My son sent me this waste of time "Jackass" show like video.

Check out what the tire does when it gets hit by this bullet.

Notice the reaction time....none.....

YIKES!

Lesson learned...don't ever shoot a tire...

DISCLAIMER: Don't try this at home.

Sounds like the bullet ricocheted back at the shooter. There always have been curious target shooters that want to see what happens, and it will not stop. there is always a idiot out there that wants to prop up some armorplate from an aircraft or Tank and they find out that it shoots back. 35 years ago Robert Fornorf took a shot at some headrest armorplate from his F8F Bearcat and it nearly hit him, his plane finally did bite him at Quonset Point when it shed a wing at a July 4th airshow.

This stop action blow up from the above video shows how lucky this "Darwin Award Winner" really was.

The piece in the circle is what came off of the wheel. No small item.

It hit the ground first in the area of the right square.

Notice the pressure flare from the gun on the ground (in the left square)....that is how quickly this was back at him.

Lucky Bastard.....

The guy is lucky he is still around. Definately not like the movies shooting out the tires of speeding vehicles.
