Slow motion

This may be interesting to a few of you.
A lot of what we do involves trying to understand and control events that happen faster than the speed of sound. Slow motion videos sometimes help me to get my head around the nuances of our craft.

Thanks Tim.
when I get back to a real computer tomorrow I'll get to watch them!

[Blackwater]

Thanks here, too. Very interesting stuff.

Thank you!

I find it interesting in the first video that there's gas escaping prior to the bullet; good visual of what gas cutting looks like. That bullet appears to be copper jacketed; I'd love to see one showing a lubed boolit.

I may go looking for one, if I find it I'll post it.

EDITED TO ADD: No joy; can't find a slo-mo video showing the same escape of gases (or not) from the muzzle as in the first video.

I've seen most of those and they still fascinate me! I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around a camera capable of 1,000,000fps

You wont either. I have actually considered financing a HS camera (only $50,000) just so that I can capture that on video.
Still, you caught the reason I posted that video in the first place. Each one of these has important lessons for the cast bullet shooter hidden in them. The first video demonstrates gas cutting, as well as muzzle blast, and it's potential effect on the base of the bullet/gas check.

Great stuff but I spent a heck of a lot of time one some of the others that pop up.

We can readily see the poor fit of the bullet. It was definitely less than groove diameter and did not obturate at all. Note the clean brass coloring of the land marks and blackened, soot area in the grooves with little or no contact in the grooves.

Great stuff! Thanks for posting. I've known about underwater test firing (30-06 Springfield) for however long but still can't figure out why the guns don't break! The bore's are filled with water so there is a helluva lot of projectile in there yet nothing seems to happen? Go figure!

Cool videos. I'd love to have a real high speed camera.

I do the best I can with my GoPro 4 Black.
