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.

EggSplosion I

EggSplosion II

EggSplosion III

EggSplosion IV

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.
