Description
This shadowgram captures an instant during the firing of a .30-06 high-powered rifle. The propulsion gases (right, in blue) and a spherical muzzle-blast wave (center) are shown, to the left of which travels the bullet at supersonic speed with sweptback waves. Hundreds of tiny supersonic particles, most likely unburned gunpowder, follow the bullet. The image is exposed for only 1 microsecond in order to freeze the motion. This is a colorized version of a monochrome original image.
