    • DrKickflip13, on 07/02/2008, -4/+96A lot of times in injury / near death situations you try to think of something funny to say to calm people around you down. Your brain is so much in shock that you usually say something stupid. Don't call him a dumb ass, I'll shoot you in the ear and see the witty comment you come up with.
      • BoonTobias, on 07/02/2008, -25/+2dude, calm down
        i shoot that gun everyday and cleared up my barracks many times, it's no big deal
      • seventoes, on 07/03/2008, -0/+9Somebody give BoonTobias a cookie.
      • DrKickflip13, on 07/03/2008, -1/+4idk, one of my friends fell off a trampoline and slammed his head on the ground. We all rushed to see if he was ok and he was like "Ain't that just the darnedest thing" and we all cracked up.
    • richardhenry, on 07/03/2008, -8/+3Oh, willies!

      (Who says that?!)
    • doople, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Haha, the way I see it, that was a one-in-a-million ricochet. One down, fire away!
    • GDOG5, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1NO WAY! As if you wouldn't do it again!
  • guillebravo6, on 07/02/2008, -36/+1that must of hurt!
  • screwtheman, on 07/02/2008, -5/+118From the original poster: "6-27-07: BOOM HEADSHOT! This is amazing. Willie, the father of Tina, who made the sandbag rests fires a .50BMG, an Armalite AR-50 and it ricochets off of a steel plate that it should have easily penetrated. The bullet comes straight back and hits him in the head. You can see it hit the dirt about 15 feet in front on him before it clobbers him. Luckily he was uninjured. He's a bit sore today, but otherwise fine. Lucky lucky bastard. He has been advised to buy lottery tickets while he still has so much luck. I don't know about the timing, but you can hear the hit on the steel plate. Time that till the impact on Willie's head... how fast is that 750 grain slug traveling? The range is 100 yards. Amazing."
    • AngusMustang, on 07/02/2008, -16/+13"Ya, I was shooting at a steel plate. It -shoulda- penetrated."

      Think there was any alcohol involved in this decision?
      • noahhoward, on 07/02/2008, -0/+21Uh.. no. Plenty of rounds should be able to penetrate steel and it is a pretty common test to put arms through.
      • macaddct1984, on 07/02/2008, -0/+19A .50 caliber rifle like that is more than capable of shooting through steel.

        "Fired from single-shot or semiautomatic rifles, it exits the muzzle at about 3,000 feet per second, has an effective range of 7,500 yards -- or more than four miles -- and at interim distances can do a stupendous amount of damage.

        Firing at 200 yards, he put a .50-caliber bullet clear through the one-inch rolled steel used on most armored military vehicles, then through a three-and-a-half-inch-thick cast-iron manhole cover, and finally through a piece of three-quarter-inch bullet-resistant glass. Using a semiautomatic rifle, he also fired 10 rounds in rapid succession completely through a 600-pound safe. "
      • macaddct1984, on 07/02/2008, -0/+4That is from:
        http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940 ...

        It's an excellent article about these kinds of rifles
    • SoCalChris, on 07/02/2008, -0/+16I saw an explanation of this, complete with a diagram on a gun forum that I'm on. I can't find it right now, but I'll post it if I find it later.

      The steel sheet was at about a 45 degree angle. The bullet hit the sheet, and ricocheted up at an angle, still headed away from the shooter. At the top of the hill, it hit a rock, at which point it ricocheted back down, hit the ground in front of him, and then hit his ear muff.

      The real interesting thing about this video to me is the shock wave created by the initial shock. Watch the dust on the ground when he first shoots.
      • Mier, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1I wonder if his round also wasn't hot enough to penetrate but the steel at an angle makes perfect sense. I'd like to see that forum post with diagram.
      • BoneheadFarker, on 07/02/2008, -0/+16That is one magic bullet...
      • screensnot, on 07/03/2008, -0/+30Second shooter.
      • Vorin, on 07/03/2008, -0/+8Back, and to the left.
      • arjie, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3Ah, so the Roadrunner escaped again.
    • Evi1d33d, on 07/03/2008, -2/+3He gets a flaming helmet from Bungie.
  • temporaryescape, on 07/02/2008, -2/+76top shelf camera work, we all wanted to see his khaki shorts in detail.

