Impressive little camera. Image stable and upright while centered in a rotating bullet is as impressive. At $10 a shot I think I will not ne trying it any time soon.

Wonder how it would look if your bullet wasn't fully stable as in too slow a twist rate.

Neat as all get out, I would have never believed it was possible, but what real purpose does it serve other than oh cool look at this?

I've got no need for it.

There's only one need it COULD work, and that is beyond 1400 yards, where lots of glass has some trouble seeing. But that far out, I highly doubt this bullet will even get there, the BC has to be poor with that blunt meplate. And this is loaded ammo. How different is it loaded from our hand loads? A target cam, on blue tooth would still be better.

This is fueled by social media, and people sharing things. Which is what we do here, of course. But for sure enough "long range shooters" I don't see the need.

Looks like a real "gee whiz" kinda thing to me...like "gee whiz, what's this good for?"

Like JG says, it's not going to fly like a high-BC wonderslug, so it wouldn't help determine where you're actually hitting from 1600 yards. I just can't imagine a real purpose for it.

I'm just used to seeing stuff I'd never want to use or own. What's one more crazy high-tech device?

Has to be an april fools joke... no way it could record in that high speed, have BLUETOOTH TO CONNECT TO YOUR PHONE, and then download to your phone all in a few seconds before it was destroyed by impact!

Mmmm...yeah, maybe it is, huh?

Actually, I believe such a thing is technologically feasible but there'd have to be some pretty clever software to stabilize the image, the camera would have to be ultra-fast, and it would have to be able to transmit the image in real time. I don't think it would cost just ten bucks a pop. But then the question arises again: WHY???

If it's real, they won't have any problem selling them. I have absolutely no idea how they'll sell them for $10 a bullet though.

Make up some stupid tale about snipers in Afghanistan using them, and you won't be able to keep 'em on the shelves.
