Why?

Okay and?

He said a ricochet was possible and put an argument together with video examples and distance numbers. You haven’t done much except express disbelief, and that isn’t very convincing.

You said a ricochet at the correct angle to land in the baseball field would be impossible, and you asked me to draw the trajectory.

Honest question, why is this so hard to imagine? He posted this video, can you watch it and tell me what you think? https://youtu.be/0ABGIJwiGBc

I think we all know this was probably just redneck shit, no argument there.

I’m still not seeing any issue. A bullet can ricochet in any direction. The first thing @AlDente@sh.itjust.works posted was a video example of a bullet ricocheting directly backwards (nearly straight up I think?), then ricocheting again off the ground and into the shooter’s earmuff.

He showed enough examples and hard numbers for distance to convince me that this could be a freak accident. If you want to change my mind, you’re going to have to provide counterexamples. I’m even convinced that it could happen with many bullets in a row if the shooting was consistent.

I think he made a good case for it being possible. That baseball field really isn’t far away from a bullet’s perspective. He mentioned his first time shooting tracers, which makes me think he has a lot of real life experience shooting FMJ bullets and seeing them ricochet. He posted videos showing ricochets, you can see them maintaining almost all of their momentum.

I am pretty sure this is the gun range and you’re supposed to shoot in the direction of the blue arrow. That big mound of earth is where the targets would be and is supposed to catch stray bullets. Something tells me that redneck fuckery was involved.

Found it on Google maps, I think I was right.
