Nice video of penetrations in slow motion.

Lots of entry and exit holes in nice slow motion, with added bonus of penetrations itself. Only slight problem is that these are small caliber bullets and target plates aren't exactly 10+cm.

...and NO! "penetration" ain't that funny...

It really does look like a fluid simulation approach could be rather interesting. Especially since in space, surface tension would be much stronger and the debris would act even more like a very thick fluid..
Add in the higher velocity of projectiles in space, the temperature created by the impact energy should be higher as well, therefor softening the metal further..

What's good about this is you can both see that the impacts are rather fluid like and it shows how different types of damage can be formed. For instance, you can see the soft lead rounds create flower like peddles, so with a hard enough bullet you would get radial gouges you can see in at least one of the other shot's images.

Yeah, this is really really helpful video. I've been watching this for ages... Definitively going to be a very good and important reference for our team. Thanks!

This is probably the awesomes video mankind has ever created.

At this framerate it looks like water impact at slower speed.

Wow really awesome clips!!! And appropriately enough, they were shot by Germans ;P

Incredible how they got that footage, especially those little drops hitting the bullet in mid-flight... This stuff is solid gold as VFX reference!
