I was told by AFJ that the video streaming was very expensive to maintain on the link due to the large volume of hits on the video's.
I would expect the new video's will be available from this year's shootout for a period of time. The improved high speed camera used this year was capable of 150,000 frames per second and provides greater detail of the impacts into different mediums. I have seen the new footage of the APLP rounds which document characteristics in both armor and raw meat that were thought impossible by the ballistic experts. The Land Warfare bullet deployments when penetrating warm raw meat are shown to be very similar to the dramatic fragmentation patterns that take place when impacting living tissue. The same digital photography shows the same bullet design penetrating hard armors intact with very little fragmentation.
I was unable to post the digital extracts to this forum today, but hope to within the next couple of days for folks to look at.
