Shooting Razorblades with a Pellet Rifle

Ever try shooting something very thin with a pellet gun? With enough tries you'll hit it, but what does it look like when seen in slow motion? (Note: I never claim to be a super-marksman, or that my pellet guns are more powerful than yours) I haven't found anyone trying to shoot a razor with a .177 pellet- I'm sure it's been done. I've seen a few really good .22 shot at knives on YT.
Here we shoot several thin objects: a 1/4" thick note pad, a thin piece of cardboard (shipping box), a CD and a razorblade.




-
The CD surprised me because when hit on the edge, it did not explode, shatter, crack, or splinter. It just chipped it slightly. Many of the shots I took, I had not realized I even hit it at all. Give this one a try sometime. The polycarbonate CD apparently is very strong laterally, probably to prevent the CD from exploding when spinning up. I shot the CD with a 600 Ft/Sec Shanghai air rifle. I did not try to shoot it with my new Winchester 800X (800 ft/sec), which I haven't gotten completely used to yet.
-
If you are going to shoot a razorblade, use some caution. The fragments can go flying all over the place, so not only do you need to protect your eyes, you'll need to find all the pieces so no one steps on them later on.
-
All these shots were done at relatively close range, around 12 feet. I used both a 600 ft/sec Shanghai rifle and a 800 ft/sec Winchester 800x.

argh, i thought this guy was gonna split the pellet by hitting the edge of the razor... waste of time.

@cwross1976 Maybe instead of crying like a little bitch you should have watched the video

[briggun22]

Meh my 500fps Airsoft rifle will do that cleaner.

[taofledermaus]

@briggun22 Well.. uh... my 2400fps SKS will do that even cleaner.. there!

i have a lumix (panasonic) FZ47 if i go into the settings im suppose to be able to control the shutter speed, and the range is from 30fps to 20,000fps, wich makes absoluteley no sense o.o the instruction manual says absoluteley nothing, im disapointed.

[taofledermaus]

@masicklazik Shutterspeed is measured in seconds, so the camera probably can allow you to adjust the shutter's speed from 1/30th of a second to 1/20,000th of a second. The faster the speed, the darker the image will look since it isn't letting as much light in, BUT it will reduce motion blurs big time. Slow motion is measured in frame rate so I think you are stuck at 30 fps. Panasonic makes great cameras, I have one too.

@usernamen0tfound I've got a lot of firearm videos.  I'll have to shoot a stack of CD's with an AK for you.

wimpy

[Netminder4Life]

you were just shooting the broad side of the thin object not the thin part of it

[cwross1976]

@usernamen0tfound make a teeny tiny hole. it would hurt but you would defintely live.

[cwross1976]

@briggun22 phht, airsoft... (skoffing...)

[Torture97]

@taofledermaus well my 3000fps 300wsm will do it even cleaner!

@bugz000 You obviously have not been shot by an airsoft gun. Getting shot at 500 FPS with (what I am guessing) a .20 gram BB will hurt like a bitch. I've been shot point blank with a gun that is only 340 FPS and the skin was penetrated and was bleeding like heck. It hurt extremely bad, made me scream and jump around. They hurt a lot more than most people think would.

@taofledermaus My 1500fps air rifle or any other gun will do that as well as both of your guys guns.. But I can actually hit my target.

[bugz000]

@briggun22 retard, with the weight of a plastic ball going at 500 fps - you can shoot me point blank and it would just sting, airguns are designed to have the pellet break up on impact - theyre hunting guns, everyone who says a fucking toy BB gun is better than an airgun makes me laugh - i'll quite happily stand downrange while you shoot your toy, will you let me shoot you with my "pellet gun"? (look up the Logun S-16) - didn't think so.
