Open Thread: Hitting a Bullet With a Bullet

A museum holds two Civil War bullets that had apparently struck each other in flight and fused together as a single mass.

Smarter Every Day tried to replicate this, using electronically-fired guns to get the almost-impossible timing right.

It's all interesting, and they hit a lot of bullets, but the neatest impact is at 21:40.

In this test, they attempt to duplicate the shoot-a-bullet-through-another-bullet gag in The Suicide Squad.

Here's another one: Firing an AK-47 underwater.

Spoiler: It fires, but the bullet loses all speed after about six feet and I don't think it would penetrate flesh after two.

You don't have to get very deep underwater to be safe from bullets.

They did a .50 cal and the bullet just disintegrated when it hit the water. It's not really surprising since water is incompressible at such speeds.

26 Because of the long weekend, the screaming hasn't started yet about barring illegals from Section 8 housing.

Oregon Public Radio did do a puff piece on Afghans in Oregon - it's just terrible that the Federal funding for Afghan-centric organizations has been reduced, and did you know that each and every Afghan in Oregon worked for the US Army in Afghanistan?

And the meanie US government should stop asking questions about whether some Afghans perhaps do not have legal residence here.

The best quote:

Another part of the battle for ASN [the local Afghan organization], Haqiqi said, is countering a narrative that immigrants are a burden on the system. He points to people in the organization, including himself, who are working to become doctors, lawyers and other trained professionals.

The North Korean Central News Agency could not do better propaganda than OPB.

57 The Section 8 action is important, part of a package of moves, but the most important clock still ticks awaiting serious action on the most important problem: the jobs magnet. Employer perp walks. Which would do more to reduce illegal numbers over time than any other single enforcement step.

There are non-disruptive approaches and strategeries in their hands, but so far bupkis. Same small number of individual enforcements, like the WI meatpacker, that have happened for years, even during the obamanation.

Only tea leaves to read so far, like the remarks at the Iowa rally, very very discouraging.

"Supercavitating" projectiles, including bullets, reportedly can retain velocity through quite a long distance of water, like hundreds of feet. It's the shape of the projectile nose trapping a bubble of air in front that does it.

He often played a bad guy, e.g. Lt. Tom Keefer in the Caine Mutiny.

Fred MacMurray played "bad guy" roles, notably the manipulative insurance agent Walter Neff in the film noir classic Double Indemnity (1944) and the slimeball Jeff Sheldrake in The Apartment (1960).

A "normal" teenage sleepover ended in bloodshed for a 16-year-old girl in Missouri earlier this month, with cops saying she was "shot in the throat" and killed by a 21-year-old woman while "fixing her friend's hair" at a vanity, according to prosecutors.
Bailey Lewis, of Lenexa, is charged with second-degree felony murder in the killing of Traelynn Sibley, a Grandview High School student who was just days away from starting her junior year when Lewis gunned her down at a home in the 3600 block of Norton Avenue on Aug. 9, according to the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office.
The fatal shooting was allegedly carried out by Lewis as she drove past the residence. Cops say she was targeting someone else inside the home who had a "falling out" with her after Lewis allegedly let the person get "jumped" at a gas station months earlier, among other things.

If it is an old-timey antique, it probably uses 9mm Largo.

DO NOT try modern 9x23 Winchester in it, which is loaded to very high pressure for a even a modern pistol caliber.

100 A semi-related tale, a troopie in Viet Nam had to drop a deuce and went off trail a ways to do so.

He was doing his business when a small squad of NVA marched right by him, and stopped for the night, within a few feet of him. He dared not move, he thought for sure they would hear his heart beating loudly.

The next morning they left. He could not stand or move his lower half. His legs were locked up from squatting for so long, all he could do was fall over

Several years ago I shot a .22 pellet at a squirrel on my fence. About 7 yards. Grazed the back of his skull. He began jumping crazily, bleeding, all around my patio. A spit second after he went crazy I felt an impact on my shirt at waist level. I looked down; nothing there; went out and put the squirrel out of his misery.

Came back inside and saw a deformed pellet where I took the shot thru my open patio door. I looked and found the pellet impact dent on a fence board with a smear of blood.

The pellet bounced back at me in nearly the same plane. But I did not shoot at a right angle to the fence board! A crazy combination of slight deflection off the rodent's skull, angled impact off the board, back to my waist. Rare probability events do occur. Rarely.

Carlos Hathcock was specifically hunting a very successful NVA sniper. Said sniper knew he was being stalked, and was stalking Hathcock in return.

Hathcock saw a glint off of the other sniper's telescopic sight, and after very short deliberation fired at it. The bullet traveled down the sniper's scope, and killed him.

Realize that for this to happen, the other sniper had his sights on Hathcock. Hathcock got on the trigger before the other sniper did, otherwise the scenario would have been reversed.

151 The Mythbusters did a similar test a long time ago, running through several different cartridges all the way up to .50 BMG. and firing into the surface of the water with the muzzle something like 6 to 12 inches away In all of those, every bullet was tore to pieces within 2 or 3 feet after hitting the water. They also included a blackpowder rifled musket, that was either .54 or .58 caliber, don't remember exactly what it was. But it's all lead bullet made it around 6 feet or a little more before it lost enough velocity to render it essentially harmless and then sank to the bottom a short distance later. It was a neat episode. What really blew my mind is that they were able to find a school with an indoor pool that allowed them to do the experiment. A school in California, of all places.

Understood. The story, as I recall it, was that Hathcock thought, but wasn't certain, that the sniper was in the small area he was looking at. The glint gave him enough impetus to fire. The other sniper was clearly glassing the area that Hathcock was in. Absent the glint, would one have recognized the other and fired? Who knows? It was a close run thing, though.

168 There was a type of obstacle which had a pole projecting diagonally toward the ocean, long past its 'X' support. End of the pole was designed to be just below hightide and would hold a mine to be detonated when a landing craft hit it.

Yeah, there were poles going both ways. I think the ones inclined toward shore without mines were to tip over landing craft.
