Pretty cool !Myth Busters slow motion pistol shot, the bullet leaves the barrel way before the slide moves.
How about a cut away 1911 in slow motion-
And another of a revolver- (not myth busters)
It was a great show however if someone around me started shooting straight up I’d want some serious concrete roof over me.So miss those guys. Some truly amazing things on their show. I really liked the one where they went out to the flats and fired straight up. And they were actually able to find some of the bullets.
That was awesome, one minute is was there……next minute gone!I loved it when they blew up the cement truck at the Alameda bomb range
Loved that episode. I knew the water tank would explode from the shotgun slug but I was shocked the 50bmg didnt do more damage to the bottom of the pool.. Ive always wondered if the round was fired from a little further away how far it would go.Or the dynamite in the concrete truck....... gone!
The most exciting episode for myself was when the tested bullet penetration in water. They used a YMCA/YWCA pool that was on the 2nd or 3rd floor. They got real nervous testing the 50bmg round.
Contrary to popular belief, 3-5 feet of water IIRC is all it took to slow it down enough to not penetrate you.
