.38 caliber bullet shatters on hitting Prince Rupert's drop - GIF

How powerful vibration can be to take a bullet before it resonates to death at 223368 frames per second.

Interesting to watch the glass stem begin to shatter from the base, then propagate to the spot the bullet hit.

How do they get video footage like that?

The gauge is embedded in the upper RH corner of the video. it is easily viewable from anywhere in the world... :)

But tap it ever so slightly on that tadpole tail, and it will be the one to explode.
