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.

Shooting at ice, weird concept, I mean the part about ice being
outisde of ones freezer.
Yur not gonna get a 180 reflection of a bullet from liquid water, not
gonna happen.
Yes, being an optics guy, I know bout corner reflectors.
