Bullets at 1,000,000 frames per second

Amazing.





When I was younger I used to watch a cartoon called Robotech, in the opening credits these mile-long alien space ships would be getting cored by space lasers and would explode from the inside, bursting like overripe fruit, and splattering all over the solar system. I always thought it was just crazy anime science fiction, until I saw this. At about 5:13, you see ballistic gelatin being exploded by rifle rounds, and I saw a childhood of badly dubbed VHS tapes from in that moment.


Specifically, 1:16 here. Can Japanese animators see at a million frames a second?




I see that clip in my head a lot.

Just don't tell my doctor.
