Dammit. I wanted to hear the gun. Not some sad bastard music.

@LibertyPrime1982 - for future reference.. high speed camera's used for true slow motion like this video, don't capture sound. the effect is the same thing as pressing the mute button... If you have heard the videos with the awful audio from just slowing down the clip (rather than using a HS Camera), true high speed at 600 to 1200 frames per second would be noting more than inaudible noise. which is why high speed cameras don't capture sound.

dude, no offense, but when doing a weapon movie, gun sounds are like the MOST IMPORTANT THING

@DieBittereWahrheit dude, 300 frame per second high speed video has no sound

the guy with the buckets reflexes suck

[weaponeer]

@BackInAGiffy - everyone looks the same way when viewed at 600 frames per second

@weaponeer What is so hard about understanding that highspeed cameras dont capture sound.

I'm not the hardcore-expert for weapons, but as far as I'm concerned, the sten gun was not really reliable. I read that - because it was so cheap - the quality suffered, and things like single rounds being fired when the gun falls to the ground happen ... or that the gun jammed, because the mags weren't the best ...
