shooting a .45 with a 223... in mid air.

Must watch. They fire a .45, then a fraction of a second later, a .223. They collide. Chaos ensues.

The last shot,when the 223 bullet completely disappears inside the 45 bullet, is really COOL,

Soooooo. . .this is the Ford Pinto collision edition of High Speed Ballistics?

Pretty cool that once they got their ignition timing down, they never had a failure to connect.

Also illustrative of how fast these things are happening - the .45 is unlocked, it's brass ejected, and the bullet a couple feet downrange before the .223 even goes off. I always have to contain a chuckle when people want to test the reliability of their pistols by shooting them faster. Ummm. . .no.
WWJMBD?

I believe we should stand on Ceremony. . . while our friends handcuff the sanctimonious little prick and take him away.
