    Counter examples to what? You’re saying that someone shot down that range and it ricocheted directly back into the baseball field? Like what’s the argument here? That’s the problem I’m having you and the other guy, or your alt I’m not sure, haven’t made any arguments about the feasibility of a Ricochet from that range going to that field. Which we know didn’t happen by the way. That’s not even in question. But even the possibility you haven’t given any evidence for. You’re arguing that ricochets can happen. Which is not the argument.

    My example is basic geometry and basic physics. Learn how angles work dude I don’t know. Learn that bullets can’t turn 45° in midair. What are you arguing. Trace the line for me. Trace the line from down the range back around the dirt embankments and toward the field.

      He said a ricochet was possible and put an argument together with video examples and distance numbers. You haven’t done much except express disbelief, and that isn’t very convincing.

      You said a ricochet at the correct angle to land in the baseball field would be impossible, and you asked me to draw the trajectory.

      Honest question, why is this so hard to imagine? He posted this video, can you watch it and tell me what you think? https://youtu.be/0ABGIJwiGBc

      I think we all know this was probably just redneck shit, no argument there.

        You did notice that wasn’t a straight line you just drew right?

        Also you’re very obsessed with those videos he posted. I’ve seen them before they’re not new videos. I’ve shot a 50 caliber before. I’ve had ricochets bounce back at me before. I’m not quite sure why he chose a 50 caliber for his example by the way it’s an absurd example to use. The reason I don’t talk about them much is because they’re irrelevant. No one’s arguing that ricochet’s don’t occur. Third time I’ve had to say that.
