I wonder how long it took for them to get that precision.

[Patrick]

That bullet is tiny and sh*te.

[Crimson Dynamo]

yes, we all wonder what a bullet through a drop of water looks like....

[Smithy]

idg why anyone would even do this, it just seems pointless

[Ninastar]

I saw this earlier and I wanted it to be a bubble

that would have been cooler :hmph:

[Patrick]

He spent months preparing it, all for a wopping sum of 30 Quid..

[Samuel.]

A Gaga fan not understanding real art? Who would have guessed.

[Marsh.]

That bullet is tiny and sh*te.

Yeah, because you're the expert I guess?

[Patrick]

You don't need to be in the army to know what a decent looking bullet is.

It's no mouse playing the french horn though is it

[King Gizzard]

and Patrick, that bullet is flying at 438439843893894 miles an hour, it's impossible to know what size it is

You know what seems pointless to me... Posting in a thread you aren't remotely interested in.

For example, you don't see me posting in a Rihanna thread, or a Football thread. Neither of these things interest me in the slightest. Both of them bore me to death.

I see no purpose in this except to troll or bate the other users.

Just saying...

Nice series of pictures.

Shame its not a speeding bullet, its an air rifle pellet. The photographer even says its speed was 260 m/s. sort of gives you a clue.

Second clue was in the Mails own article, in the blue box detailing "How the process works".

Para E states Precise calculations are used to measure exactly when the drop and pellet arrive at the same point. The whole process takes 28 milliseconds.

You're thinking of the shell of a bullet I think

No, but you do have to have some creative intelligence to appreciate art.
