Slow motion bullet impact video

[spd1303]

Awesome video. One of the best videos ive seen in a long time

Consider that one bookmarked. What a show!!!

 

[achildofthesky]

+yet another, thanks for the linky. Fascinating...

I want to get that on DVD as a screensaver and party background for the flat screen TV.

black powder, sabot, shotgun-shot, handguns - all towards the cam. and a revolver going kaboom. a shotgun muzzle break in action, and the proximity charges def do more damage to the gyroscopic projectiles than the shotgun pellets in vid1.

the first vid was more 'artistic' and awesome, 2nd one even more gunny

anyone know what the stuff flying off the snubby's projectile? almost like water spinning off a wet basketball - was the barrel wet?

I love watching the gas exit the brakes. Just plain neat.

It almost looked like vortices (vortexes?) in the smoke from the muzzle blast.

Hypnotic. Esp. liked the Barnes X-bullets through gelatin.

Amazing stuff -- this would be great for a high-school physics class. Thanks!

Gone now??

If you have a video camera, even a simple one, just slow down the speed and you will get the same effect. It is the same as photographing dripping water, some cameras get it a 125, mine can get most spectacular even at 108.

Uh, yeah. Suuuure.

If your regular video camera happens to shoot a million frames a [strike]minute[/strike] second.

The linked video is rolling at, at least, 1,000,000 frames per second.

His other youtube videos are still unavailable as he has removed them.

Wow.

Simply Mezmerizing. Thanks for posting sharing this!

 

[renegade1alpha]

Awesome!

This is completely beyond the capability of any "normal" video camera. Even if it managed to take a frame at the moment of impact, the action would be a complete blur.

A normal still-frame camera can grab an excellent shot of a bullet impacting a target with a dark room, open shutter, and high-quality flash rigged to trigger when the bullet touches the target. High quality flashes can operate for millionths of a second, thus creating crisp still images of very fast moving objects, including bullets in flight.

It gives a whole new meaning to the term "lead vapor"

Great vids!

Yes, I think I've seen still pictures under these conditions. Not sure what type of camera or flash was used, but it makes sense that an extremely short duration flash being the only light source to an open shutter could produce these images, even with a low end camera. Interesting, as I hadn't really thought about that possibility.

I still contest that any 'normal' video camera running at 128 fps could capture little more than a bullet shaped blur, however.

It sure would be nice if the bullet types and sizes, along with the target material were listed for each impact.

Sharp

Casio has a 1200 fps digital camera.

I was about to post about this video, but I did a search and it looks like someone beat me to it. Great stuff!

I thought the confetti shower created by RN bullets vs. the hole puncher created by the wadcutter pellet was especially cool.

 

[kimber25]

Really cool. Thanks for posting.

 

[CCWB]

now that was cool. Between the beer buzz, the hot wings, and the hotties here at hooter's, that was the best 9 minutes of my day.

 

[timetoreload]

Amazing!

this would be great for a high-school physics class.

I wish we'd had cool stuff like this when I was in high school. Too many whiney, gun-hating super-liberals where I went to school though...
