When is it safe to shoot at a flat, hard surface or water?

  1. Never, because the bullet can ricochet

  2. When hunting waterfowl only

  3. During target practice only

  4. When using non-lead ammunition

The correct answer is: Never, because the bullet can ricochet

Firing a gun at a flat, hard surface or water is always dangerous and should be avoided for safety reasons. Bullets can easily ricochet off these types of surfaces and cause harm to nearby people or objects. Even if you are using non-lead ammunition, it is important to never shoot at a flat, hard surface or water. Hunting waterfowl or engaging in target practice can also result in dangerous ricochets, so it is important to always follow proper safety measures and precautions when handling firearms.
