How did the bullet magically show up a few feet in the other direction they were firing and happened to not be in the camera frame. I think maybe they have a fake bullet attached to a motor that spins and stuck it in the ice.
It looks like they have to shoot a lot before one actually does it.. Its kinda looking like real to me.
I can explain everything but the spinning - they shot at the ice, solid layers of ice it hit and ricocheted up and landed a little bit away. Not uncommon for something like that to occur. However when it landed nose down spinning as such I can not explain that, especially spinning as long as it did.
mythbusters will be testing apparently and will be able to hit it with a high speed camera from multiple angles and have a lot more funding.
He picks it up after it stops spinning at 1.28.
But it is in the camera frame. If you watch it closely, or download an analyze in slomo, you'll see the shot, impact, debris splatter and the bullet move to the position three or so feet closer than the impact.
I went over it two dozen times. it's weird. I still can't believe it, but the footage looks good.
I had the exact same thought while watching it. Evidently, the way they act is that they know the bullet will ricochet "somewhere". I'm thinking, "do you really want to stand near a ricochet of any kind?"
is this an over simplification is the bullet spinning in the correct direction for (it looks like a Glock)
