99ta Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 so was the bullet not going thru the ice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 i find it hard to believe that even shooting at ice, those bullets were not deformed the least bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 wtf did it bounce off the ice then land 10ft away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Myth Busters are doing an episode on it. I'm curious to see if they can duplicate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Purchase one of these: http://www.fatbraintoys.com/toy_companies/fascinations/top_secret_perpetual_spinning_top.cfm?source=thefind&utm_source=thefind&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=cse_October Turn it on, place it under the ice, scoop snow over it, drop copper-clad bullet on top of it. Profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I just want to know why the bullet isn't deformed at all. I am waiting for the Mythbusters episode!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyster101 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 That is neat. I bet it works. Think about it, the barrel is rifled, so the bullet leaves spinning, the ice absorbs the impact just right and then the bullet lands near by still spinning. The only part that is tough to believe is the fact the bullet does not deform at all. And copper and lead are not magnetic tool box, so your little toy top will not work.

Furloaf Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 They could be steel core rounds, or fabricated bullets made of steel with a copper jacket. What is interesting to me is that they are total metal jackets. Most FMJs have exposed bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 To deform a bullet the outside force has to be able to push back with enough force to compromise the outside structure. If the ice is giving enough or if it skips off of it then it is possible to still be intact without marks. I'm skepticle because the angle needed to prevent damage to the bullet would result in the bullet being too far away to be able to find it. Bullets just dont bounce off of ice and land 5 feet to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furloaf Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 ^ The last one was spinning behind the point of impact. A serious collision would have had to occur to completely reverse the the forward momentum of that bullet. Also, it is hard to tell in the video but the bullets don't appear to have rifling marks cut into them. Though the quality is too poor to really make that determination. I'd lean towards it being faked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I've found plenty of bullets at the range that looked like they hadn't been fired, except for the rifling marks. Dry, loose soil seems to stop them this way sometimes, muddy soil almost always makes them expand or deform. If the bullet came out of the barrel, it'd have rifling marks, or it wouldn't be spinning... Now, here's the question: If the friction of the ice was great enough to stop the forward flight of the bullet, why wouldn't it stop the rotation? The rotational energy involved is MUCH less than the forward kinetic energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also alot more force stopping the forward motion of the bullet than the spinning motion of the bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
