When I started to put this shot together old training days were not at the forefront of my mind. By the end, a lot of memories and important information had moved straight to the front burner.
As shooters we like to avoid the Ricochet. For this shot I created a controlled environment but in the real world things can turn terribly bad with an errant shot.
Shooting environments dictate the severity of a flyer.
At the range; a miss is a miss.
LEO in the City; a miss or through shot will continue like a stone skipping across a pond just looking for collateral.
A majority of CQB situations occur where absorbent materials are the norm. Buildings with drywall and wood or soft plastics. Some places dirt is the primay material. In box shaped rooms you're generally shooting 90° to a wall. Hallways in larger building are another story. The angles flatten and the danger increases.
What the Ricochet really brought me back to was Ships. Shooting inside a tin can is a recipe for disaster. Stay off the wall. Pistol or shotgun were the choice of tools for that job. Anyone sending a round traveling 3000' per second was just asking for a donkey punch.
The fight was from knee knocker to knee knocker. Short distances where angles were everything. .. and bounding.
An egg would be a fair representation of the Human eye. The results from this video would be a high percentage fatality.
Off on a bit of a ride there but some of these shots have unique resemblances to Charlie Actual.
I'll reel myself back in here. Hope ya'll like the shot!
