Are we sure the AR15 shot the reporter? Could Alec Baldwin have been hiding in the hedgerow? Guns don’t shoot people, Alec Baldwin does.
In your photo the target is held rigidly by two vices. In the clown shoot event the (small) targets appear to stand unattached on top of sawhorses.
That could make quite a difference, but I’m no expert (just know some physics).

Nope. I have seen rounds that came right back and hit next to me. I have done it to myself because the bullet “glanced” off several bouncing angels just right back at me. Especially when I was a kid and armour piercing were still available.
But it leaves a question... How anyone could miss a target enough to “glance” a round coming from that 03A3 in the picture you shared I have no clue. Pretty hard to miss a dead ringer with a 03A3 30-06 or a Britt 303...
I have never been able to miss by more than two inches with either at 100 yards and the factory peep sights...
Point is... Never think they CANT... Because they CAN. Please do not spread falsehoods that might get someone hurt because of self overconfidence.
