really cool vid of bullets in motion

That was really neat. I especially like the shots where the bullet hits glass and you can see how the acoustic wave propagates far faster than the bullet itself, as evidenced by the crack formation. I also like how you get a feel for how soft the lead is, how it almost looks like a liquid when striking the harder objects.
 
Someone posted this video back when it was first put up on YT. It is amazing to say the least, but I'm surprised that there aren't more of them out there.

I do not think I would be wanting to risk a 1,000-4,000 camera out in the range field when a bullet fragment could splat on the camera and damage/break it. I enjoyed the video, thanks for posting.
 
Always enjoy seeing these, even if we have seen variations on them a dozen (or a hundred or more) times before. Thanks for posting this one. +1 on the music.

If you're talking dollars there, you are WAY off. This was no Sunday afternoon range trip video. It was a very expensive scientific experiment conducted in a controlled laboratory. If the cameras only cost a few grand, these videos would be in every last inch of the internet, just like the bazillion YT videos of every unknown dweeb out at the range. Nope, this isn't something that can be reproduced very easily, and I don't know how many hyper-speed cameras are in the hands of shooters, but the reason there aren't more videos like this is because of actual costs of the equipment. Now I'm not so surprised that this video is one of a kind.:eek:
Shimadzu's HyperVision HPV-1 camera can record at a million frames a second allowing you to capture great detail reports Engadget, although the camera shoots in monochrome (312 x 260 pixels), the frames per second makes it all better. Other features Windows-XP powered control unit with a 20GB hard drive and Ethernet/USB2.0 connections; images are stored as either AVI, TIFF or BMP. Price $205,000

amazing how the ap rounds slide through the plate like that and how others open so perfectly symmetrically
 
From what I see, those are FMJ rounds not AP. AP usually has a steel pin inside that keeps going after the bullet and jacket are stripped off on impact, kind of like a sabot.

Any military armorer types want to confirm this.
 
Seen it several times before.
Still impressive.

The music is an acquired taste.
Very minimalist techno.
Won't appeal to classic rock,
country western or Welk fans.

It's intended to be hypnotic.

Note the title of the track.

I can't imagine how many times they had to re-take their attempts to hit a bullet in motion with buckshot. The chances of impact are absurdly low, and the chances of capturing it at the exact moment and location of impact are even smaller.
