I think whatever it was they were shooting at shattered and a piece flew back at him.

It had to be a piece of what he was shooting at the 50 cal bullet would have ended up burried in the dirt wall or something

Yea, had to be a part of his target. I bet that knot that grew on his head won't no goose egg either. Had to gone strait to ostrich egg. Hope he went to see a doctor, cause I definatly heard a thunk. And it won't him thunkin' he should of picked a different target either. lol

Taint funny...really, he could of been seriously injured. Really, it aint funny.

From the wine and my experience with guns I am gonna say that was a 720 grain 50 cal ricochet coming back at 2900 fps. Lucky his head didnt POP like a watermelon on concrete

I would doubt that it was the round on the riccochet. From the video the target was not that far off. A 50 cal would have gone far into that hillside and is not comming back.
It is possible that this is a modified Barrett M82 which fires the round, but still wouldn't bounce back. I suspect that this was a pice of rock or other shrapnel that came back on entry.

Now, for really cool machine guns.......MK19. Nothing like a belt fed grenade launching machine gun.......Hoorah

That was def a piece of the target coming back at him . If you listen closely you can hear it whistling on the way towards him .
