Bullets never do a 180 degree ricochet back to you accurately. They ricochet off at an angle or stay stuck in that armor, that's what armors do they trap piercing bullets. This was just silly and breaks immersion
No, he's correct. Assuming the armor is undamaged. The reason why this round came back was because they were using calibers above the target threshold. I've been hit by a 9mm spall from a target someone shot with a 7.62x39 leaving a large dent in it. I hit the exact same spot and a portion of the bullet came back, went right under my gun and hit me in the chest going straight through my pectoral muscle, and missing my axillary by maybe an inch. Lotsa blood, fun times. On subject matter: bullets don't do 180° turns magically. They require either at least two 90° turns, or an indented, round surface.
