    The bottom line is, if you are shooting at a animal don't shoot through brush or trees. The chance of wounding is too great. If an animal is shooting at you through brush or trees, return fire.

      A branch can, and does deflect a bullet just as much as gravity deflects the same bullet. It's a lateral force just like gravity is a vertical force. If the rounded ogive of a bullet glances a branch, it's going to impart a force upon that bullet which will veer it. How much all depends on the math of force vectors and trigonometry when you get right down to it.

      Actually, I have seen this happen. A friend of mine missed a shot on a buck with a 30-06 from about 40 yards from his tree stand. We searched for a blood trail for about an hour (because he is a very good marksman and it was a very easy shot, so we were both convinced he must have hit it) before I saw the branch he hit, it was about the diameter of a finger...but it was enough to deflect that shot even at that range.

    Francis E. Sell in his book, “Advanced Deer Hunting” shot various rifles of different calibers from .45-70 to .300 Magnum through both brush and Alders to determine which caliber(s) were best for hunting where the deer were screened by either brush or by Alders. After exhaustive testing he determined that a rifle caliber with a muzzle velocity of between 2100 and 2600 fps was best over all. Also, years ago my partner and I were tasked with testing all available .357 JHP ammunition to determine which was best for USBP issue and carry. We also tested 9mm 124 grain FMC and .45 ACP 230 grain FMC for the sake of comparison. The test were exhaustive, covering everything from hydrodynamic comparison to vehicle penetration. The caliber / cartridge that was absolutely the best in both vehicle and brush penetration was surprisingly the .45 /230 grain FMC fired from a 1911!

    This reminded me of my first elk hunting partner. One season he carried an 8mm Remington Magnum and missed a nice bull from about 30 yards shooting through fallen timber and brush when his round glanced off a small diameter tree about 5 yards in front of him. He couldn't see it through the scope. The next year he bought and hunted with a .458 Winchester Magnum but never saw any bulls. We accused him of scaring everything out of the forest. Great times!

      Simple bullet nose design is mostly the main differences. Like a wood splitting maul is going to force wood away from the edge, a bullet's tapered nose is going to force the bullet away from a branch.
      Wadcutter designs would tend to shear anything in their path, or a WFN type bullet.

    I was about 12 or 13 when I learned what happened when a fairly high velocity round (7mm Rem mag, 160grain) bullet hits a branch/limb prior to striking a target (deer). I was approx 200 yards away, the shot appeared clear, and I took it. The deer dropped like a rock. I walked up to it and saw a softball sized chunk taken out of the lung area, on the side closest to where i was. I then saw a small (approx 1 inch diameter) branch about 3-4 feet before where the deer was laying. there was an almost perfectly centered hole from the bullet in the branch. The bullet partially expanded/exploded (there was tons of "shrapnel" in the deer) after hitting the branch and then continued on to hit the deer. Bullets do "interesting" things after striking something before hitting the primary target. :)

    Rain and bugs will also deflect bullets, but he will probably mention this...
    Edit: the long boring part seems to be missing, and I feel cheated, so I will do the boring bit.
    Newton gives us force equals mass times acceleration. Einstein gives us the theory of relativity, which effectively means that you can calculate the physics of an interaction from ANY given point. So if we imagine a bullet passing through the air and encountering a five grain object, we could calculate what will happen from the tip of the bullet.
    So the faster the bullet is screaming out of the gun, the faster that the world is screaming past the bullet. This in turn means that the stationary five grain object is moving towards the bullet faster and therefore decelerates on the bullet with more force because it's weight remains constant while it's acceleration depends on the relative speed of the bullet. Therefore the faster the bullet the more it will be deflected by the same objects.
    Similarly because the object has a constant weight, and assuming that the speed is the same, it will accelerate a lighter the bullet away from it's desired trajectory more because it's total force will give more acceleration to an object with less mass.
    So, more accurately, the faster and lighter the projectile the more deflection a given obstruction will provide.

      Not to be overly pedantic, but Einstein’s theories were of Special Relativity (to do with things nearing the speed of light) and General Relativity (basically a theory of gravity). The notion of relative velocities you’re talking about (bullets aren’t anywhere near the speed of light) were known before Einstein. If anyone is curious about Einstein’s relativity theories you should check out minute physics’s videos on time dilation.
