I had a standard velocity .22 long rifle bounce back off a fence post one time and I heard and felt it zing past my ear. Very unsettling. I don't know if it would have penetrated or not if it had hit me. Also, when I was going through an NRA instructor school at a Marine Corps indoor range in Quantico, one of my classmates caught a bounced back .45ACP FMJ round square in the chest while we were doing night fire training. It didn't penetrate his skin, but left a heck of a big red welt. He said it hurt accordingly - definitely got his attention. Glad you survived your event.
