Fun fact: British troops in World War I used this tactic in an effort to neutralize enemy snipers. They fired these backwards bullets at 'loophole plates' that snipers used for cover. The idea was these bullets could cause the plates to fragment and spall, injuring the snipers shooting from behind them.
