This is a short video I made while playing around one day at Serbu Firearms. Mark Serbu had an old DLSR with high frame rate capability laying around and we decided to play around with it. The resolution is not HD when running at 1,000FPS on a camera that old. The normal speed footage you see is my Nikon filming with a wide angle lens and therefore is recorded in 1080p. That being said my Nikon while most likely 10 years newer doesn't even come close to a 1000FPS frame rate.

It was helpful to see the recoil booster assembly operation on the Innovative Arms Shepard 45 suppressor. (Note how how long it took the slide to go into full battery) This operation is the same across all brands and designs of recoil boosters (nielsen devices). This enables a browning type action to unlock and cycle by negating the forces/weight of the added suppressor weight on the end of the barrel. (I have a video on suppressor boosters if you search my channel)

This suppressor was very quiet and I was surprised by just how well it suppressed 9mm and 45acp (45acp footage was washed out). The tone was great! But of course it wasn't until we expended all the ammo I brought (HPR Suppressor Specific) that I found out I never turned my Rode stereo microphone on, DOH! So I dubbed music over the real time footage as there was no audio collected.

It was also neat to see how consistent the ejection pattern of the Crosshill Technologies upper was. It was mesmerizing in slow-motion.

I also noticed the footage illustrated the controlled recoil of the Innovative Gunfighter Solutions custom G17 and how the undercut trigger guard helped the gun sit low in my hand and allow a quick rapid fire string. Even though I was shooting as fast as I could to keep the slow-motion video length to a minimum, I could still pickup the RMR dot as we were filming.

All in all the day turned out to be a success and I hope you all like the video. Depending on the feedback I'll do more videos like this in the future and work on better lighting (you need a TON for high speed) and I'll record my other suppressors and hosts.

Nice video! It always facinates me to watch what happens in the blink of an eye. It expands my understanding of how the recoil forces are distributed.

Neat video; I also liked how the undercut trigger guard allowed you more control during the firing sequence.
 
Interesting malfunction, with the empty brass jammed between the top of the barrel and the slide. I have it on good authority that they never do this. Which generation of perfection was this?

For some reason, there was no ejector in that Glock 19 when Brassfetcher filmed it.
