Haha, well made, very realistic video. A few will bite for sure!
Will definitely shoot those with my long slide plasma gun!
Date stamp on the "share to social media" video is April 1st, so yeah, good job guys
Throw me down for the 00 buck rounds for a multi-angle version!

This video may be an April's Fool gag, but the concept is real. About 5 years ago, Darpa, Barrett and Red Digital Cinema partnered up and created a functional proto-type with a micro-sized 96 megapixel wireless cam in a polymer projectile loaded in the .416 cartridge. While the round does indeed spin, the camera films at a rate of over 4 million frames per second. There is special software that captures every frame when the top of the image is at 12 o'clock and pieces together seemingly continuous footage of the round's entire flight path appearing upside-right with no spin. It was designed for military and clandestine use only, with no plans for civilian use for the foreseeable future. The rifle requires a special scope, paired to an equally special spotting scope, and an extremely advanced wireless video receiver and digital recorder. The package was estimated to cost in the neighbourhood of $300,000 (USD), and that's not including the rounds, at about $7,500 (USD) each and, of course, the rifle. It's pretty cool stuff...

Rumour has it that they are already working on Bullet Cam 2.0 for shotguns. Tiny cameras imbedded in each pellet.

Nice one guys!
Hornadys out done DARPA on this one. The camera remains stable while the projectile rotates through some sort of gyro/ball bearing system that the techs at Hornady didn't want to get into. They fixed the melting tip issue pretty quick by selecting a non melting ballistic tip. Amazing stuff for around $10 a round!
