It is amazing what someone will post on YouTube to show their stupidity.

I hope that didn't go too high up

From the video info:

Bushmaster XM15-E2S had a minor trigger issue. My Dad forgot that it did chamber a second round! LOL

For those who may be concerned about a stray bullet, chances are that it hit the top of the hill. Just FYI... ;)

Um... was the trigger issue that the guy pulled it?

It is illegal in my state to shoot on or over a body of water due to ricochet danger.

This reminds me of one of an old roadrunner cartoon where a trap fails to activate, and then Wile E Coyote runs over and stomps on it to make it work and he gets himself smashed.

That video made me wanna throw-up. The trajectory on that was about right to clear that hill and still come down on a flat trajectory with plenty of velocity.

That guy needs to be slapped.

By his exclamation, he wasn't exactly 25mi out in the middle of nowhere. Likely, just across that ridge was a housing complex and someone was within ~20ft of that bullet coming down and skipping amongst the cement and stones around the neighborhood.

Jeez, it's called edit the video. I have a funny feeling it was not that guy that posted the video, but one of his buddies
