That's about as closest I've ever seen a guy come to winning a Darwin but
walking away without the award.

It was nasty......

You think that was the round, or something sent aloft by the round?

Not entirely certain, but the noise prior to the impact had me wondering
if maybe this was staged. Wuld a returning projectile make that sort of
whistling sound? Anyone here have a .50 cal and can experiment and
report back?


JUST KIDDING! Do not attempt, go boating instead!!!

I can't speak to a BMG round, but I've heard .50 cal black powder
rounds ricochet like that. It just depends on how the round distorts
when it initially deforms.

Probably a stone kicked up - I don't think it was the round or he'd be
dead even with a distorted bullet.

I found a pic years ago of a lucky Vietnam air-crewman.
It's over there with subject 'RICOCHET".
