I'm betting it will. By the way, Granny Glock's favorite is the 19. It's a wonderful piece of engineering.

Actually, any projectile, fired at a shallow enough angle, will skip off of almost anything.

About 100 years ago I got scored two hits for one shot with a five inch gun. My 66 pound projectile hit the water within the hit zone in front of the target, skipped, and hit a second time within the hit zone behind the target. For five shots we scored 6 hits.

Now that's what I call shootin', Jim.
