Standing behind 3-4ft of brush <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />, I think it's safe to say there was a good degree of deflection there unless you're the luckiest shooter alive and somehow missed every twig <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.
Even though some rounds are thought of as "brush guns", there's really no such thing, as every bullet will experience some degree of deflection when it strikes brush. The amount of deflection just depends on exactly what type of brush it hits, how thick it is, and what angle it hits the limbs. Although bullet size, weight, and velocity has an effect, you can bet that any bullet will get deflected to some degree.
