It has happened. During the American Civil War, a Union rifleman fired his rifle, and the projectile collided with the projectile fired by a Confederate rifleman - in the barrel of the Confederate's rifle. IIRC, that rifle was displayed in the Museum of American History.

Is it possible to step in front of a fired gun and block a bullet?
NO, IF YOU TRIED IT YOU WONT BE READING THIS ANSWER! Actually, the answer is yes. You could step in front of a gun and block a bullet. Your body would likely block the bullet from hitting another person. Additionally, everyone who is shot doesn't die, in fact, it's not even most, so you could block a bullet and possibly still live to read the answer, however, don't step in front of bullets. Even if you don't die, you could be severely injured. <><> One more answer- no. If the gun has been fired, the human body cannot react nor move fast enough to get in front of a bullet. It is too fast, and you are too slow.
