Beautiful Green Range. Don't have to worry about Fire.

that is the coolist ricochet I have ever seen

[CellarDoorVI]

It happens a lot. People usually don't realize how much bullets ricochet unless they shoot tracers.

Even though in this video the bullets are hitting a bank, one still managed to ricochet. Watch a video where tracers are shooting at a more acute angle and the tracers fly in the air all over the place once they hit the ground.

[billson556]

Well, bullets usually don't ricochet, unless its a VERY large angle of deflection, and when they do, they slow WAY down becoming VERY weak, what U are seeing isn't bullets being deflected, but the tracing compound separating from the bullet, which is common in all calibers!!! ;)

[sigmasquadleader]

It's still considered a ricochet if it moves a foot after hitting the target.

Just like it's still over-penetration if the bullet exits the body.

Watching miniguns fire with tracers every 4-5 rounds confirms that they ricochet, it's not JUST the compound becoming detached.

[billson556]

Well, U are right, but tracers are much longer than the standard rounds in the same caliber, and in the same twist rate barrel, are much less stable than ordinary ball bullets... and so more likely to stray from their original course of flight.....

[jumper801]

Could be angles, targets, or rounds, or a combination of the above but, I wouldnt want to be on the receiving end of your slow moving weak energy theory. I've seen people hit with the non-tracing part of the bullet after it fragmented and ricocheted from a steel target.

[SniperAce016]

It's interesting that there was a test conducted I read about in an advanced firearms ballistics book. This test was to see how much a bullet loses its velocity after deflecting off of water at a steep angle. They used a .22 LR 36 grain bullet with 1280 ft/s at the muzzle. They deflected it off of water and the remaining velocity was 1230 fps ! The bullet only lost 50 ft/s ! Bullets do NOT become weak after deflecting off a target. Remember shoot safely !

nice

Nothing wrong with alittle recreational shooting.

[themanwhoknew]

So this is what you do with your saturday's off NG lol

[BigFuzzyKitten]

[sigmasquadleader]

All the videos in his favorites literally say stuff like gay and dick.

[mitercut]

hmm musta been tannerite, hey ever started a fire with those rounds?

[CellarDoorVI]

I don't know what the tracer agent was. Also, I don't know the point of origin, all I know is that it was distributed by Portugal and labeled 62gr (in English), but I weighed the bullets and they are actually 68gr. But no, I've never started a fire with them.

[sigmasquadleader]

Labeled 62gr, because I believe the bullet ends up at that weight after the tracer has burned. It's most likely phosphorous, or another easily ignited metal.
