Slow Motion Projectile Impacts

Hi folks.

 

I found this on another forum on THL and thought I'd post it on here. Some of you may find it interesting....

 

Cheers.

It all lookes incredibly beautiful like this. I wonder what is the source of those intercepting pellet/ball shots at 2:00. Or is it shrapnel effect of some sort? They appear to be knocking out and destroying speeding shells whatever they are. Interesting to note that there is no visible rotation effect from rifled barrels on some of these various rounds. Amazing footage Andy!

Thanks, lads. I found it in the Rimfire, Centrefire and Shotgun forum on a thread started by Millet. The footage is courtesy of McKenna3 who posted it

It's a pretty bloody impressive bit of timeing however the hell the managed to hit those bullets in flight with another projectile. That must've taken some patiance to set up!!

Spot on that Andy bud .

 

There are some very interesting ballistic matter traces to look at there mate.

 

Wouldnt want to be in a armoured vehicle when a volley of 50 cal rounds comes your way.

The days of being safe inside an armoured vehicle really are a thing of the past now. I'd like to see footage like this of Fleschette rounds that were being developed during my days of service. These looked like a slightly longer-bodied conventional rifle bullet. But, once fired, the bullet outer casing broke away to launch several tiny dart-like needle-thin projectiles called Fleschettes; about 2.5 inches long. These can penetrate the weave of bullet proof flak-jackets and vests and bend like needles inside your body. Horrible things that can do unbelievable damage as they bend and deform, tearing around inside you! And Battlefield Medicine cannot yet come up with a safe way of extracting them from being deeply embedded within the unfortunate victim.

 

Really bloody nasty things those.

I seem to remember that this footage was a promo for the guys skills and timing equipment, hence the well timed interceptions by other projectiles. Watching it is 10 mins very well spent!

Almost makes me feel like shooting myself in slow motion to see what it looks like some good footage
