    That happens with reloads a lot, when they cheap out on the propellant.

      I can regularly see .45 acp go through it's entire flight path outdoors at 25 yards. It's pretty cool calling others shots before they hit I can't see the faster 9s, but I can see .40s as well.

        Are you shooting Reloads? It happens to me sometimes if I reload bunny fart rounds so my son can shoot my 1911. The bullet is so slow you can see it shining under low light condition. Specially if there is a spotlight focused on your Target.

I had her rapid a few times just to watch them. We tried the same thing with the 9mm, but I was only able to see it a few times. It was moving much faster. Just thought I would share, it's pretty exciting to see.

                  Haha....When in the academy, I had a shotgun slug go about 20 ft.....the range staff thought I flinched or something, but the slug was un harmed.

                  I have seen a 45 round tumble after about 40 yards...it weird to see.

                    Well of course you can see the bullets! How do you think I catch them in my teeth?!

                      with enough coffee in me, even if i couldn't see the bullets flying... at least it'd be nice to think i did. next... i'll be catching flies in mid flight with chop sticks.
