The most favorable ground for ricochets is a smooth, hard,horizontal surface. Bullets also ricochet on water, and, to a lesserextent on plowed ground, wet clay, wet turf, or swampy chance of ricochet in sand is very slight. Bullets whichricochet are often deflected laterally and the amount of deflectioninfluences the range of the rebound. The maximum angle of de-flection is about 30° and it is usually to the right. The range willbe greater as the point of strike is nearer the point from which thepiece is fired. A smooth, hard surface so inclined as to give an SMALL ARMS FIRING 353 acute angle of fall to the bullet produces the maximum range ofrebound, which is about 2,500 yards or a little more. The Occupation of Ground.—The question presents two as-pects, as follows: First. What firing positions may be chosen which will tendto increase the losses of the enemy? Second. W
