The water bottle was the best I thought. www.break.com/index/bullet-blows-stuff-up-at-5000fps.html |
Well, I dunno if its fake or not, but the watermelon looked really exaggerated... Like, for some reason it doesn't seem to me that the "skin" or hard coating around the watermelon would just fling off and the entire thing turns to mush.... Far fetched, imo |

Ever shot a watermelon with a non-expanding bullet? It makes a little hole. Ever shot a watermelon with a rapidly expanding pistol JHP? It kinda pops, and the rigid pieces of rind may break off in big chunks. Ever shot a watermelon with a varmint round, like, say, an 80 grain .243? It does pretty much the same thing as the pistol JHP (there's not enough density to make it explode like when it hits a groundhog). The bullet they show goes completely through the watermelon with no expansion or fragmentation (not to mention it's the same relative size to the watermelon as it was to the egg). |
All this is true, but LOOK AT THE DAMN OBJECTS. It is clearly CG, I can't believe anyone would think this crap is real. You shouldn't have to break it down scientifically for them because it just looks incredibly fake. |
You obviously never read the plane/treadmill threads.

Several shots at a watermelon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoW8nHIVuRk I can assure you, the rind flinds off, and the inside turns to mush. |
