With that much velocity it can not change the energy to the opposite. If that makes sense.

The box was only 20 metres and the force of that felt like someone smashing my leg with a sledge hammer. I dare say that the bullet did hit him as I have seen this kind of thing happen a lot with pistol bullets.By the looks of the video it hits his ear muffs and maybe scrapes his face.

If that makes sense.1 second you say a slug gun pellet did a 180 and hit you in the mouth and then it is impossible for a bullet to do a 180.So which one is it???I have no reason to believe this is a fake.Like someone said it probably deflected off a rock or something and came back in a high arc and once it hit the ground alot of the force had been taken out of it and then it cracked the guy in the head.Any which way something hit the ground infront of him and then hit his head.Pretty funny to hear it coming though.

It's not a tennis ball.If it is real it's a 1 in a billion chance of it happening IMO.
