It sure didn't look fake to me.

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.
