Although a bullet will bounce at a shallow angle from water or sand, I
doubt it is possible for a 180 degree bounce to happen. OK, it is
"possible" but it is probably more likely you will get hit by a
meteorite twice.


Think corner reflector, it takes a double bounce from a 90 degree
angle.


Geez, it's like nobody here ever shot some pool.
If you can make it bounce, you can do anything.
