Well bugger me! I always have considered a ricochet could not come back to the point of origin, but you have just corrected me.
Gau Gattiling guns are where it's at thats for sure.
Some of the ordanance for the GAU-8 costs over $30us/round .... work that out at 4000 rounds/minute.
The can also go through a tonne of ammo in a few short minutes.
Be bloody awesome to have a go with a few 10 second busts while hanging out of the chopper.
Well this Ricochet that cost a mans eye seem a bit far fetched,my opinion only.
Shot ricochet off duck blamed for hunter losing an eye | Stuff.co.nz
Far fetched but believable considering it was steel shot and the evidence or lack of it, by no other pellet strikes to the immediate area.
On 1 news now.

I personally saw a fellow hunter get hit by two lead pellets ricocheted off a gooses wings. One went through his ear leaving a nice hole and the other lodged just under his rib cage.
i was hit by a 22lr ricochet. it bloody hurts i can tell you
Steel shot is probably the worst I have seen. Try a low angle shot off your pond next time (Obviously only if safe).
We used to shoot bowling pins at three gun with the shotgun. Had to stop doing it because of steel shot bouncing back and hitting the shooter. Lead seemed to be ok but it wasn't worth the risk.
Got hit on the cheek a couple of weeks ago shooting black powder with a few at the range, steel gongs, chunk of lead hit me on the cheek, no damage, but it stung a little. Gotta wear glasses at the range!!:(
Interesting about the shot not being round maybe that's why iv been missing ! , id say the bloke getting hit is 2 fold 1 the ricochet & 2 having the maimai,s so close 47 meters fark that.
