That man is one lucky Hombre If that projectile was a couple inches over he'd be dead. I showed my son the clip as it makes for a good warning in the use of firearm safety especially when blinking at hard targets. I've always wondered how many men have fallen in combat due to ricochets. My grandfather was camped somewhere just outside London during the Bombing Blitz, he brought home bits of shrapnel and spent bullets which he said were falling around them after a big raid. I remember him also commenting on shell cases raining down during dog fights over head. You wouldn't want to be knocked down on the ground by one of your own fighter planes would you!!!
