Shot Fired From Ak-47 Using Schlieren Photography




You Will Be Assimilated:

Shot fired from an AK-47 using Schlieren photography. This method “involves shining collimated light past a knife edge onto a target, and variations in the refractive index of moving air create ‘shadows’ of a sort in the image captured on film…[I]t’s most often used to solve aeronautical air-flow problems, or weapons in action.”

Via Gizmodo who has a gross, yet fascinating, picture of a cough using the same technology.
