Wow.. 1 million feet per second is mighty fast, I'm surprised the bullets
don't come apart before they hit anything.


One million FRAMES per second.....


Some of the peeling, splaying bullets shots near the end of the video appear
to be hitting objects with pilot holes drilled in them.

Fascinating to watch (very expensive video gear is required), I've looked up
some of the ultra-high speed cameras used for these types of videos (very
high frames per second).


"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in
liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"
