IDIOTS!!!

Why?

[k1dude]

That is freaky. I'm not sure I understand the physics of it. Not safe. Not smart.

[packnrat]

it would be very interesting if the ice broke open and they all fell into the water below.

I thought it was really cool! I wouldn't have thought it would spin for that long, nor keep its shape so easily. Actually I guess I can see the shape thing, I shot some .40 hollowpoints into sand one time and none of them deformed even the slightest... So weird.

Maybe it's similar to putting a warm spoon onto dry ice? Heat causes the ice to turn to gas, which pushes the bullet away from the ice, letting it spin for so long. But when it cools down, it touches the ice and starts slowing down.
I'm just guessing haha

I'm thinking it has more to do with a hot bullet spinning at many thousands of RPMs melting the ice a tad when it touches it, so that the only friction is liquid water on the warm bullet.

the thickness of the ice at this point is enough to drive a convoy of tanks over.

IDIOTS!!!

Looks like a trip to the Hospital is in there future!

so a bullet hits the ice, at an angle, bounces up, then comes back down, and since its still spinning on its axis, uprights itself and continues to spin....like a child's toy "top".

I don't buy it..

Its its hard enough to repeal the bullet, the bullet will deform and its spin will be stopped by the impact.
