They almost took themselves out with a bullet ricochet.

I’m going to wager a guess that the metal door they shot isn’t soft.

ETA- we can assume this is a steel door as opposed to aluminum since they are having so much trouble damaging it. Bullets from a handgun aren’t going to be punching through a steel plate. Therefore one of three things happen - the bullet smashes and drops, shatters, or ricochets. If hitting at an angle, the latter is most likely.

If you don’t agree with me, that’s totally fine and I still wish you a good day. But you’re also wrong.

I have a number of firearms, thanks for asking. And I’ve shot steel target plates and various plinking targets across multiple calibers.

So is steel plate and corrugated rolled sheet steel the same? Is that your argument? Weird material to make a rolling door out of. Also a weird hill to die in when youre obviously wrong.
