how close are they?? were you there when they made the video??Shooting steel with a 223 at that close range is flat out stupid. I have seen ricochets come back with unpleasing results off of steel at close range like that.

.223 explosively fragments in soft tissue, are you saying that it holds together and ricochets when it hits hart steel?
I've never seen .223 ricochet back from a target and I shoot steel all the time with it. It splatters straight out radially from the face of the target. Maybe AP ammo on some hard plate would ricochet, but I doubt it.
I understand that, and every time I've ever seen it, it splatters radially (in the plane of the plate) from the point of impact.Those fragments have to go somewhere. Ever watch tracers. How about shooting tracers at steel at close range and see what happens.
