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

Those guys have done some interesting experiments gotten some really good high speed video. All in the name of science of course.

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.
