Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

This video is amazing. It's crazy to see how they deform like that.

I think its a hollow point, that's why it splits open in that manner. Then again i could be wrong.

Or the wall is made out of Bugs Bunny fingers.

Well yes, this is a plausible theory.

The video is amazing! I can't stop watching! It almost looks like it was just a drop of water exploding. Some of the things mankind has made is pretty impressive!

The bullet spread like water on impact. That was pretty cool.

3 things i noticed :

  • 1- the bullet squash itself by following the "veins" (there must be a term for that
  • 2- I concrete/metal wall seem to very slightly bend on the impact
  • 3- I don't get tired of watching slow-mo videos :)

[–]stellareddit 1 point2 points ago

I believe the "veins" are a result of rifling.

[–]MarcusXXIII 0 points1 point ago

pretty much it. I didn't knew the english term... in french it's call "L'âme du barril"... witch translate literally to "the soul of the barrel"

[–]redditor3000 0 points1 point ago

They must have had to set the bullet to hit the wall at precisely 90 degrees to get that effect. It's great how the but of the bullet just hangs there after, suspended in gravity.

Kinda wanna see one going into flesh. Doesn't have to be Justin Beiber.

Awesome! It would be nice if some of them didn't cut off so quickly, though. I'd like to see the blocks of plastic or whatever they are explode all the way...

Why did I read "Slow-blow Mullet"?

Although I don't know the background of this shot, I believe that is what's called a 'frangible' bullet. It's specifically designed to disintegrate on impact to prevent penetration - usually for indoor gun ranges. These rounds are not usually suitable for combat, though several companies have created frangible bullets for law enforcement that will still penetrate targets but are less likely to ricochet or puncture dry wall in case of urban or indoor firefights. Glaser is one such company.

I've fired quite an array of firearms at solid surfaces (used to destroy company hard drives that way) and have never seen this kind of impact with any of my commercial rounds.
