Sep 25 2007Gun + High Speed Camera = Awesome
Because shooting things is almost as much fun as stabbing them, I like guns. So why not fire some bullets through household objects and catch the action with a high speed camera. Sure, it's not a new concept, but I'm not letting that trivialize the quality of my boner right now.
Four more after the jump, including the flower I'm getting my cheating bitch of a girlfriend.
UPDATE: The photographer's name is David Neff, his flickr album can be viewed here, and his prints are available for sale if you contact him.

looks like he was a lousy shot with the pencils.

Now I know that Office Depot pencils are smarter than crayola crayons.

are there hi-def versions of these somewhere??

I'll take the bottom half of that bill...

Is it just me or does that look like it could be hung on a wall and called art?! I want one!

Some of these look fake. For instance, why would the match be already halfway lit with the bullet still in the frame?

Absolutely amazing - especially the one with the rose. We've all been "there."

That guy's a pretty damn good shot, but it was probably done with a post and mechanical aim, amirite? Still, cool as hell.
@2, lulz. They moved.
@3 & 5, I want a print of each of 'em.

I think these could make awesome prints - and the fact that he used a bullet to light the match instead of my rough & tumble beard makes him far cooler than I.

I am the photographer (David Neff) of these images. I don't know who took them without my permission but I don't mind as long as you credit me properly and link my site. Prints are available for sale. They are all real, no photoshop.

Your Flickr site is amazing. You have a ton of talent.

Well, I think David missed a trick here, surely he should have used Nerf guns? That would be brilliant.
13. Ted - September 26, 2007 5:04 AM
Oh to be able to read. Its David Neff, not Nerf. I suppose its right he didnt use nerf guns.

Fuck pencils AND crayons.

Hey David, if you are still reading - did you do one of these several years ago with an apple, or was that someone else?
16. david neff - September 26, 2007 11:47 AM
If you mean the 308 through the apple that was made by Harold Edgerton from MIT. He is the reason I do high speed imaging. check him out on google.

Everyone check out David Neff's Flickr. There's more bullet shots including my favorites, Bratz dolls being shot in the head! I hate those ugly Bratz, they should all be shot.

They should have used a five dollar bill.
HAHA!
I win again, Lincoln!

a german tv show produced a few miniclips about destruction.
Destruction + HighSpeed Cam = awesome. Check the link and click on Flash Version (under the picture)
I think the apple is the best.

because bullets don't kill things, black holes behind the bullets do.
