[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 385706, member: 16749"] Fixed it for you. Or would have if this forum supported the “strikeout” tag. It's clear that they've made a very poor attempt at deception here. Their product may or may not perform as they claim, but their use of images of a BB fired from a BB gun to support their claims about how normal speedlights would fail, and their product would succeed, at capturing high-speed bullets, is outright fraudulent. I have to think they've engaged in some deception, even, to get the image showing a speedlight failing to stop a BB. I have little doubt that a BB would be moving slowly enough for a normal speedlight to capture it just fine. In fact, I have a distant memory of a friend of mine taking pictures of .22 bullets in flight, and I am fairly sure that he used a normal speedlight for that. I think your estimate of how fast that BB could be moving is on the generous side—realistic, perhaps, for a high-end air rifle, but those don't shoot BBs; they shoot special lead pellets that are very distinctly different from BBs. In fact, you'd damage an air rifle if you used BBs in it. Pictured here, some .177 caliber air rifle pellets. [ATTACH=CONFIG]126634._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]126633._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
