High speed pictures of bullets leaving barrel

[Fingunner]

It has been a couple of months since last photo set but now things are back in track once again. We had some small issues with simple gear update, which then turned out to be not so simple after all. These issues are past now though and I have some nice images from our test session. Our plan is to produce even better quality images in future. So, like before, Enjoy

This is a 75 years old Lahti L-35 pistol designed by Finnish weapons designer Aimo Lahti. You can read more about it here.

Ammunition used in this test was also antique.

Little bit history: This specific gun was used in Winter war against Soviet Union and it has seen some serious combat in trenches.

Yesterday I heard that one of my shooting buddies had an incident at range. Nothing too serious but an eye injury. Da*n, eyes again? Hopefully it's not a permanent one.
Guess if he had his eye protection on? No, he did not, so in addition to thousands already existing warnings I made a simple picture with clear message:

I can say I'm on mission: This picture is something I ask you to post and send forward and even print to you local range wall.

Don't gamble with your eyes - you can only lose in that game!

He was lucky, no permanent damage although a painful scratch in cornea. Apparently it was a tiny brass shard - lesson learned I guess...

One compensated pistol image this time. This is how little compensated 9mm major directs the blast forward. Just compare to standard pistols!

Competition shooting is a serious business

How does the slide move? Does it move before bullet leaves the barrel or only after?
