A video of a bullet hitting a target, captured in super slow motion at 875,000 fps



In the world of fiction such as movies and animation, there is a depiction of 'shooting down a bullet with a bullet.' This unrealistic phenomenon was filmed with a high-speed camera, and what actually happens when a bullet hits a bullet is filmed by

The Slow Mo Guys , a YouTube channel with over 15 million subscribers who has released various slow-motion videos so far.

Can a Bullet Go Through Another Bullet? 875,000FPS - The Slow Mo Guys - YouTube


In the 2016 film ' Suicide Squad ,' there is a scene where bullets collide in mid-air.





The content of this video is an attempt to recreate this in the real world.



The .357 Magnum bullets used in the Desert Eagle are fixed on a stand and fired from a rifle, which fires .22 long rifle bullets .



For the shoot, we used the high-speed camera

Phantom TMX 751. The lower the resolution of the shot, the higher the frame rate the Phantom TMX 751 can shoot.



Check how much gunpowder is in each bullet. This is how much gunpowder is in the .357 Magnum.



On the other hand, the amount of gunpowder in a .22 long rifle bullet was:



For the .357 Magnum bullets that will be fixed to the desk, remove the cartridge case and fix only the bullet core as shown below.



The first thing that plays is a slow-motion video shot at 82,000 fps.



When the bullets come into contact with each other, sparks fly.



The bullet core of the .357 Magnum cartridge that was attached to it was shattered into pieces.



This is what it looks like in slow motion at 200,000 fps.



At the moment of contact, not only sparks but black powder like gunpowder flew about.



The core of the bullet expands beyond its original size, but the top half remains intact.




It is also possible to see the moment when the bullets collide up close.



You can see how the fixed bullet core is deformed.



A slow-motion video taken from the side. The moment of contact.



You can see the central bulge in the bullet core and black powder spurting out from the entry hole of the .22 Long Rifle bullet.



Even at the moment the bullet is blown away, you can visually see the core of the bullet and the jacket that covers it.



Below is the jacket that remained after the experiment. It can be seen that the .22 Long Rifle bullet was unable to penetrate the .357 Magnum bullet jacket.



Plus, the moment the bullets collide is captured in black and white slow motion video at 875,000 fps.



Without removing the .357 Magnum cartridge case, try firing a .22 Long Rifle bullet at it.



contact.



The bullet core will be crushed and deformed.



And then it shattered.



The .357 Magnum bullet that had been fixed on the nail was sent flying backwards with great force, but the cartridge case remained intact.




The cartridge part looked like this, and only the part where it touched the core was deformed, but the .22 Long Rifle bullet did not penetrate.




Swap the .357 Magnum bullets fixed on the desk and fire a .22 long rifle bullet into the primer part.



The moment of contact does not make much difference.



However, as soon as the .22 long rifle bullet reached the gunpowder, a fierce flame and black smoke spread.




However, the core of the bullet remains almost completely intact.



Below is a video taken from the side. Collision.



The primer explodes, scattering small metal fragments all over the surrounding area.



Although the cartridge has exploded, it appears that not all of the gunpowder inside has burned, as black powder resembling gunpowder can be seen around the core of the bullet.



Next, the rifle fires

a .30-06 Springfield round .



This is what it looks like when it collides with a .357 Magnum bullet.



See the moment of impact in slow motion.



The amount of sparks that rise at the moment of impact has increased significantly.



The core of the .357 Magnum bullet exploded into pieces.



You can really feel the difference in power between the .30-06 Springfield bullet and the .22 Long Rifle bullet.



The muzzle of the rifle is adjusted so that the .30-06 Springfield bullet strikes the center of the .357 Magnum bullet.



The .357 Magnum bullets that were attached to it expand into a ball and then explode.




The shattered pieces also spread out into a spherical shape.




We succeeded in capturing footage that is incredibly powerful, even when compared to a scene from Suicide Squad that was created using CG.
