Brassfetcher needs a slo-mo camera!

[Lucky]

With all the tests done, imagine how cool the slo-mo videos would be. I'm always good for $10 towards a worth cause.

Cool clips, but I don't think the gel was properly calibrated, either that or they used some wicked outstanding .45 ammo.

That's pretty awesome - I'd pitch in for one.

DNS if you mean the high penetration, Brassfetcher's .45 SWC did the same thing. http://www.brassfetcher.com/45acpswc.html

What they NEED to show it HP is slo-mo.

you have no idea the expense you asking him to incur. The cheapest Hi speed video camera I've ever played with cost about 60k.

edited to add: If you actually want to watch a bullet, you are talking about over 100k

So webacams can't be overclocked? Shame. But doesn't JVC make a hi-speed digicam for $2k? http://www.jvc.ca/en/consumer/archived-product-detail.asp?model=GR-DVL9500U

to actually watch a bullet, you need at least 10,000 frames per second. An ordinary digicam is less than 1% of that. When I was using one to determine slide velocities, and diagnose ejection problems we were running between 3 to 5k FPS. We would rarely catch a bullet in the frame.

If you can actually get your hands on one, they are a blast. Nothing is as it seems...
