This YouTube video from Fullmag showcases the impact of a bullet in extreme slow motion, filmed at 1 million frames per second. The video visually demonstrates the physics of bullet penetration and deformation upon impact with a target.

This video debunks the misconception that firearms should not exhibit muzzle flip, explaining that it's a natural consequence of physics, especially when firing hotter self-defense ammunition. The instructor emphasizes that perceived muzzle flip is not an indicator of poor shooting technique but rather a sign of effective ammunition. He advises focusing on maintaining proper shooting form, keeping arms in position, and reacquiring the target quickly, rather than striving for a completely still firearm.

This video explores the physics and practical applications of tapers in firearms, focusing on barrels, muzzle devices, and suppressors. The presenter, Kit Badger, explains how tapers contribute to critical functions like baffle strike prevention, gas sealing for suppressed shooting, and achieving a solid lock-up with threads and torque. The video aims to provide a scientific understanding of this often-overlooked firearm component.
