I recall back in the 80's, the factory where I was employed as an Engineer, our design department purchased a (at that time an ultra high speed film camera), as I recall it would capture well over 10,000 frames per second. We used it in our plant to record the making and breaking of electrical switches we built. It had a fairly large reel of film but would only record for a fraction of a second. The biggest problem we had was starting the film at the right instant, cause otherwise we didn't capture the event. We did waste several reels of the special film before we captured the pictures we wanted. Back then the equipment was VERY expensive, as I recall between $50K and $100K.

Probably gases escaping around the slug because it does not perfectly seal in the chamber.
My guess...
Pretty cool. How about an AK being fired under water at 27K FPS. This guy sometimes goes to 130K FPS. Smarter Every Day

I noticed the little puff out of the ejection port, too. Must be before the case expands and seals the chamber?
That, and all the little junk that leaves the barrel well after the bullet.

I'm guessing they pass through the grooves in the barrel.
