Yeah. My first day with a BB gun I discovered that by some trick of physics a BB pellet aimed at my grandfathers barn window would leave a tiny impression where the pellet stuck the pane while making a cone-shaped divot on the opposite side of the pane. Countless trials from different distances and angles on a half-dozen barn windows brought similar results, though I could not fathom why it was that a pellet could fail to penetrate the window and yet damage the other side with such drama and perfect geometry. In those heady moments I felt like Newton exporing some mystery of nature.Originally Posted by Harlan Huckleby
Later on Grandpa in a red-faced tirade accused my cousin Billy of having shot out six of his barn windows. Billy protested that even he wasn't stupid enough to shoot out a window.
