Video of shooting Glow Sticks at Night

[SkeeterHawk]

I have been planning on doing this forever, and finally got a chance to do so. Here is a video of shooting glow sticks at night...and the resulting "fall out", or "dribble out".

Here is a link to the video:

It took me a few shots to get my POI just right, so I shot a few of them twice to make sure that I broke up all of the insides sufficiently.

I did this as a competition when I was on the swat team. Me and the other sniper had a glow stick each hanging on the target. Goal was to stand behind rifle, drop down and shoot it before the other guy. I got the first shot off and heard alot of commotion from the peanut gallery watching. I looked over the scope and saw that I shot the other guy's glow stick. I then shot mine all before he even got a shot off. He was my elder by a decent amount so his excuse was he had trouble finding his target. This was all about 50-60 yards prone. Remington .308s. We are limited to a very short range

Ooooo nicccce!!
While camping I use these to make glow trails/perimeter markings. used to: Cut em open after activation and tossing them at each other is a blast too. Butttttt dont get it on you. There's little glass slivers in there(that vial you break)fun nonetheless bc you can cut some and throw them which makes a spectacular glwoing mist that lands and makes the ground look like a blanket of stars. If done right(also near water)you can make it look like you are encapsulated in a galaxy

I played a giant 3 day paintball battle where we had guys using infared glow stick juice on the head guys of the opposing team so they could hunt them down at night with their night vision goggles. Got extra points for high ranking player eliminations.

It certainly was, but the first one was really hard to hit, and as @Joedirt199 mentioned, these things are practically invisible until you hit it. My POI was off a bit, but I got lucky and hit it right away.

Thanks for that. It was fun to watch.
I am betting it was more fun to do.
