Math heavy but I think overall he makes it understandable for most of us. He addresses a lot of the myth of ricochet dangers.

I have seen plenty of ricochets using 22 rimfires and also Military FMJ . Just watch tracer rounds to see how many fly all over the place after hitting something even the ground . Soft nose and hollow point bullets at higher velocities tend to expand and splatter more than ricochet .
