Military porn!

Slo-mo doesn't get much than this.

Is anyone else as blown away by the footage of the little spheres striking the bullet in mid-flight as me? Equipment capable of that kind of precision blows my mind.

Almost 10 minutes? Sheesh!

^ yeah, and my jaw was hanging open the whole time.

Bullets are creamy!

I started watching this thinking "yeah, I'll get the gist of it after a minute and go watch something else". The next thought I had, after "woah, cool", was "oh, 10 minutes is over already?".

Very cool. Some of the target materials are obvious, but there were several sections where I couldn't figure out what the bullets were impacting on.

ahaha i love the disclaimer at the end "these are for shooting animals"

despite showing armor piercing rounds early on

*science anyone?

Invocations (science) cannot be called by Toazt because Toazt is not privileged - sorry.

*military porn It doesn't really show much science anymore than a skateboard fail video shows gravity, so I'll keep it out of there.

After a bit I was like, 'ok, what about water?, paper? Glass? Hollow points?' and I got em one by one, then 'where's the shotgun?' and I got that too. I am satisfied.

p.s
Did anyone notice towards the beginning with metal that the high speed pointy rounds caused a spark just as they hit? Might be just me.

^ I totally saw the sparks.

This is so cool. mesmerizing!!!

wow that was just amazing

The blocks of material some people might not recognize is ballistic gel (used a lot on Mythbusters because it simulates flesh). 4:55-6:18 (are those the shots you were referring to MilkmanDan?)

I think the ball striking the shot mid-flight was from a shotgun, they probably had to do hundreds or thousands of shots to get those few where there was an impact.

The main thing I was thinking, especially towards the end with all the rifle shots hitting steel where the bullet core completely disintegrates was, "I really hope they wore respirators." That amount of lead in the air cannot be good for you.

Wow, wow, wow. This is the most amazing slow motion video I've ever seen. Didn't know cameras could do this yet. This is real bullet time.

From ^schmawy's link:
"Werner employs digital cameras that record up to 1 million frames per second, with effective shutter speeds as fast as 1.5 nano-seconds."

Mythbusters needs to get a pair of these ASAP

My fav was....the whole thing! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Well, this video is heading for number one with a bu...

Ok, I won't go there.

upvoting the shit out of this. Thanks.

Whoa, thanks for all the votes everyone!

it's not quite long

Nothing but money shots here.

Nearly 10 minutes of awesomeness. upvote for quantity and quality.

Bullet porn.

What really blew me away was the ability to slow down the propagation of the glass cracks. Those happen about as close to "instantly" as you can get without breaking a physical law or two.

ps. Hyperbole, but not very much.

If I had a camera this bad ass, I would have sex with it every day.
