Wickerprints.....you're correct.....to "freeze" a fast moving object you must use a short duration pulse of light as the sole light source at which point shutter speed is almost irrelevant. For a bullet you probably need a flash duration of 1/20,000 sec. orless to"freeze it"


Commonly used camera flashes in manual mode will shorten the flash duration as you dial the power down but of course the light output gets lower as well. That is why many who photograph things like hummingbirds will use severalflash units synchronized together.


The point of this postis merely that you can actuallyhand hold a camera and be ableto captureeven a blurred image of such a fast moving object. The timing is a guess and I had to shoot about 100 frames to get 2 that showed the projectiles in flight.


It CAN be done but requires some lucky timing or many repeated attempts.
