    Have you seen the video? Riccochet is impossible as the bullet hadn't reached the target which is on the other side of the water.

    It just banks low left and hits the water short of the target. My thought was transonic destabilization, but Trident didn't think that was it.

    markm is correct the 64 gr tracer round is very well known for it's "radical" flight characteristics. Escpecially out of carbine length barrels.

    I've seen them do shite that looks like it's out of a sci-fi special effects library. Left turns in mid flight, cork screwing, sometimes in the direction of the target, sometimes at right angles.

    I haven't been to the range yet. I bet it did fix it though.

    Because it was what my lgs had in stock at the time. And it was too expensive at that but I picked up just 20 rounds for grins. They have since picked up some PMC and picked up 60 rounds to goof around with. Remember, I have only had this gun since Dec 2012 (3 days before the SHTF) and never had a prior need for 5.56. Trying to find it now is a daunting task unless you're rich and I'm not. I have a tough time with $1.00/round.
