In my last post. I used a .22 cal rifle. These were shot witha .17 HMR. The bullet is really tiny but travels at around 2500 feet per second. The .22 short from the last post has a velocity of around 700 feet per second. You can really tell the difference in the amount of energy expended in the egg.Although this made some cool images, it's still not the effect I'm looking for. The next attempt will be with a regular .22 with a muzzle velocity of about 1200 FPS which is in between the two examples I've posted.
The result I want is of the egg right after impact, less expanded than here but more than in the prevoius post.
In case you are wondering, I shot these outside after dark in my back lawn toward an open field as safety is most important. The doglets were safely indoors.
P.S. My wife thinks I'm nuts.
