One Lucky Dude....???
I got this as an email so decided to check it out. There's rumor goin' round that it's a hoax. Looks and sounds real to me.
You decide......

I have seen that before. It may be real I have experienced that with .556 rounds at a 100yds. except it hit me in the shin and hurt like hell. That was only 55gr not that rock that he launched down range.

I have seen this before as well. The shot is from a .50 BMG. I agree it looks real to me, the guy's reaction looks natural. If that bullet was an inch or two lower, that guy would be dead.

A .50 BMG round is typically between 600 and 750 grs or almost 2 ounces, it has a muzzle velocity approaching 3000 fps and produces a muzzle energy of almost 14,000 ft lbs. Having shot this round many times, I can tell you it is an MONSTER of a round and one that could injure someone if thrown hard enough.

I have an all stock S&W .50 cal five shot revolver. I think it's real. Their muzzle velocity is incredible. However, the gun is more tame to shoot than my Ruger Super Blackhawk. Smith really did their homework on that gun.
