Pretty awesome video, thanks for the link.

I'd like to see the same done with a barrel that's fluted for most of its length.

Hey Mongo,

On those Tracer rounds, once in a while there was a vertical stringer of red tracer light that streaks up and out of the frame, is this bullets being deflected from the dirt and going up, or is it some effect with the chemical trail being redirected? I guess I honestly do not know how a tracer trail is made behind the bullet... and in my ignorance it appears that your bullets might be leaving the backstop area and going airborn and unaccounted for.

Can you explain what the heck I'm seeing?

Look at 3:03-3:06 and 3:13-3:16 and 3:21-3:23 and 3:30-3:31, these are the effect I am seeing that I am not sure what exactly I am looking at?

Yup those are rounds being deflected off. This happens all the time with non traced rounds, you just don't see it. The energy is pretty much spent already and unless you were at the top of the berm and caught the initial defected round they do not have enough energy to hurt any one.

Thanks Mongo, I always love looking at that BAR.
