Sound on.
Physics lesson. Lucky man.
Turn your sound up..........so you can hear the bullet head back.
This guy is shooting a 50 cal rifle. Watch the dust when he fires.
The target is a steel plate,1000 yards (.57 miles, 10 foot ball fields)
away.
You can hear the ping of the hit and then hear the bullet
coming back. It hits the ground just in front of him, then bounces up,
hits the earmuffs, knocking them from his head. The footage is amazing.
If you haven't heard a ricochet before, you can hear the bullet as it
tumbles through the air on its course back toward the shooter.
For those of you that wish to, consider the probability the bullet hitting
the ground in exactly the right place to bounce up at the correct
trajectory angle to hit his ear protection, not over, or under them.
Fortunately the tumble, or the angle of the plate he was shooting at changed the return course of the bullet by 6 inches "left" over half a mile's worth of travel distance (right eye dominant sighting - left ear-cup impact).
Otherwise, it would have been a "return one hop head shot", instead of an
earphone shot.

The one at just before 9 minutes that had the ball on her tummy looks like she crapped herself when I hit.

Well either it is fake or the target was not 1,000 yards out (which would explain the richochet, the time was too short.
Plus it doesn't loook like he is aiming high enough for the bullet drop for that distance.
It it was a lot closer then I can believe the richochet story but the 1,000 yard part is false which leads me to my conclusion.
This is how long it takes for the bullet to hit a 1,000 yard target, compare that with the OP video.

Not sure about guns/bullets (from england here..) but I think they move faster than the speed of sound(?) so in that video the sound of the hit is actually a good time after it actually hits the target?
So could this also mean the bullet in the original video would travel back faster than the sound even at 1000yards?
EDIT} After rewatching the first video I hear that the sound of the initial hit of the target comes a lot sooner. So hyper is right it's way shorter than 1000yrd.
