VERY nice.

Where did you find these CIA?

 

 

A guy at work sent them to me....

Again....

(He sent me the same pics in November/December)

 

I would like to see the apple one on a high speed video camera. You can see the entry wound being blown back out as the bullet is leaving? Why is that? I mean I know why.. but how does it get sucked back in?

 

Magic. Pure, simple Magic.
(That's pretty much the answer for anything too complex for me to understand.)

 

Cool pics CIA!

 

I tried several times to get a picture of the 5" gun firing off our flight deck aboard my destroyer, and all I ever got was the orange ball of flame, the huge cloud of smoke, and a case of temporary (hah!) deafness. Those old Kodak 126 Instamatics weren't meant for high speed stuff.
Later on, I got educated in photography somewhat. The apple-shot picture was most likely shot in total darkness with a wide-open shutter and a flash unit acting as the shutter. I did a similar thing with my handgun in my basement, using only a smidgen of powder, enough to drive the bullet from the barrel. It was a cool picture, with the bullet only an inch out of the muzzle.
All those pictures you posted were extremely interesting. Thanks for sharing.

 

Her are a few that were taken at an Op I was working....

Hey tball,

Where were those taken? 29 palms?

 

Close but no cigar.... that would be the Proving Grounds Yuma AZ, or YPG as known in gov terms

 

Can you get them to come up in your post like cia did? I can't get them to come up

tball,
If you quote my last post, and see what I typed, you'll see the [img] tags and can see how I posted that pic.

 

Yeah Man, I tried that, and it said something like... you have too many images to display.... Oh well
