Bullettime (Guns Firing in Slow Motion)

Friday, February 4th, 2011

With snow and ice here in Austin, it’s been a bit of slow day. And what better for a slow day than some slow-motion gun porn?

I chanced across one of these researching information on the Lugar for a story I’m writing, and thought it provided a nice view of the Lugar’s feed and ejection mechanism, giving viewers a chance to see how it differs from the M1911’s mechanism for accomplishing the same thing. So I concentrated on videos that show mechanism cycling rather than bullet impact.

(None of these are my videos, I collected them off of YouTube, so I can’t take any credit (or any blame for the musical choices).)

Here’s real slow motion of an M16 and an M1911:

A Tanfoglio Gold Team (not sure the caliber, but similar vidoes have been for .38 Super):

Here’s a Thompson submachine gun (one of which I fired once upon a time):

A whole bunch of different guns:

Finally, here’s a dad teaching his son to fire a gun for the first time. His three year old son. On a minigun. BEST DAD EVER!
