Long story short i wound up in the hospital and i finally came back home and wanted to know your stories so i wouldn't feel like complete shit.

>At IDPA match at an indoor range.
>Was chilling behind the firing line, waiting my turn, talking to some other guys, back to the targets. All of a sudden feel something bounce off the backplate of my GoPro head mount.
>A sliver of 9mm ricocheted and hit me in the back of my head.
All I got. I was completely unscathed.

>Bang, "ow!"
>What what what?
>I think I just got hit
>Turns out the round hit the back wall then hit the shooter
>Nothing but a bruise.
>Everyone is okay

You should post a picture of your wound
have 10/22, think .22's are half a step above pellet guns
on the patio of parents place, they've got a stone patio
movie ricochets are bullshit
decide to shoot stone patio about a foot infront of me
>hold my beer
bullet fragment went through my denim and left a small bruise on my leg about halfway up my shin
overall not a smart thing. But the overall lesson was don't shoot rocks at your feet with a .22. duh.

I guess there was a rock somewhere in the dirt and roots that deflected the shot. Punched through my Vietnam milsurp coat and T-shirt. Drew a small amount of blood but nothing that lasted more then a day or two. Still surprised a .22LR packs that much punch on a direct reverse trajectory. Pic related, still got the bullet sitting in a drawer back home some where.
nogunz here
how deadly are ricochets?
Planning on getting into firearms soon.

They kill at least 12 people every time a firing range is opened.

Agreed
>>29395058
whats the term for when so many bullets get fired into a backstop that they start piling on top of each other and eventually cause ricochets? i've heard it before but since forgotten.

The only time I've ever had anything come back at me again was at a pistol combat shoot, someone hit the top deflector on the target carrier and a deformed bullet came back and left a gash in the leather on my boot.
