Description

A typical result at different time steps of the flight trajectory of a 7 mm diameter projectile is shown in the video. First, the projectile is accelerated by the blast wave generated by the explosive. The projectile’s initial trajectory is hidden by the flash of the detonation.
After its passage through the opaque gas cloud, the first appearance of the projectile is captured. A straight trajectory can be tracked. At the end of its straight flight in the air, the position of the projectile impact on the target is recorded.
