Remington ACR (CODMW2) Leaked Footage

You may have seen the Remington ACR in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.  This gun looks absolutely amazing, and there has been some leaked footage (from Shot Show) which is almost enough to make me move to a free state.  Enjoy the vid.

Bullet Impact: Slow Motion

Have you ever wondered what bullets look like when they impact those junk cars you are shooting in the middle of the desert different targets?  This epic video shows a variety of ammunition (shotgun pellets, rifle ammo, frangible ammo, lead pellets from an air rifle, etc.) impacting on all sorts of targets.  My best guess is that the hard surfaced targets are probably steel, and the liquid-esce targets constructed of some sort of gelatin. Hell, even the paper targets looked pretty sweet getting punched out.

I'm not sure I make the direct correlation between deep trance music and bullets impacting, but I suppose finding a single song that is damn near 10 minutes long that isn't trance would be a bit of challenge.  Check out some of the other vids by Kurzzeit including some 3D bullet impacts (glasses not included).

Sniper: Dimplomacy From 1 Mile Away

Darpa has developed a new .50 cal round that is "stabilized" for hitting targets up to a mile away.  This accomplished through the EXACTO knife program which creates a bullet which can be controlled, so to speak.  In essence the round is outfitted with fins (and a few other tricks) which keep it on course despite any weather conditions (or rocking seas).  

Pictured above is the M107 which is one of the current issue .50 cal sniper rifles.  I've fired a similar type .50 cal rifle, and to say the very least they are bad ass.  The round is so big and beefy it carries with it a ton of kinetic energy.  If a .50 cal round hits a target at center mass it will literally cause the target to explode. 

I'm putting this warning out there for the squeamish; the above video shows some insurgents getting hit by .50 cal rounds.  You can clearly see the power of the .50 cal in action.  With DARPA's new EXACTO program giving the U.S. an extra edge in the sniping world; I'm hoping Somali Pirates will think twice.
