Dan_Breen Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I apologise if this has been posted on here before. http://centrepointairsoft.blogspot.com/200...-capturing.html It's billed as being shot at about 1,000,000 frames per second. I'm sure the film makers on here could confirm if that's possible, but it's damn impressive. Link to post Share on other sites
WhutJP Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Sweet vid! Wish it had all the specs of what calibre is being used and what the materials are though. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Pretty scary what a hollowpoint can do to a block of ballistics gel... Hate to think what being hit with one would be like. Just goes to show how much respect we all should have for anybody in the forces when they're facing something like that. Awesome video though - It's almost hypnotic, heh.

Stealthbomber Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 What's that at around 2:00 in where it looks like somebody's shooting at a bullet in flight with a BB? Whatever it is, it seems to be denting the bullet as it flies. Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever it is, it seems to be denting the bullet as it flies. yeah, was wondering about that aswell lol! surely it can't be a BB?? Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Could be a metal BB? I figure the BB itself isn't causing the dent, more the force of the bullet hitting it denting itself on the harder metal of the BB... I'd be interested to find out how they timed the hit so well though - someone's a frikkin' good shot Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be interested to find out how they timed the hit so well though - someone's a frikkin' good shot Indeed. As you say, it's more likely that the energy of the bullet is what's causing the dent. Surprising that it doesn't deflect the bullet too. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I'd guess if there is any kind of deflection it's going to be too minor to notice, as the shot only covers the impact rather than tracking the flight of the bullet for any length of time. And guessing it's a 4.5mm steel BB, it probably doesn't have enough weight or force of impact to affect the bullet's flight a great deal... I figure it'd be like a bullet just scraping the corner of a metal plate or something similar - it might deflect it very slightly, but it's still going roughly the same way for some distance.

DrKalinka Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Shotgun? time it so that the bullet hits the edge of the blast and you have a higher probability of success? Just maybe. Or some damn good calculations and angling guns and such. Dump in an electronic trigger or something. Link to post Share on other sites
GuzziHero Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I loved the shotgun pellet swarms at the end. I didnt realise they grouped like that, even in a full-choke shotgun. Beautiful vid, thanks for posting! Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Sure it's ballistics gel? Looks like steel/some kind of metal to me. Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
Triggerhappychappy Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 From 5:00 onwards they shoot blocks of clear gel- the earlier impacts do appear to be against metal plates. I liked the airgun pellet impacts, puts things into perspective quite well.. Link to post Share on other sites

Cool video though the explosions are lovely. Link to post Share on other sites

catfishsalesco Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 To reach far beyond typical high speed photography (keep in mind, we're talking over 41,000 times the speed of traditional film), the footage was captured using dual Shimadzu HPV-1 cameras shooting at a scant 312x260 resolution. Regardless, the black and white tonal detail is still more than good enough to astound. (www.gizmodo.com) It's billed as being shot at about 1,000,000 frames per second. I'm sure the film makers on here could confirm if that's possible, but it's damn impressive. Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Yeah, seeing a dirty bronze bit of a metal hit some gel really needs the colour, and obviously the sound of a gunshot slowed down about a billion times is just heavenly... Link to post Share on other sites

I would actually have preferred less sound. The music was really annoying IMO. Still, that's what volume controls are for, right? Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Yeah, I turned off the music.... As far as what the bullets are, there were all different types, from .22 LR up to the high-velocity centerfire rifle cartridges. And, obviously, shotguns. Link to post Share on other sites
