Question

i was wonder because on this tv show the were shoooting and it bbounced back and hit the car not the shooter how so

i cant spelll so srry

Answer 1

The bullet would have to strike something that would cause the bullet to bounce straight back in order for the shooter to be hit. Normally the bullet will strike something at an angle. When the bullet hits, the object it hits absorbs energy from the bullet. The greater the angle, the less energy is absorbed. Example, if you are shooting across water, the bullet might strike at a 175 degree angle, little energy is absorbed by the water and the bullet will travel very far after hitting the water. If the bullet strikes pavement at 45 degrees, half of the energy will be absorbed by the pavement, and will not travel much farther after hitting the pavement. If the bullet hits a concrete wall at 90 degrees, all of the energy is absorbed by the wall, the bullet has no energy left to ricochet back to the shooter. If the wall were made of rubber, the wall would absorb all of the energy, but because of the elastic properties of rubber, the rubber would transfer some of the energy back to the bullet, and throw the bullet back to the shooter. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Sometimes they do, there's a lot of places it can go and all the most likely are away from the shooter. But shooting steel plates at short range for combat sports will often result in some metal hitting the shooter.

Answer 3

well the return from a gun shot is usually per deflection,so on most things it is deflected in another direction, except with very thick strong steel targets like 3/4 inch plate or so and small it will deflect directly back to the gun,and the other seems to be water,
it has been known to come back and hit the shooter from water also, this one i cant figure out but found it in hunting classes and various warnings of shooting near or in water, i simply havent gotten an understanding on that one yet, but the steel thing i can understand, when the power and velocity of the bullitt isnt enough to penatrate the plate it will simply cause it to return the energy back to the striker( the bullitt) and it is returned to the gun with little variation from the original direction,when slight angles are added and curves to the target this cause a hard deflection of the bullitt and it goes in another direction,but when struck head one, it can be sent right back to the gun.

Answer 4

Because the projectile is travelling AWAY from the shooter.

Answer 5

do you mean ricochet because when bullet hits solid usually just skips off the other way

Answer 6

in filming movies blanks are used with small harmless explosives for the camera and the sound is usually 'dubbed in'
