The moment when a 'huge muzzle flash' occurs on one of only three extra-large rifles weighing over 20 kg in the world is filmed in ultra-slow motion at 100,000 fps



The flash that occurs when the propellant burns near the muzzle when a gun is fired is called a '

muzzle flash .' The Slow Mo Guys, a popular YouTube channel with over 15 million subscribers, has released a video of this muzzle flash in super slow motion at 100,000 fps.

The FATTEST muzzle flash - 100,000 FPS - The Slow Mo Guys @KentuckyBallistics - YouTube


The video shows a .950 JDJ, a large-caliber rifle cartridge with a bullet diameter of 0.950 inches (24.1 mm), being fired from an SSK .950 rifle (commonly known as a Fat Mac), and the massive muzzle flash being filmed in slow motion. The Fat Mac belongs to Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, a firearms-related YouTube channel.



When you hold the Fat Mac in your hand, it looks like this, and even the big Dan has this size. This Fat Mac is a rare rifle with only three in the world, and even the lightest one weighs 50 pounds (about 22.7 kg).



The recoil when firing is about 200 pounds (about 90.7 kg).



Here's what the .950 JDJ looks like in person. It has a whopping 2,600 grains of gunpowder, a range of about 2,200 meters, and a bullet speed of 25,000 feet per second (about 7,620 meters).



The high-speed camera used for filming is the TMX 7510 .



The Fat Mac was loaded with .950 JDJ.



The recoil when firing is as follows:



Dan, who experienced a Fat Mac gunshot for the first time, said, 'My lungs were compressed for a moment and it hurt.'



The bullet hit the ground.



Below is a slow-motion shot of the shooting at Fat Mac at 82,000 fps. First, gray smoke erupts from the muzzle.



The flames spread along with the smoke.



Dan's face disappeared in an instant.



Bullets came out of the smoke.



Dan and Gab of The Slow Mo Guys describe the Fat Mac's muzzle flash as 'like a volcanic eruption.'



The moment when the Fat Mac shoots at hardened steel is also filmed in slow motion. The bullet does not penetrate the hardened steel, but shatters it into pieces.



Next, they lined up giant bottles and cans and shot them with Fat Mac.



Filmed in slow motion at 30,000 fps.



Even when smoke has spread from the muzzle, the bullet has not yet hit the bottle or can.



The distance from the Fat Mac to the row of bottles and cans was about 20 yards (about 18 meters). The time it took for the bullet to hit was about 25 milliseconds.



The following video shows the moment of the direct hit taken from the side.



Bottles and cans placed in front of him exploded.



If you look closely, you can see bottles and cans that the bullets didn't penetrate still on the desk.
