A ricochet ( /ˈrɪkəʃeɪ/ RIK-ə-shay) is a rebound, bounce or skip off a surface, particularly in the case of a projectile. The possibility of ricochet is one of the reasons for the common firearms safety rule "Never shoot at a flat, hard surface."[citation needed] Ricochets are sometimes called car[r]oms.
The likelihood of ricochet is dependent on many factors, including bullet shape, velocity (and distance), target material and the angle of incidence.
Bullet construction has a major factor in determining both the likelihood of ricochet as well as where the bullet will travel afterward. Hard bullets have a greater tendency to penetrate than softer ones. Bullets that break up, such as varmint hunting bullets have a low risk of ricochet. The lower chance of ricochet is one of the reasons the newer .17 HMR round with its frangible bullet has gained popularity against the older non-fragmenting .22 WMR.
Ricochets are often more common with low-power calibers such as .22 or .177 calibre, which can have trouble penetrating some materials, although a ricochet can occur with any caliber. Higher velocity projectiles have a tendency to either penetrate the target, and/or to break-up on contact with it.

When will you ever see?
You're killing me with the things that you say
It's all so gritty
What am I to do and do
Am I to do or do
When will you ever see?
To let it be
Don't cry
It just ricochets
Into another day
Into another day
Please try to have something to say
There'll be another day
There'll be another day
Take a look around
Your only down was the things that you say
Turn out that way
What can you ever do
What can you ever do
When no one's around
It's going down
Don't cry
It just ricochets
Into another day
Into another day
Please try to have something to say
There'll be another day
There'll be another day
Dragging me down I go my way
The ending's always near
Head underground again today
Be only you are here and
Don't cry
It just ricochets
Into another day
Into another day
Please try to have something to say
There'll be another day
There'll be another day
Don't cry
It just ricochets
Into another day
Into another day
Please try to have something to say
There'll be another day
