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’m still not seeing any issue. A bullet can ricochet in any direction. The first thing @[email protected] 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.
