mjbine Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 It looks like the color of a jacketed bullet. The length look strange and that could be because the camera was not fast enough to capture it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAL Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Burning powder??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Its not the bullet. Its a bit of burning something or other - either powder, or a piece of priming compound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-shot Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Bullets on film are a little darker and seem to me to appear as a perfect laser-like line. It also seems there is curvature at the end of whatever it was captured in flight. Good pic tho!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajarrel Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) I usually screw up pretty bad when I figure something like this, so if it is FUBAR, sorry. figure a 1000 fps round. That's 12000 inches per second. That looks like a fairly low to med light level and a camera on auto may try to capture it at 1/250 sec. During the time the shutter is open (using the analogy of a film camera) the bullet will have traveled 48 inches. Even if the shutter speed is 1/1000 the bullet would have traveled 12 inches. The picture shows something about 2 inches long. If the camera had caught the bullet in either of the two scenarios above (1/250 or 1/1000) it would have left a streak of 48 inches or 12 inches respectively. So, I would guess as much as I would like to see a bullet stopped in flight with a digital or film camera, I don't think that's what it is. I think the firefly probably comes the closest dj edited to add that maybe someone who knows what I'm talking about can chime in dj Edited October 25, 2007 by dajarrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the camera had caught the bullet in either of the two scenarios above (1/250 or 1/1000) it would have left a streak of 48 inches or 12 inches respectively. That pretty much sums it up. BTW, a shutter speed of 1/1000 would have frozen the slide and brass motion, so I guess it was in the 1/125 - 1/250 ballpark too. Either that, or the ejected brass is travelling at the same speed of the bullet ... Definitely a spark of burning powder.

GentlemanJim Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I dont think it could be the bullet. In the actual photos I have seen of bullets in flight...the action on the gun is not even open...much less in full recoil. I have no idea what it is....

AikiDale Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I see a left handed shooter, a two tone Glock, a bit of burning powder in flight and the face of E.T. in the smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
