Can't believe the bullet actually came straight back at him.... he must have hit directly centre of a dead straight target surely....
A very lucky man :-?

I have been target shooting for some years now... the first rule is never shoot at solids or liquids because the round will bounce off. For this reason shooting targets are made from paper and posted on a wooden stake, with a either sand ridge or wooden logs behind them to absorb the round.

Some disciplines use metal plates, but they are hinged and collapsible when hit (like those in a shooting booth in a fair) so no danger of bouncing rounds.

If these guys were shooting at a metal plate for a reason, e.g. testing military armour-piercing ammo etc, they should had done this from inside a bunker, which is how weapon manufacturers test their weapons.

Yup, bunch of amateurs....
