        Mythbusters managed to replicate that not too long ago- pretty neat

          If you want change you have to put in your 2 cents, you can't just sit on the sidelines and whine.

              IIRC there was a many-page thread on this video a few months ago on CGN, and there were users that to this day swear they faked the video somehow. For some reason they couldn't get it into their heads that 1. a bullet spins something like 50,000 rpm and it can continue to spin after it hits something. And 2. A bullet can hit something as giving as ice and not deform beyond recognition.

              Their arguments were that ice is so hard the copper and lead should have flattened and that once a bullet hits something it stops spinning. Again .

                  I noticed how one bullet was found behind the people. Notice how Mythbusters were so faraway?

                  On a side note, I have an x-ray of a richochet bullet that has only slight deformation of the tail...

                    I saw that mythbusters episode, and I would have bet anything that it wasn't possible. It was definitely amazing to watch.

                        Yep I called BS too. Never would have though that was possible.

                          One of the few episodes of Mythbusters where I didn't envy their job. What they went through to replicate this myth looked brutal.
