lurcherboy Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I think that if that had happened to me I would give up shooting LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancs Lad Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 probably a good job that the round took another ricchochet on the ground before hitting him......... I would have been hitting the deck when I heard the whistle coming towards me........................... Man is lucky to be alive................. think I would have been buying a lottery ticket that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinner Posted June 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 i wonder what he is shooting at for it to bounce .50 back to him,not shore if they mention iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 They do mention iron, in order for it to come directly back like that they'd have to be doing something really dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 The topic of conversation does seem to suggest they were shooting at something stupid......wonder what odds you'd be given for that to happen, ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 saw this on bbs. Its MAD!! If you pause the video at 34 seconds, you can actually see where the bullet hit the ear defenders. Very lucky guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipper Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 1 lucky man When in the presense of guns SAFETY must allways be your 100% priority but we all get complacent at times and forget this. Then we watch video clips or read about accidents and it reminds us that what we are playing with could kill us if not used and respected as it should be, Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve3562 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 one lucky guy, shouldnt be alive whats he thinking shooting iron with a 50 cal!! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye ive Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Mmm!! I shoot at a Stainless steel backstop at 100yds ,,,,,,,,,,,,But it is with a fragmenting bullet ,ballistic tip to be precise .I have also shot hollow point but I'm curious because a .50 solid round would go straight through a considerable thick piece of metal because the energy is'nt transfered or spread as in soft material but quite focused ..........I think maybe it's the result of that iron plate being lent right on a solid bank (No air gap behind )of already compressed sand that might have helped this ricochet on it's way but who knows :unsure: yes a lucky man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Normally, being the geek I am, I would have tried to work out how this could happen (no offence to anyone who isn't a geek and has done the same) :unsure:. This time I just assumed they'd have to be doing something daft and left it at that. To come back like that, obviously substantially similar to the projectile he fired, is almost beyond belief. It obviously came back quite fast, but given you can see it on 24fps video, not all that fast. To retain anything like its original shape and energy, I can't work out what it could hit to come back in the direction of fire like that. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, paraphrasing newton. These bullets don't bounce. I would love to hear the explanation for how this happened.
