Pretty cool shots of the smoke, flames and bullet as the gun is fired.

Greetings
With one of the high speed/tech picture rigs you just look back through the "thousand frames per second" and find the one you like the best. It is all computerized so I guess there may not really be waht I would call a frame anymore.
