Original source: London hip hop station Choice FM's "Stop The Bullets. Kill The Gun" filmed for the "Peace On The Streets" campaign.

Song: "Casta Diva" from Bellini's opera "Norma"

Great video. But, I'd really like to know what type of bullet was used and what type of gun was it shot from? And from what distance? Do you happen to know about this? (I'm an writer doing some research)

@Satansbratn1

Sorry, but I don't know. However, I'm sure somebody that knows about ammo sizes could figure it out by taking relative measurements from stills in the video (e.g., by comparing the size of the bullets to the "target" dimensions).

The egg, milk, apple, ketchup, water bottle, and watermelom were the coolest ones.
