Cool write up. Ricochet bullets can't travel that far, and it's the wrong direction.

I've already posted a video of a complete trajectory reversal. Maybe you didn't watch it, but otherwise you're being stubbornly ignorant choosing to completely ignore video evidence. Also, a 1/2 mile really isn't far for something moving over 3000 ft/s. It's clear you're not speaking from an educated position on this topic.

Firstly, it's reported that the shots weren't from the gun range. Second; have you seen the overhead view of the range? What exactly do you think the bullets could be bouncing off of at that range? Your thought process is just silly.
