Ruger SR9C Slo-mo Shooting At 10,000 Frames Per Second!

[ame=http://vimeo.com/48571597]Exploring Frame Rates and Resolutions on a Phantom Flex High Speed Camera - Video Blog on Vimeo[/ame]
The music is annoying. Vid starts out slow as he slowly increases the fps beginning at 30fps to show off the ability of the camera. The real fun begins in the last couple minutes when he gets to 10,000. The vapor trail off the bullet

I think you mean Frames Per Second and not feet. Awesome video though I love watching these highspeed cameras at work!

That's a sweet video. As cool as watching the gun was, anybody else just as amazed by the spent brass hitting the dirt?? Awesome!!!

I missed the dirt part... where is it?

I missed the dirt part... where is it?

Right around 9:25

It is a great remider of what is happening when you shot a semi-auto (or really any handgun for that matter). Nice video...

Very awesome video, thanks for sharing.

Very interesting. My points regarding the recoil of the slide and barrel tilt effecting trajectory were true.

Hickok needs to get one of these.

Awesome video! Too cool how you can see debris spiralling off of the bullet in flight.

Love my SR9C (even more now!).

Thanks for posting, thej27!

Poor m*******s and their 10rd magazines. Yeah, that's 10000 frames per second, not feet. Your bullets don't go that fast. I also seriously doubt there's lead spiraling off the bullets; the jacket will be intact on impact.

 

[hdchaplain]

That was pretty cool, thanks for sharing

Nice vid ... It was a ballet of sorts, like watching hummingbirds in flight.

 

[LPPOsecurity]

That was an awesome vid

 

[cp009]

Cool vid. That camera has to cost a fortune.

 

[cjbecker]

hitting the dirt was pretty cool.

Phantom Flex cameras are very fun to play with! I work in film/TV, and I know several cinematographers who have done very well for themselves and own their own camera(s). NONE OF THEM own one of these.

(that's probably because they wouldn't make their money back, not because they couldn't really afford it. Renting one for the specific shot(s) is the way to go)

Even @ 10k fps, still not fast enough for a bullet in flight. Though the muzzle velocity of blazer brass, which is what it looked like they were shooting, would be much higher than a 45 ACP for example. Another look with subsonic rounds would be a "blast."

...would love to see some shotgun stuff as well @ 10k fps....

Oh.. and the Phantom Flex probably has a price tag of anywhere between $50 - $120k, they don't really publish their prices. It's been around for a couple of years though, and at the pace digital imaging tech is going, it'll be a lot cheaper soon enough. You could probably rent one with a short zoom lens for $2-3k per day.

+1, I love my SR9c more everyday. That was one of the best videos I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
