Check out this video of these guys in Montana shooting a .50 BMG at an iron target, and the target hits the guy!

Cool! I once put a 1-gallon can of orange juice on the target frame at 100 yards with the end of the can facing the firing point.

I shot it with a 130-grain bullet from a 20" barreled .270 WIN. The can was blown to bits, none of which were larger than a quarter. Except for the end of the can which was facing me. It had a .277" size entrance hole in the center, and that circular piece of steel was blown back toward the firing line, landing about 10' in front of my shooting bench! It had travelled almost 100 yards back toward me.
