How Rifle Ammunition Works — Amazing CGI Animation
What happens inside a rifle chamber and barrel when a cartridge fires can’t be seen by the naked eye (unless you are a Super-Hero with X-Ray vision). But now, with the help of 3D-style computer animation, you can see every stage in the process of a rifle round being fired.
In this amazing video, X-Ray-style 3D animation illustrates the primer igniting, the propellant burning, and the bullet moving through the barrel. The video then shows how the bullet spins as it flies along its trajectory. Finally, this animation shows the bullet impacting ballistic gelatin. Watch the bullet mushroom and deform as it creates a “wound channel” in the gelatin. This excellent video was commissioned by Czech ammo-maker Sellier & Bellot to demonstrate its hunting ammunition. The design, 3D rendering, and animation was done by Grafické studio VLADO.

Wow! 50% ‘ish’ energy loss at only 300 m? More importantly, the bullet has slowed down to a mere 1807 fps (551 m/s)??? That’s astounding, and will have a dramatically reduce terminal performance! I hunt a mix of dark timber AND open fields, don’t think I could ethically hunt with a bullet like this in a 308. Guess I’ll stick with Spitzer and pointy tipped spitzers like the Barns TSX or TTSX.
I get that you like the eye candy and imagination in this. But that’s all it is.
w/resp to the most basic internal ballistics, it’s neither accurate, nor detailed.
