When I was a youngster, a crusty old gunsmith I hung around ordered me
never to shoot at water because it could bounce the bullet back at me.
I've had everybody I've passed that sage advice to make fun of that
cautionary statement because "it just couldn't happen."
I kinda doubt you'll be packing this sort of artillery, but view this
and think about whether that proper gun range didn't get quite a bit
closer.....
