikes the ground approximately 20 feet in front of the shooting bench and skips upward. That guy was sure lucky on that shot. They may have had the metal plate angled in some way and that caused the bullet to deflect backwards without too much loss of energy. It had plenty of energy left to do some serious damage had it struck flesh. I'll bet he had to change his shorts.

Oh how that had to hurt.

Man he's lucky that didn't leave a mark
