See the bullet fly
Categories: Photo project
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/see-the-bullet-fly.htmlThese breathtaking photographs capture the moment a bullet exits a barrel at over 365 meters per second. The author of the project was the Finnish photographer Herra Kuulapaa, who has been perfecting the unusual high-speed shooting technique for the last 7 years. In addition to the beautiful visual effect, his work has a scientific background.

1. Seven years ago, a group of amateur photographers launched an initiative that later grew into a project that helps firearms manufacturers better understand the fire processes that occur at the moment of a shot. This allows companies to improve their products Pictured is a modified Austrian Glock.
2. “Sport shooting enthusiasts around the world are eager to find out what happens in milliseconds at the moment a bullet leaves the bore. Our new method allowed us to obtain detailed 3D images of a projectile fired from a firearm. You can see 3D images of the explosion and the powder gas flow,” says Kuulapaa.
3. In the photo: Bullets fly at a speed of 1,280 km / h
4. None of the moments depicted in the pictures can be seen with the naked eye, since the action takes place in hundredths of a second. But these are not just beautiful photographs, they provide weapons manufacturers with information about the flow of gases and temperature distribution during a shot to improve their products.