    *takes the shot, leans over to pick up his beer*
    dead.
  • Pizzini3000, on 07/02/2008, -18/+4Misleading title, but fairly accurate. Dugg for being diggworthy.
    • Goblin, on 07/02/2008, -3/+22Wait. The title is accurate AND misleading?
      • pyro789x, on 07/02/2008, -2/+7Consider the title "Man's balls get hit" for a video of somebody punching a man's tennis balls.
  • mcool119, on 07/02/2008, -2/+47What the hell did that ricochet off of?
    • NCecil, on 07/02/2008, -0/+19From the post above, and from the end of the video (a guy said "yep, no more iron"), it sounds like they were trying to shoot through a steel/ iron plate.
    • paulmer2003, on 07/02/2008, -16/+1The ground? Consider the weight of the bullet vs the weight of the ground. lol.

      Same reason you shouldn't shoot at a body of water.
      • slim5234, on 07/02/2008, -0/+12I have considered the weight of both yet I fail to understand your point.
      • samssf, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1mass =/= weight =/= density
      • MechaFalcon, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2If you watched Mythbusters, you would have known that firing at water will blow the bullet into pieces and not be able to hit anything deeper than one or two feet.
    • SkippyDoorknob, on 07/02/2008, -3/+15His head!
    • PabloMac, on 07/02/2008, -1/+3A rock, perhaps?
    • screensnot, on 07/03/2008, -2/+10In order:

      rock

    • ginogrz, on 07/03/2008, -1/+3It had to have been quite an insane object to turn a .50 caliber in the complete opposite direction.

      • lpcustom, on 07/03/2008, -1/+2Actually in another digg post of this same video a few months back that wasn't in there. So no it's not one of the recent string of viral marketing videos.

    • Fishn2, on 07/02/2008, -4/+44If he had killed himself, I bet the guy with the camera would have been hoping he didn't have martyrdom on.
      • richofsilence, on 07/02/2008, -9/+2LOL to these comments!

      • Cloud7654, on 07/03/2008, -1/+10Cod 4. I hear its some type of fish.
      • Disease, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1I call hax. He wasn't even aiming at himself. Where's admin?
      • FLarsen, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1He hasn't been watching the server the last 2000 years.
    • Yookji, on 07/02/2008, -3/+32He would have died if he had stopping power.
    • noots, on 07/02/2008, -12/+1how can he be playing CoD4? he is aiming.
      • BoonTobias, on 07/02/2008, -1/+8does anyone want to take this ^ kill or should I knife him?
      • noots, on 07/03/2008, -5/+4sorry, but COD4 is just a random mess of lameness.

        CoD4 is a lesson on how to ruin an excellent MP formula (vCod and CoD2) they dumbed it down, ruined hitboxes, added airstrikes + helicopters to encourage camping and made it as easy as hell.

        the competitive scene has had to disable the majority of the unbalanced weapons and perks to even give it a chance.

        and lets not get started on "hardcore" mode.
      • Hananda, on 07/03/2008, -3/+3When you use a phrase like "the competitive scene" when talking about a video game, it's time to step back, take a look at the bigger picture, and become filled with self-loathing. That or find a game you enjoy.
      • noots, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3not really... Competitive online gaming is huge, and is a testament to how good the game actually is. I don't play competitively but i'm not ignorant to it's existence.

        the fact that little had to be changed with CoD1 CoD2 yet with CoD4 they've had to disable 70% of the things proves the game has too much stupid ***** piled onto it.

        everyone treats online FPS competitivly to some degree, that's the point, you're lying if you don't.

