Bullet Impact At '1,000,000 Frames Per Second'

That was awesome. It was poetry in motion. Involving shooting things but beautiful non the less.
That was mesmerizing. I thought, "I'll only watch two minutes of this, it's going to get dull", then, "Only five minutes," then I finished it. It was almost hypnotic. I especially liked the flat-point bullet going through the paper target and taking out the perfect circle of paper along with it. Destruction is an artistic statement.
Lets do some maths to see if this is 1 million fps
1'000'000 hz, presumably played back at 30fps... though it could be played back at 24, 25 or even 60fps, I'll assume 30fps for now as a median result.
1'000'000 / 30 = 33'333
therefore bullets should will appear to be going 33'333x slower than they actually are.
Considering how thick a piece of metal these bullet penetrate, I suspect they are very high velocity so about 3500 feet/sec = 1050 meters/sec
1050m /sec = 1'050'000mm / sec
1'050'000 / 33'333 = 31mm
bullets should appear to be going 31mm per second or just over 1 inch per second. Looks to me like those bullets are travelling about 1 inch per second.
Conclusion: This probably was recorded at 1'000'000 frames per second

Now that is cool, though I have to say I was more impressed by their trajectory tracker app - showing bullets in flight, and tracking them (Especially when you can see the little counter ticking up the hundreds-of-thousandths of a second passing) as they fly is some awesome tech.kahlzun said:
