Prince Rupert's Drop explosion at 1mil fps, shooting tail with pellet gun.

I thought this was interesting ... to see the pellet hit the tail skip ahead to 9 mins.

Not much to do with air rifles , but these guys are amazing, and the characteristics of these Prince Rupert's drops are unbelievable.

Smarter Every Day covered Rupert's drop really well.
