This is pretty cool
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1btKoF_HZk]YouTube - Spinning 9mm Bullet on Ice[/ame]

I guess after he uploaded it a bunch of people thought it was fake so he did it again with full length

Then other people tried it

I don't know ... reminds me of those Liquid Mountaineering Fakes ... Maybe I ll have to grip the 40 cal and give it a shot on some real Canadian Ice hhahaha

FAKE

A bullet coming out of a barrel is EXTREMELY hot , it'd melt way more ice than they're showing ,and in addition to that , most bullets will break apart on impact with water.

The bullets also don't have rifling marks on them which is further proof.....
 
would be cool to see this on Mythbusters with the explanation of the physics behind this

Thats actually where i found the video. It was on the mythbusters forum. It had like 13+ pages of responses. Unfortunately they always pick the gayest user submitted myths for the show and never go for the cool ones like this. When they do pick a cool one they always take the dumbest variations of the myth never the well proven ones. Thats why top gear publicly made them look like chumps on the speed cam myth and they had to revisit it just to try to salvage some dignity. The two main myths everyone wanted tested was the Infrared LEDs around hte license plate (robbers use it cus it shines bright on camera blocking the license plate but making it still visible IRL) and passing it at 130+ mph to beat the shutter speed. They ignored both of those and decided to test the hairspray and other gay shit everyone already knew wouldn't work. I still love mythbusters though, I just avoid their forum cus it infuriates me to hear about what they blatantly ignored just to call something busted.

I was curious about it, so I grabbed the frames. This is from the second(longer) video around 3:11. Trajectory from the point of impact goes toward the top left of the frame, arcs downward and lands near the bottom right of the frame.

these are when it is airborne, I think I got the sequence in order:

these are after it lands:

If you find them in the video, you can follow along, as you'll see it never leaves frame.

FAIL

Couple of key points, chief:

The bullet is copper jacketed, which will dissipate heat very rapidly... and it didn't impact water, it impacted a friable solid, i.e. Frozen Water, which is called ICE.

Last, I challenge you to see handgun rifling clearly on a slug with the naked eye even up close and personal without a glass or scope. I'm a former certified H&K Armorer with 20/20 vision and have done tens of thousands of test firings, and I can barely see them with the naked eye- much less on a grainy youtube vid. They are not nearly as clear as seen on "CSI", mate...

qft

I'm trying this the second there's enough ice to do it if it's not proven false. You'd think this would have been pointed out by now at some point. There are a lot of guns and a lot of ice in the world.

Just for the record, I never said it was true or false... I was pointing out the flaws in the quoted argument ;)

As for the experiment, I am trying to figure out where I can do this around here- plenty of ice, I assure you. Problem is, the barneys in greater Chicagoland take a dim view of me walking around with my HK or Glock 40s and blowing up hockey rinks :tongue2:

I'll let you all know and I'll tape this bitch and we'll see for ourselves unless someone here beats me to it.
 
Pretty cool if it's real. I was inclined to call BS at first, but the 2nd vid is more convincing. Shooting down into solid ice doesn't look like the safest thing to do especially without eye protection...Uh, hello, ice can splinter into shards similar to glass.

^^Yeah, test it out. We don't get enough ice and cold weather around here. The last time I can remember that it was cold enough long enough to freeze a body of water that hard, I was 16 or something like that.

Fake. I shot the ice tray in my freezer, and all it did was blow apart. The bullet even went through the ice tray and into the freezer itself. I'm calling bullshit on this.

Imagine a guy in his slippers, walking around in the kitchen, picking up a gun and shooting the fucking freezer. LOL
 
I'd say this is real. Bullets spin like hell when shot in order to keep good trajectory. Shooting it in an angle at ice might stop it but keep it spinning.

I wouldn't want to test this though.

If I saw this about a year ago I might be able to persuade my officer to try it out as he was known to test all kinds of crazy shit related with weapons.
