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

http://rchs61.org/255buffalobore-Desktop.m4v

or maybe

http://www.rchs61.org/255buffalobore-Desktop.m4v

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??

Works fine on my Firefox.

Cool.

Well, that's too bad, i don't know enough to try something different.

Don't think that's the problem Ronlaughin. I open things with QT all the time, and can choose QT or Windows Media Player at will. Most any video file will open with either one.

To paraphrase Cassius in Julius Caesar: The fault, dear Ron, is not in our browser. But in our poster, that we are videoless.

Hey Ron, you size your proj's and use red devil lube?

No, i don't have the equipment.

Ron what brand of camera are you using?

thanks

Camera is a panasonic. It fits in pocket, and i take it with, when i hike, hunt, fish. Dust can get inside, and it quit working, and required repair. It has a 16X optical zoom, which is fun. Dust is a real issue with a camera in my pocket; next one may need to be waterproof so to keep dust out. Last antelope season, i carried the brand new camera in pocket for 2 weeks, and it was full of dust, and wouldn't hardly work any more, and barely took one picture.

The long zoom is nice, but in all probability, will have to be replaced with a more tighter camera with a shorter zoom.

All brands of pocket camera have the same features as this one; it seems to me, none is better or worse, unless this one happens to be worse.

Nowaday, i carry the camera in pocket in a zip lock bag. This seems to help some, the camera has worked for months. However, i detest the plastic bag about as much as a plastic rifle stock, or t shirt.

Hopefully there is a better camera available next.

What happens is with out getting too technical. Even though its a MOV or even in this case a M4V file, some "players" don't always support them correctly due to slight difference it how it was recorded. Even going HD and above about 640x480 at 30fps can cause problems with some players. MOV being one of the worst for me, I use strictly MP4 when ever posible.

This is not too much of a problem with Win7 or Win8. I can get nearly anything to play back with minimal effort.

I found the problem with mine. I have two different play back programs (i paid for) and they cause a minor conflict with VLC player.. One works fine with the file and the other doesn't. The one that doesn't causes VLC player to mess up. VLC usually plays anything i throw at it and its VERY adjustable.

The other link also helped greatly and was my biggest problem. It did not want to redirect to the M4V from the MOV. thanks again. :D
