Do bullets really ricochet? Can they come straight back and hit the shooter? What do bullets do when they hit a metal plate? We've all seen photos of fired bullets that are deformed but intact. Yet, I have experienced shooting steel plates next to paper targets, and the paper targets being shreaded, apparently from the bullets hitting the steel and splatering. Not ricocheting or just deforming. What is your experiencing with ricocheting bullets?