    • thetenthlisten, on 07/03/2008, -3/+10The guy was definitely using Iron Lungs..
    • Pillage, on 07/03/2008, -3/+1should have put an ACOG on it

  • wulfstein, on 07/02/2008, -1/+153"It got you right in the side of your head."

    "Where did it hit?"

    "Right in the side of my head!"

  • aserer511, on 07/02/2008, -3/+25THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR TK'ING!!!
  • leerayIG88, on 07/02/2008, -9/+1why wasn't he wearing a helmet?
    • Pstall, on 07/02/2008, -1/+8Because no one wears a helmet when target shooting? Also a helmet would of done nothing to protect against a .50 cal round.
    • lbdinh, on 07/02/2008, -0/+12Because he didn't plan on getting shot in the head while shooting the other way.
  • weeczar, on 07/02/2008, -3/+74You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!
  • hotpuck6, on 07/02/2008, -8/+2looks more like it hit his head gear than his head.
    earmuff /= head.
  • androothebear, on 07/02/2008, -3/+12can i get a "HOLY *****!" That guy is outrageously lucky...
    • DrKickflip13, on 07/02/2008, -8/+4Don't you mean outrageously UNlucky? What are the chances of that happening you idiot?

  • eatasandwich, on 07/02/2008, -8/+2Wait!...I've changed my mind. I'm on Heston's side now.
  • 3amboo, on 07/02/2008, -2/+20"We're not doing that again..." "NOPE NO MORE!"
  • Kenzan, on 07/02/2008, -8/+1Snickerdoodle!
  • judicar, on 07/02/2008, -7/+3I've seen this before and the physics just don't make sense, how can it richochet *straight* back, I would think the steepest angle would be 90 degrees.
    • Pstall, on 07/02/2008, -0/+8It did not richochet straight back... it hit the ground then flew up and hit him.
    • trispear, on 07/02/2008, -0/+5On the way back, it looks like it hit the ground in front of him a little and then bounced up to him.
    • rpi22, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2NOPE! it arced upwards and then hit the ground 10 feet in front of him, then it bounced and clipped his head
    • upnortherik, on 07/02/2008, -3/+22Actually, the bullet hit the steel plate he was aiming for and ricocheted upwards into the hill behind and above the target, at which point it hit a rock, ricocheted off the ground in front of him and then what you see.
      • screensnot, on 07/03/2008, -1/+6Erik gets a cookie.

        I don't know why you are being dugg down.
      • Shivalyn, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Aha, so that's where the two bullets came from.
    • CosmicJustice, on 07/03/2008, -9/+1It's fake. It takes way too long to come back.
      • Vorin, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3"Fired from single-shot or semiautomatic rifles, it exits the muzzle at about 3,000 feet per second, has an effective range of 7,500 yards"

        If you watch the vid, it takes very little time for the round to hit the steel, but about another second for it to hit a rock, the ground, and then the earmuff. That round had a nice trip between the steel and the earmuff, but that doesn't make it fake.
  • jjcyber, on 07/02/2008, -12/+1Lol, buried as inaccurate. Guy did not become an hero.
    • WallnutBoy, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Learn to separate digg.com and 4chan.org, I do it quite fine -_-
  • 0biKwiet, on 07/02/2008, -12/+1That's so unbelievably improbable I have to say it's probably fake.

  • bmxxxxxxxx, on 07/02/2008, -6/+1His name is Willy...

      Angle of incidence ain't got ***** to do with this at all.
  • chadillak, on 07/02/2008, -2/+10my earmuff hurts.
  • bigsteve3OOO, on 07/02/2008, -12/+7careful making fun of him he got shot in the head and just stood up and did not die. He is one tough SOB. and he has guns. and you are making fun of him.

  • Ford_Prefect2nd, on 07/02/2008, -4/+2I am not so certain it wasn't the shell ejecting from the weapon... it may have been a Rochette, but that quite the change in direction for such a large caliber.
