This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What a shot! To capture a bullet in a photo? Damn that’s lucky
More likely it's a single frame from a high speed shutter or high quality video. A lot of cameras I think can be set to do a rapid fire series of shots, you hear the clicks when you see them in movies or the news sometimes.
Okay here's the chance for a math wiz to step up, guesstimate the shutter speed, calculate the length of the bullet in the frame, and determine what velocity the projectile was going after impact. Why? I don't know. Science? Perhaps.
Or just use plain old common sense, and realize that 5.56 usually goes about 3000 fps (or 900 m/s).
