Namarrgon posted:How the hell is a bullet fired straight up in the air not lethal? I'm pretty sure that if a terminal velocity bullet drops straight down on the top of your head it'll go right through your weak little skull. Based on their lab tests they concluded the terminal velocity of the bullet they were testing to be 100mph. Far lower than the 300 that the article above notes. So in their tests it did not break through the skull. This speed is probably heavily dependent on bullet used as well as whether or not it deformed in the firing.

That vid clip is really low resolution and it actually appears to be slightly doctored. When you blow out the levels, there is some pretty significant artifacting in the areas of concern, which looks like someone may have gone over it with the stamp tool or content fill in PS. Though it's so low res it's hard to tell. Do you have the actual video? edit: the resolution is so low it could actually be obscuring the details they are pointing out to the extent that they don't show up in the image. You can't see any of the stone work at all. It's like a blank facade. pistolshit fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Aug 26, 2011 |

I blew out the high/low channels and increased the contrast/brightness and you can definitely make out the ghost of those details in the stonework. It's just too low resolution to see on the image as is and the arrows (and their subsequent compression artifacting) obscure even more of the detail above the smallest arch.

Ah, I wasn't thinking of it from a utility perspective, just a big projects perspective. Lack of utility in the more dictatorial examples does make sense.

Vladimir Putin posted:Yeah, but what do the two have in common in appearance other than the fact that they are alomst the same color? Of course both will be immaculately clean and placed on a store shelf in upright and forward-facing orientation for careful consideration prior to being picked up.
