    Cool video using a high speed camera capturing bullets hitting various steel plates and some other materials. It really shows how when you use the right steel, the bullet will disintegrate when it impacts, but a softer steel will allow the bullet to dent or even penetrate the steel. It's a long video, here's how it breaks down: It starts out with hard steel, then moves to soft steel, then some other materials like glass or ballistics gel, then somehow they time hitting a bullet mid-flight with a pellet. Then it goes back to bullets hitting hard steel, and finally bullets hitting silhouette steel targets. The very last minute shows shotgun pellets hitting the silhouette targets. I wish they had listed the steel grades and type of bullets each time, but still pretty cool.
