Pop Bottle Trap
 

This morning my wish was to get out and catch a bullet. However, sister hasn't been providing empty containers fast enough. So..........pop bottles were purchased.









Instant of impact









1/3 sec after impact







2/3 second after impact







One second after impact







1 1/3 second after impact







Two second after impact







2 1/2 second after impact







Three second after impact







3 1/2 second after impact







All quiet








Knowing these bottle contained pop, i stayed kinda back away, but to my surprise i managed to get wet from the spray. The bullet was a 45 caliber 255g hard cast traveling at about 925 fps when it impacted. It penetrated all bottle, and went about 1" into the phone book stack.







The impact was a sight to behold......... it was great fun!

The VIDEO.

Neat! That's a lot of penetration.

I have Quicktime and Windows Media Player. The video will not play for me.

Why, i can run open source and not pay a penny for it. Kinda like the people running Ubuntu. ;)

As soon as Apple supports their O/S on MY hardware, i will think about it. Im not going through the hackentosh BS. I would rather run a Chrome book if i wanted to limit myself.

I tried media player also with QT "lite" 3.2.2 and no dice

Very interesting

Unfortunately i don't have QuickTime installed and VLC player is refusing to play the file. :(

Get a Mac!

Hey Partial,

Definitely i don't know what' what. However, what i think is happening is Quicktime wants to play the video. However, you are browsing with Explorer. Microsoft doesn't cooperate with Apple much, so Explorer is fighting Quicktime.

What i believe the solution could be is to browse with any browser other than Explorer e.g. Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. These browser' don't have anything against Apple, so they will allow Quicktime to play the video, and allow Semisane to view it.

My computer is not an Apple, and i can work, and view the video if i don't use Internet Explorer to browse the world, but if i try to watch the video using Explorer, everything stalls.

Me thinks you would have gotten a big kick out of seeing the actual pop bottles in real life; it was great fun.

I tried Firefox with the correct plugins and Pffffftttt. :D

I even saved the mov file and pffftttt ...88bytes does not seem correct for a file like that :p My guess is the file is corrupt or its a new version of the mov codec.

The actual video is not in the .mov file. The .mov file is a kinda link to the actual file, and contains no data to speak of. The actual file of the video is called 255buffalobore-Desktop.m4v Seems to me you might be able to see the video using firefox at this link

or maybe

or maybe both. One thing is sure i sure as a heck don't know.

Thank you Ron. That works

I kept getting a m4v file in my vlc log but the file downloaded as a mov??
