Don't the military use a depleated Uranuim round? The Barrett is made right down the road from me in Murfreesboro.

So if he were in war would that be a kill and a purple heart all in 1 shot? Just wondering

This fellow is not just unlucky, but he durn figgered a way to change the physics on projectiles. In the spirit of reality TV, some of these you-tubes are just meant as good fun, kinda like never letting the facts get in the way of a good show.




Ummm.. yeah, I don't think so. Looked 100% legit to me.

Another example of our having interfered with natural selection.


So freakish bad luck is interfering with natural selection?

very well said RTTT



I didn't understand RiseTTT's comment in the first place. They weren't risking much (just a couple of guys out shooting, they didn't know it would ricochet like that) and what's wrong with posting the video on Youtube after all was said and done?

I know (of) a kid near me who shot a magnum (not sure what kind) at a tin can on a metal pole, and had his arm grazed by the ricochet.

Six inches to the side and he'd be DEAD.

The same .50BMG vs. a kangaroo at 25yards would have been far more interesting to watch.

Hmmmmm....interesting. Isn't it amazing that the camera was focused on the guy and the area immediately in front of it rather than downrange? Gee, let's send this to youtube!
