My Ride: On Order as of May 6- 2007 530i Titanium Grey and Grey Leather, with Sport Package, Premium Pkg, Cold Pkg.
2006 Porsche Boxster
This is incredible. It almost made the Darwin Awards.
The guy is shooting an AR-50. Watch the dust when he fires. The target, a steel plate, was 100 yards away. You can hear the ping of the hit, then the bullet comes back and hits his earmuffs on his head.
The footage is amazing. You can hear the bullet as it tumbles through the air on its course back toward the shooter.
He's lucky it hit the dirt first. He is okay, and obviously very lucky. The bullet grazed his temple. What a difference a half an inch makes!

That is a close call. I wouldn't be surprized if the next time this guy wears a helmet before he fires!
