.50 cal bullets kick ass, but you've got to worry about the guy that went to the trouble of assembling all the various guns, setting up the (expensive) cameras, and taking the photos. Either he works for an army, or he's got some arsenal.

This classic and much copied photograph shows Newtons Law of Motion, sometimes called the law of inertia. The two halves of the card stay in the air for a split second as they don't have time to react and fall in the millionth of a second it takes the bullit to pierce it.

The key to capturing such images on film is the lighting. As the exposure time gets shorter, the intensity of the light source must also increase. The threshold of fast films has been measured at 1/1000 meter-candle-second - the equivalent to a light source of one million candles at a distance of 1m.

try doin that in your back shed!!

Reminds me of the Korn vid directed by Todd McFarlane

When I was young and had no sense (do I now? ) I fired a .22 hollowpoint into a large styrofoam box filled with water (box was 18" X 18" X 18" approx) .. from about 20 meters ... it literally exploded .. the water went about 12 - 15 feet into the air and the box flew apart into about 50 bits ... all small (except the base)

It gave me a bit of a fright .. i thought that the bullet would disintegrate harmlessly when it hit the water in the box

Note : Shooting tvs is not a great idea, as there is a large chance that you will hit the cathode ray, which explodes. Trust me, many Texans have been killed by this.

i was a considerable distance away, like 50m

Did that frighten you since the human body is 80% water ?

The water content in humans is held mostly in tissues, plus the explosive effect of the styrofoam was probably caused by a similar effect to explosive decompression in airplanes.

heheh might be the capacitor you'd be wanted to avoid shooting there. I'd be impressed if you could shoot a cathode ray

What exactly is the deal with shooting in ireland ? ie I understand that shotguns are relatively common and are used for hunting, but what about rifle or handgun clubs ? Are there such things here ?

Rifles and Shotguns are legal for hunting and sport.
Handguns are illegal to own.
There are lots of rifle clubs around the place, for both hunting and sport like clay pigeon shooting. I dunno all that much about it myself but my uncles are big into it.

Lookup "hydrostatic Shock".

It's how bullets kill you.
