Guest raygun Report post Posted June 2, 2011 Takes me back a bit. I used to manage a company that made, amongst other things, a thermal ceramic plate for inclusion in the casting of armour plate. Apparently there was some kind of "round" that actually burnt it's way through the armour. The inclusion of the thermal ceramic plate stopped it burning through. When cast the metal permeated the ceramic fibre which meant the temperature resistance was increased. The same system was used in engine pistons to enable them to run hotter and at higher pressures. Good vid anyway ATB Ray. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J-B 1 Report post Posted June 3, 2011 It's not really one million feet per second is it? 189 miles a second? what the heck fires it. Mel/T Ha ha, there is always one. Just because this is a airgun forum and you see fps, does not mean the fps is abbreviated for Feet Per Second. FPS in this case is an abbreviation of Frames Per Second. So that is 1 Million Frames Per Second, the speed at which the bullets were filmed at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eaton Rifles 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2014 Strangely hypnotic to watch those splashes, the penetrating shots made me think of 88mm rounds and sherman tanks for some strange reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
