Listen to the comments... "no more iron". Sounds like they were shooting at an iron plate. Not sure what came back and hit him though... They didn't show what hit him so it could have been something else that came back.
I remember getting tagged by bbs coming back from shooting the rounded bottom ends of soda cans...

Whatever it was it hit the ground around 8-10 feet in front of him before bouncing up and hitting his hearing protectors. look at the video at :20 to see the dirt get kicked up.

you'll shoot your eye out!
:rofl
had that happen many a time in the past shooting stuff i shouldn't have with a BB gun.
just a few times was enough to say "don't shoot at that" LOL
I did have glasses my whole life basically (plastic lenses) so I wasn't too worried about the direct eye richoet other than my mother getting mad at buying me new glasses form the scratched lens :lol
-
They sounded like they were going to keep shooting after that.
Christ, if that happened to me, I'd call it a day, buy a nice bottle of scotch on the way home, and 10 dollars worth of powerball tickets.

what? you guys never had bb gun wars?
-
Would the bullet or a fragment of it make that sort of noise? It definitely is going pretty slow, sounds like it could be about 1/3 the speed the bullet takes to hit it's target.
-
People way underestimate the ability of bullets to come back one way or the other. You take a trip to Knob Creek and watch the night shoot once and you'll understand just how frequently stuff does come back to the firing line and .50 cal. bullets seem to be the best at doing it.
-
You should never shoot at metal targets that are not perfectly flat and have no bullet indentations.

Also never shoot at steal that doesn't move. 50 bmg does have that bounce back tendency.
Anytime your shooting steel make sure that it will give our angle the target. Its safe to shoot steal with lead bullets its the fmj ones that will get ya.

LOL we used to do that--Daisy Red Ryder was perfect--wear heavy jacket and a pair of shades...if ya had a pump gun, 2 pumps were allowed. I STILL have that Red Ryder, since 1970 or so

jeans jackets and shades were the uniform of the day for bb gun wars. we also rode our bicycles without helmets and barefooted too.

I guess that explains the dain bramage, missing toes, and bad eyesight :rofl

We added bottle rockets and roman candles as 'mortar fire'.
God those were the days...

I used to make a mortar. Take a steel pipe larger enough for a shotgun shell to easily slide through. Use empty used shotgun shells, put a small hole in the shell near the base of it. Insert a fuse from a firecracker in the hole add about a half teaspoon of black powder to the interior of the shell making sure to cover the fuse of the firecracker and tamp with foil. Set a fuse in it and place the shotgun shell sticking base up in the pipe. Aim the pipe and light the fuse. The shell goes whump, zing! out of the pipe with the firecracker now lit. It hits downrange and the firecracker blows up.
:D

I was stupid enough to shoot at a ½ inch piece of steel 90 degree inside corner; now that’s stupid! It’s pretty much guaranteed to produce a billiard style corner bounce and come back at ya. My friend was standing behind me; we both were peppered by either shredded lead or jacket from the .308. I’m guessing a main chunk held together and zipped past us. It’s just another episode in how I could have killed myself by my own stupidity.

we used to drill out co2 cartridges and fill them with black powder and wax in a waterproof fuse, they were great for catching lots of bream in a hurry.

ah yes, the old "two pumps only rule". Which lasted about 10 frickn' minutes and led to all out bloodshed:furious
I still have scars from the fireworks wars, those were the days indeed Diablo.:aok

When I was about 7 or 8 I got a single shot .22LR. One day I got the bright idea of trying to capture one of the bullets for examination after impact. My first subject was a small oak tree behind the house. I loaded and then carefully pointed my rifle about 2 inches from the tree and gently squeezed the trigger.
It was like everything went into slow motion with a distorted echo like you see in the movies. The bang of the rifle and simultaniously a sharp pain in my stomach and then slowly zooming back into realtime. I stumbled backwards several steps while slumping to the ground.
I suddenly realised what I had done. In my stupidity I had shot myself with my own gun. The bullet had ricochetted off the tree and hit me! I began to shake. I felt cold and wanted to vomit. My heart raced 90MPH. Slowly, I reached up with my hand and felt the wound. I looked down at my hand and it was covered in nothing.
Huh?
There was no blood, not a drop. I looked at my stomach... no guts hanging out, no blood spurting, nothing. No life flashing in front of my eyes, zip, nada, zilch. I pulled up my shirt and all I saw was a bright red spot above my belly button.
What happened was a piece of bark had flown off the tree and hit me. It didn't have enough velocity to penetrate, but it had enough to leave a good sting and a dose of reality. That brought a halt to my ballistics experiments for a while.
