10,000 frames per second is pretty fast photography. I haven't seen it yet as it is 10 minutes long and I have a dial-up connection--takes forever.

It's pretty cool seeing things like that in action...

Anyone else ever see the video of bullet impacts at 1 million frames per second...? It's cool too

That was some beautifully-done filmography. I found the clips showing the vortices spinning off the bullet to be most interesting.

Neat. Love to watch slow-mo of firearm function and bullet travel. IIRC, the Mythbusters crew uses .45 ACP pistols with their slower velocity to maximize resolution of their slow shots.

Too bad that the camera, lens, equipment and software probably cost as much as a nice Barrett .50 & Nightforce scope.
