There is no real way of knowing as each ricochet will differ. It is certainly the fact that .22 is predisposed to ricochet though

It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

Now that is interesting................
Ricocheting off bits..............not projectiles
Hating Pooks, as we all do, I noticed one, 10 metres away from a car port, so I sneaked up on it and upon sighting it with the scope attached to 22 , found the line of trajectory 12 inches above the roof of a car parked in the carport. Looks good, thinks the idiot boy and pulls trigger.
Bang.................followed by the sound of a shattered car window falling in many pieces onto the ground.
Closer investigation found that a nylon 5 mm rope supporting an awning now had one of it's three twines severed and there appeared to be an impact on the window.
No sign whatsoever of a bullet "departure" hole so I can only conclude that a portion of the nylon cord hit the window with sufficient impact to cause it to shatter.
