Faster Classic
One of my all time favorites was a shot about two years back of a clear Christmas ornament a lot like this, also water filled.
I was using a borrowed pellet rifle that probably had a pellet velocity of abot 500fps.
So I was just curious what things would look like with a faster rifle and faster pellet. This is a plastic sabot type thing with a metal tip. The plastic part separates upon impact and releases the metal tip.
You can see the orange/red "shadow of the plastic just under the flash reflection.
The faster pellet leaves a sharper angle on the wake.
Surprise.
