Gas seal Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Hi myth busters did a film on the curved/ bending a bullet .They also made a film on the 90 degree gun barrel. The film’s are on u tube it should answer the question about shot string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all looked at each other with the same thought that no one bothered to voice. 🙂 Ha ha yes, I have heard similar, and actually read a Shooting Times article perpetuating this ‘hosepipe’ effect. Hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retromlc Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 I used to believe in the bird flight into the clay, after I watched the above video and did some simple maths, at 1250fps it takes about 1/10 sec to travel 40m towards a clay moving at say 30mtps, not much chance of anything flying into a pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 There are plenty of on line vids showing crossing clays in slow mo (travelling around 40 mph ) and the shot goes through it so fast it looks like the clay is stationary.

discobob Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 if you squeeze your barrels in a vice you can make the shot go faster - honest guv!!! its like putting your finger over the end of a hose!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
