After seeing this demonstration, the government immediately moved to mandate a background check and three-day waiting period for idiots wanting to practice physics.
Do not try this.

    Doesn't anybody else think this is awesome? Why are you all being so negative? These comments coming from the same people who probably believe silencers silence guns completely.

    the bullet looks like it was never fired before

    1: Why didnt the bullets deform? 2: Why werent the bullets very, VERY hot? 3: Are you f-ing kidding me?

    yea, like bone said... the barrel has rifling designed to spin the bullet.... to make it accurate in flight. yes it's very cool but it is also the very kind of "cool" activity that ends up killing or wounding people. Stay safe!

    The gun was loaded the entire time they were laying on the ground filming the bullet. Someone could have shot somebody pretty easily

    Seems unlikely but maybe possible with ultra low velocity rounds. Note how *quiet* those shots sounded - the ammunition was in no way near supersonic. Also note that the round was not in any way deformed from its impact on the ice and hardly made much of a dent in it. A high velocity round would almost have certainly broken up against the ice and penetrated to a much greater depth. Of course, shooting round against a hard, flat surface is a great way to get hit by a ricochet . . .

    Will somebody figure this out: The muzzle velocity of that round is 1200 feet per second, that barrel spins the bullet once for every 9.84 inches the bullet travels. How many RPM is that bullet spinning at when it leaves the barrel?

      @BlackWolf421(rotation) divided by 9.84(inches) = ~0.1016 times 12(inches) equals ~1.22. So 1.22 rotations every foot. 1200 times 60 equals 72000 feet a minute. 72000 divided by 1.22 equals ~59016. Sound right or way off???

    This seems pretty simple to explain. The bullets forward velocity is stopped by the ice but the rotation of the round from the rifling in the barrel continues. Ice is ideal to demonstrate this because it will create very little friction with the round, allowing it to spin for quite some time.

    were was the rifling on the bullet?? those jacketed bullets shuldve mushroomed after hitting the ice.. they werent ricochaing, so lame vid

    you should try sitting on it

    I still haven't figured out why this is preferable to going home and boning your girlfriend.

    I never shot from a gun before, but it seems to be way too quiet.

    NO string here, comon! we know you used a magnet under the ice.. -.-

    its not hard to visualize the physics behind this, it shouldn't be that impressive.

    the whole time they were crouching and staring in awe of the damn bullet, i prayed for the ice to crack.
