Prolly more shock than anything it happened.. I can't figure out how he got a riccochet on a 50cal.. firing at what looks like a dirt hill, that far distance, and for it to come almost directly back...
The odds of that are wow...

REFLUX
Was it the bullet that came back or something else?

SilverNeonRacer
Based off the word riccochet.. I'm guessing the bullet, but who knows... video's not high enough quality to do any csi type shit

I can see it happenning, it would be very rare, but possible. When I was competing in action handgun shooting very competetively, I managed to catch a full 38 slug riccochet back in the chest. Yes it really hurt, but it didn't break the skin, but left a bruise on the sternum that lasted for about 3 weeks. I also caught a 45 slug back in the shin. Now understand that when I was competing I probably shot in the neighbourhood of between 300,000 and 400,000 rounds in a period of about 8 years. (Yes those are correct numbers) When the bullet comes back it has lost so much energy that it usually doesn't impart deadly energy.

a .50 cal would go trought pretty anything you would find. It goes trough pretty thick armour, as we found out in afghanistan.... So the only way it wouldhave riccochet would be on a rock, and even then it better be one strong rock. From experience i think it higly unlikely that a .50 would come back right at you....
