In another part of our forum there is a thread on ricochets. Here's a copy of one that's been around for a while now. Pretty amazing.

Wow, lucky it hit him in the ear muff or he coulda been dead. Wonder what they were shooting at to make a .50 ricochet that far?

There have been a number of threads on TFL about this. This one has a fair amount of information: http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=252921

Thanks!

Don,
Thanks for the link! I was not a member here back when that thread started so it was an interesting read! Hard to believe it it were not caught on film!

Good memory in remembering that older thread also.

Terry,

I knew the video had been posted before so I did a search using the URL as the search string.
