BeBu Lamar Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I thought someone shot a bullet into a Z9. :cool: That was the Nikon F. The Z can't take a bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB_Gallery Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 A buddy and I went to the pistol range on Sunday and I was wanting to try this but it was too busy. I figured this would be the outcome, 1/32,000th is pretty short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_bouknight1 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 That is pretty cool, the "decisive moment" for sure. Glad I did not have to sort through all of the images, though. When I shot BBall with D3s, I slowed it down to 5 or 6 FPS to reduce the workload. I guess there is software that can analyze a group of photos and suggest the best image? Seem like my phone did that from time to time. And, for bullet protection, I think I would rather have a Z9 than the Sony A7(1) and 7RII cameras I had. Those broke without a bullet impact, LOL.

mike_halliwell Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I don't think i remembered .22 LR being supersonic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conrad_hoffman Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Pretty sure the .22 LR is, or they wouldn't sell special subsonic rounds. We have a camera at work that can hit 1M fps, admittedly at reduced resolution. It's also not too tough with an old GR strobe, as Harold Edgerton proved. harold edgerton - Google Search Doing it brute force by shutter speed is impressive, but seems the hard way 'round.

JDMvW Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Frank Capra was shooting with a Leica in Spain, but he didn't quite catch the bullet, per se;) AS for .22 Long Rifle, WIKI says The velocity of standard-velocity 22 LR rounds varies between manufacturers. Some standard velocity ammo may be slightly supersonic-around 1,125 ft/s (343 m/s), other ammo such as CCI Standard Velocity 22 LR ammunition is rated at 1,070 ft/s (330 m/s).

Rob Davies Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Don McCullin managed to catch a bullet with his trusty Nikon F............ they don't build them like that anymore (or the cameras). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgelfand Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I don't think i remembered .22 LR being supersonic? Both supersonic and subsonic .22 LR rounds are manufactured. As an example, Ely Tenex is subsonic or close to it, depending upon barrel length, altitude, and temperature LINK: ELEY tenex .22LR ammunition | (eleyammunition.com) While Ely Tenex biathlon is probably supersonic depending upon the same conditions LINK: ELEY tenex biathlon .22LR ammunition | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
