Saw it a while back, but that guy is so lucky. Just goes to show why you shouldn't shoot targets which might fight back.

wouldn't the bullet have to ricochet multiple times? because i can't see the bullet magically turning around. Which makes this even more unlikely. and lucky on his part.

I would think that you count on one hand the people in this world that have been hit by a .50 cal round, get up dust themselves off and go home :o

I believe you! Ricochets happen all the time. Just that was a 38, at close range, not a 50 at 100 yards.
It sounded like they were hitting different targets to see the power, and shot at iron, causing it to come back. At the end you can hear them say "Lets not use iron again."

Yeah it has to be common ,what really confuse me is a .50 its tripods its too small ,I've seen it I got one as my key holder for more than ,JeZZ! 30 years  :o wasn't realize that , and its too powerfull bullet and above all the size where the powder is ,is like 20cm large, and  ::) ::) Only Rambo and Arnold can hold it with its bear hard  ;D

maybe I'm an ignorant but only huge tripods or warrior planes f-16-18-22 etc can hold and shoot this type of giant bullets who can pass thru a truck intact from the front to the end and maybe continue with 3 or 4 more cars before stop..but I can wrong  :-/
18Cm large  :o
