Can a bullet ricochet off of wood?

Yes, a bullet can ricochet off of wood, depending on factors like the bullet's velocity, type, and angle of impact, as well as the density and condition of the wood. Softer woods may absorb more energy and reduce the likelihood of a ricochet, while harder woods can cause bullets to deflect more readily. However, ricochets can still be unpredictable and dangerous, so caution should always be exercised when shooting near wooden surfaces.
