I didn't hit the roof with the bullet, but it was close enough that the shock wave left a slight crease in the roof of a car when I tried that almost 40 years ago.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I bulls eyed the wire on a high tension fence around a cattle pasture with my 250 Savage once. Cut it right in two. I had to call the land owner and ask where the stuff was to fix it. He told me not to bother. If he ever decided to put cattle back in that pasture he'd fix it. Or not.

I know a guy who did that to his hood while attempting to sight in. That was long before the Internet. But, had it occurred today, I'm sure he would not have put it on YouTube.

I swatted the driver side mirror on my '79 CJ5 with the old Marlin M60. Was trying for a pheasant.

A guy I know killed his buddy that way- bullet went through the roof while shooting at a deer and killed him. Stupid stunt.

I believe that happened in VA some time back also.

Very first time big game hunting and I went with some of my parents friends.
Dudes were probably 40-50 years old and I was 12-13 years old, hunting antelope from a pickup.
My dad was no doubt working but his friend has a ranch out where my tag was gtg.
Spot a herd and get somewhat close when the truck stops and I am instructed to get out and shoot.
Naturally lean over the hood and take aim at the jogging buck when I heard one of the 'guides' say, "I think he's gonna hit the hood".
Perfectly timed observation as I remember almost thinking about squeezing the trigger.
Lucky, that would have sucked to hit a pickup on your very first shot at a game animal.
FWIW, my dad took my brother and I out a week or two later and we snuck up on a nice little 12-13" buck.

I knew someone one time that had a nice mushroom with a hole on the side of his pickup. Had a loaded gun on one of the back window rack. He hit a bump and the gun went off right behind his head. He said it was a load noise.

Buddy of mine dropped an 870 loaded with Brennekes into his trunk and moved it around a bit while coming in from a deer hunt. First words out of his mouth Back at the apartment were "I have some good news, some bad news and a ballistics report" went out to his car to find a roughly 12 gauge hole about an inch from the filler cap of an 84 Omega, with a large band aid over it. Good news, missed the filler tube. Bad news, shot his car from inside the trunk, ballistics report, a 12 gauge Brenneke will penetrate car sheet metal from 12" at a 90 degree angle. I miss college.

A few years ago out in the Alaska Bush. The few roads there are are typically gravel and they are above the tundra. So we were on the road and had a box with a target down on the tundra. My cousin aimed (using the hood for a rest) and shot. He said, "how could I miss the target completely??" We were both looking at the box and then he saw the hood. I laughed MAO..
Several years farther back we were riding around in the back of a friends pick up truck shooting at rabbits. He was a cop and had a huge box of 38 was cutters and we could shoot as much as we wanted. At one point the truck got too close to a rabbit and and the guy next to me skidded a bullet off the hood of the truck. I thought the driver was going to go into apoplexy. LMAO then too.
