Oh it is real. Its just ballistics. Mass x Energy. The sniper is using a 50 caliber rifle. A 50 cal. round is about 7-8 inches long and the casing is about an inch in diameter. The bullet itself is one-half inch in diameter and roughly one and one-half inches long. When a bullet that big and has enough enery to travel 1.5 miles and it hits something it explodes.
I have seen it in person on a smaller scale.
It is just a display of incredible marksmanship.
I did not mean to get sidetract. This is about growing weed! Me and mindmelted was just shootin tha shit! lol
hmm...
You seen in movies how people get shot and they fly backwards due to the impact of the bullet ?-- its a myth...doesnt happen. Bullets go right through people. And if they didnt... they wouldnt have the energy to knock people back. Bullets simply dont have enough energy to knock people back. You figure that the energy that the bullets hits you with is the SAME ammount of energy that the shooter got hit with from the butt of his rifle (actually its less cause the bullet loses energy from drag on its flight to the target). The reason people die from bullets and not from rifle butts its cause the energy on a bullet is concentrated on a small point compared to the huge area of the rifle butt hitting your shoulder.
When a rifle shoots a bullet, the bullet flies forward with a certain ammount of force, which is EQUAL to the force of the "recoil" that hits the shooter. That is why big guns have bigger recoil and can break your shoulder if you dont them properly.
Real bullets penetrate the body, and stay in the body or create a larger exit wound on the other side...
The only way you could get an exploding target, is if the target is small compared to the size of the bullet. If the target is big compared to the bullet.. the bullet goes straight through... Test this out
Anyway, to get a human to blow up at that distance.. you would need, and exploding shell.
Ok... im tired now.. going to smoke some Pinky
