I don't know if this program is still around, but I remember a few years before I moved from the UK to the US ( I moved here 3 years ago) you where able to register for retina scanning back in the UK as a faster way to get through customs as a British Citizen. Anyone know if this died off or not?
Thank god for the random improbability drive... black stuntships and old hitchhikers.. but yes the ship all black is a little dull and dreary the affect works well though
It very well could be, though all.22 that I've ever fired where black tipped. So I wouldn't quite have that advantage. But I can think of an instance where yes I probably have seen reflection of light over longer distances. More so when we where doing night shoots on the ranges.
I know this is going a while back but:
"I've also heard that trained marksmen can see bullets in flight. Makes sense to me...that over a long distance, right behind a projectile, you might be able to see it in flight. I know that I have thought I have seen a projectile after shooting a rifle, but I chalk that up to my imagination"
Having spent 3 years on my counties shooting team,.22, 5.56mm and 7.62mm, I can say that yes it is possible to see the path of the bullet having fired, be this from dust swirls cause by the vacuum behind it, or a heat trail, you see a nice swirl behind it. Then again at 1 mile range theoretically depending on the round of ammunition used it could be possible to see the bullet itself, take for instance a large subsonic round.
