She did a good job on the sandbags. That's very little visible recoil for a .50 caliber AR-50. Kudos, ma'am! Well, I’ve got to hand it to Tina. She did a good job on the sandbags.

There is a puff of smoke just ahead of him, must have ricocheted off the ground as well(?). If so, then the angle from the ground to his head might be somewhat similar to the angle before hitting the ground, indicating it returned in a big arc. The whistling sound must be the bullet returning end-over end. But why didn't it just collapse at the plate? Maybe the target plate had some spring to it?? Or more than 1 richochet was involved? Speculation. RBG I would never have believed a bullet could bounce straight back like that. There is a puff of smoke just ahead of him, must have ricocheted off the ground as well(?).

I put a smiley at the end... Besides... It's from MadOgre dot com... It isn't like Bob Woodward wrote the piece. Some hick shot himself in the head and his buddies are so dumb that they think it'll make a funny post. And it is funny, if you aren't one of the bumblefucks who should be embarrassed by being in the video. Who is Tina? Wait 12 years and you can meet her at the Double D Gentleman's Club out by Route 6 and Mine Shaft Road. #8 – Hey man… I put a smiley at the end… Besides… It’s from MadOgre dot com… It isn’t like Bob Woodward wrote the piece.

Where I come from having the slug pierce the steel plate would be considered an "expected" event. Having it bounce back in your direction would generally fall into the "unlucky" category, regardless of the final outcome. Rare indeed is getting hit in the head with something considered lucky.

I mean, if they said "...father of Lady Diana", that would mean something. Who gives a shit who made the damned sand bags? As the lead sentence in the story, I would expect Tina to be somebody, besides being an amateur seamstress who can sew together some canvas sacks.
