This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What a shot! To capture a bullet in a photo? Damn that’s lucky
More likely it's a single frame from a high speed shutter or high quality video. A lot of cameras I think can be set to do a rapid fire series of shots, you hear the clicks when you see them in movies or the news sometimes.
Okay here's the chance for a math wiz to step up, guesstimate the shutter speed, calculate the length of the bullet in the frame, and determine what velocity the projectile was going after impact. Why? I don't know. Science? Perhaps.
Mathematician here. Looks like it's going about as fast as a bullet.
Or just use plain old common sense, and realize that 5.56 usually goes about 3000 fps (or 900 m/s).
Ugh, I know it’s gonna be a waste of time but I wanna do it lol
