I think it’s safe to say we know the damage that bullets can do to people and object. German engineer Werner Mehl possesses a camera system is able to track the flight of a bullet at a whopping 1 million frames per second, and doing what any man with the possession of such equipment does, he created this 10-minute clip showing the impact of bullets on different targets – before you get too excited, no people were harmed in the making of the video. It is quite beautiful, pity about the ridiculously huge watermark right in the middle of everything.
