NEW! Vortex/Hornady Bullet Cam : Too good not to post

They could have made the bullet spin to the video to add realism!

But that's their advanced Gyros working to correct the spin... ;-) And I'm sure editing it to put in 300,000 RPM would look like crap.

I did see a video where people attached a goPro onto an arrow, and the arrow had a spin but they were able to edit the spin out after, but an arrow vs. a bullet is on a whole different level of RPMs

Haha, well made, very realistic video. A few will bite for sure! :)

Will definitely shoot those with my long slide plasma gun!

I just bought a box of these and it's great! comes with vortex's no questions VIP warranty too.. So I just plucked the bullets out of the berm and returned it to Vortex for another box afterwards!

Priceless.

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.
Use number 10 bird shot and you’ll see what a fly sees when it smacks into your windshield!

Nice one guys!

That would actually work. Just use cameras instead of pellets.
 
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!

So 10 rounds for 99 bucks is pretty competitive then right?
