Yeah, millions of times.

About 27 years or so ago I went rock climbing in Wales, England.  The cliffs were on the ocean and there was a crashed aircraft at the base.  I was told that it was the remains of a crashed Spitfire that was used as a straffing target during the war.  
Naturally, I just HAD to go down and take a closer look.  I couldn't tell if it was really a Spit, since there wasn't much left of it after sitting there for so many years....but I found hundreds if not thousands if spent bullets all around the area.  
They looked to be about .30 cal and there were quite a few that were stuck to each other and many more that were distorted in a fashion that looked like it had been hit by another bullet.  I think it was all just from them hitting other spent bullets that were already there.

To answer your question though....yes, it's theoretically possible but very unlikely to happen....especially on purpose.

Go take a field trip to Gettysburg museum and Civil War park in Pennsylvania.  Lots of evidence of bullets colliding in mid air between sides.

If what you meant was with this game?  Depends whether it is possible if the programmers allow it, I would think.

Two bullets hitting each other, head on, would disintigrate.


However, you can put two civil war minie balls in a vice, press them together and make an interesting tourist souvenir.

Yes they fused two mini balls that were made outa pure lead. Two modern bullets would disentagrate if they hit headon.

And I dont think its coaded into the game.

I think there was a case in the Civil war where to bullets met perpendicularly and they made something like an X or something. Not sure if it was real or not.

You all think the bullets would impact. With the sharp conical point on the bullets unless they hit the 1 in a 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance that the points would PERFECTLY balance, they'll just glance off eac others' sloped sides.

Thats only for FMJ bullets. What if two cannons, or a cannon and a FMJ hit?

I've seen pix of a recovered F6F,the pilot had bailed,guns were jammed.
 They recovered some ammo from the wing and 1 of the 50cal rounds had been hit by 7.7 mm fire,this caused the round to explode and jam the guns.

Maybe not exactly what you were asking for but it looked cool:aok
