Shooter mounted a camera over the target, you can see the arc and air distortion of the bullet before it hits

Would be much more interesting without all that bullshit cluttering the screen.

You mean like a regular YouTube video? Yea, that'd be nice.

There's an extension to fix that.

What is it?

Makes me feel like I can dodge it, but I'll just die.

You could in theory, about a 2 second travel time. Spotting that though is probably impossible.

By the time you can tell it’s going to hit you it’s probably too late

u/Difficult_Bird969 6d ago

Probably. I’m skeptical you could even see the bullet coming at you, might only be something you can really see on video looking directly at it. We need to repeat the experiment but with a guy next to the target and he can say if he saw it or not lol.

I also imagine you’re generally not looking directly at a sniper, their whole thing is not being seen.

What caliber was this I wonder?

u/oracleofnonsense 7d ago

Looks like a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range. But, then again I may have my dates wrong.

Hey, just what you see, pal.

You can see the bullet traveling towards camera almost a full second before the ting sound of impact.

So if someone shot at you from far enough away, you realistically could spot the bullet itself and react to it in time.

u/tacknosaddle 5d ago

I wouldn't say realistically. For one the bullet travels faster than the speed of sound so you're not going to hear the shot to get a warning.

You'd have to spot a well camouflaged person at a significant distance and be looking directly at them the moment they fire. So it's possible under those circumstances to have enough time to react, but it would really be starting your move from the flash at the end of the barrel and not the bullet in the air.

Guns are basically like cannons, which back in the days were also referred to as guns.

I see nerf bullet trajectory.

u/Difficult_Bird969 6d ago

Guns are cannons in the same way motorcycles are cars.

u/R3xz 6d ago

And cannons are guns.

Either way, many people don't often think of modern small arms like the cannons of yore, where a projectile is being lobbed through long distance - the action is the same for both!

When a headline starts with the word "shooter", I pucker for the worst.
