Thread: Super Slo mo 600000 frames per second projectiles leaving muzzle

Interesting watch

You can see that as soon as the bullets leave the muzzle, gravity is working its 'magic' and they are starting to drop.

Shows the importance of a good crown as well to get even dispersion of the gas as it escapes behind the projectile

There was one of these but showing the effects of recoil on the person hanging on - bloody hell you wonder why we do it! They reckon we are 90% liquid, it looks like it with the ripples and waves flapping around the shooter's face. Looked like one of those fit military types too, makes me wonder what I'd look like banging one away down range. Probably like I escaped from a cartoon haha.

Yea and it all happens in a fraction of a second. I find shooting beside someone with a brake fuks me up for hours afterwoods

Yeah, the gases are traveling considerably faster than the projectile in those first few inches after leaving the barrel, there would seem to be plenty of room for an adverse effect on the base of the bullet. Interesting stuff!

I see there is no muzzle jhmp till after the bullet leaves the barrel.
Kind of blows the theory of holding the forend versus holding the butt with non trigger finger!

I dunno, you'd think the same thing about using a bipod on a hard surface and having jump from the bipod. That has a definite effect on grouping though, vertical stringing over 3, 4 or more inches where with the bipod on a soft pad it's back to a round group. You'd think the bullet would be fuc*offski long before the jump from a bipod would start to have an effect but there we are...

Id guess the initial reaction will be for the rifle to move straight back until it meets some resistance and then the muzzle lifts

There might be more to it ( holding the fore end) than just that. Why don’t we see the muzzle or barrel vibration in those videos when we know very well that they do exist?

Even if the muzzle was to move 10 thou it would make a noticable difference at 100 meters

I shoot of every thing and nothing seems to affect the shape of my groups except me.

I know what affects my group shape. Too much food and not enough won't power (I won't eat that...).

I really hate changing from one rifle that shoots nice tiny cloverleafs despite my best efforts and starting with one that shoots minute of barn door - bloody frustrating...

So much less of everything coming out the end with a suppressor. I had no idea.
