308 ricochet

Ricochets Oh Dear

 

Back in the late 70’s I was in South Africa and a friend of mine who was a very good shot said to me at the shooting range, “Watch this”! He then took careful aim with his 9mm Browning Hi- power pistol at a one foot approx diameter one inch thick steel disc at fifty metres distance.

 

He fired the shot and hit it smack dead-centre the full metal jacket made a real ding but then came this sort of whizzy fluttering sound through the air. The spent round hit him with a dull thud in the middle of his chest and he fell to his knees with both hands clutched over his heart!

 

With eyes as big as saucers he slowly unclasped his hands and there in the middle of his snowy white tee shirt was the imprint of a mushroomed bullet, the remains of which were lying on the ground in front of him.

 

Apart from the shock together with just a little bruising and of course a big dent to his pride, (couldn’t see the condition of his underpants) he seemed none the worse for wear. “Do you think you could hit that again Denny”? I said.

I shan’t expand on his reply!!
