My planet is full of rocks, shooting down at such a short distance I would worry about ricochets.

Some intelligence is required when using firearms... and yes, shooting into a rock that close is a bad idea. The point is to discharge it in a safe direction, safe meaning you know where the bullet will be stopping. If you live on nothing but a bare rock outcropping, then get a 5 gallon bucket of sand. Shoot stright down into it, no worries.

I can tell you EXACTLY what it feels like to get hit by a truck. I do not recommend anyone try it themselves.

Don't ask how I know.
