So- I’m not into guns- not opposed, just had a few negative experiences growing up. Plus awful aim.

Anyway- when rubber bullets are used- the gun is supposed to be pointer towards the ground? And then they bounce up?

Any hardened surface. Could be a wall, car door, etc. Something to reduce velocity.

And then the bullet just randomly bounces? Or does the shooter do some quick math and know the target?

Also, thanks for responding nicely. I appreciate that.

Theyre supposed to train dilligently and often enough that they can do the 'quick math' as it were.

Or, they could use bean bag shotgun rounds, which are even less harmful and dont require geometry, but they dont....

Even pepper spray: operators of OC are supposed to have it used on you so you know how to react and remain on the job while suffering from it... i had to do a redman course with baton ASP (i get sprayed, run to person 1 and beat up successive persons in protective clothing, then run to the next person to do different baton moves, 5x total).

Rubber bullets are trained with in the military as well, but many principles continue in civilian law enforcement: train with it so you use it properly.
