Nice. I was always curious how it would look like in slow-mo.

So, now I know from slo-mo-close-up what the bullets do that I shoot with.

What amazes me from the clips where you see the same kind of shot over and over again (like where they hit a bullet from the side, or where ty hit an edge with the half of the bullet) is that nowadays they can control a shot so accurately as they do.

Oh wow. I can’t even think of a word to describe how cool that was.

Specifically a wadcutter pellet. The diabolo term is applied to all pellets with that wasp-waisted shape – the back is hollow which allows the skirt to flare out to seal the bore properly and also helps by keeping weight forward of the centre of drag to improve stability. You can get domed, pointed and even hollow nosed, as well as flat fronted.

The flat-fronted variety are used to punch very clean holes in paper targets to reduce ambiguity when scoring. As you can see from the film – they work, too!

That flat projectile was a diabolo, an air gun pellet..

Love the choice of music it took the surrealism of this video to another level…it was hypnotizing to say the least. Oh, and a quick question what kind of bullet was that they used at 4:29? The flat headed one? Never seen a bullet like that before.

THAT WAS FRIKIN’ AMAZING. YES I’M YELLING. I love how the lead just liquefies from friction. Mindblowing.

Looks like one of those night clubs videos

I would have thoroughly enjoyed the video if not for the giant watermark. Trying to watch everything happening behind it while it remained stationary was not only annoying, but straining, and now my eyes feel funny. Cool video, though. Thanks, neatorama!

I think it’s not a trouble with this small impacts,If I want to kill something, I won’t believe this will impact me.

The engineering information in this ten minute video could be used to earn a PhD! I have never seen anything like it.

I can’t believe I spent 10 min looking at that…

Man, awesome video. Pity about the giant watermark in the middle of the vid.
