[QUOTE="lerch, post: 120921, member: 3115"] That is a pretty **** interesting statment. From what I have seen of "bullet trace" what you have described is exactly what I have thought it to be. I have always noticed a more pronounced trace in certain lighting conditons, morning sun with the light coming from behind you, and in very calm conditions where the compressed air would be more stationary. As for the compression of molecules on the forward area of the bullet would their not be a kind of maximum point of this happening. Where it would happen on both bullets fired at the same speed. though it would happen to the faster bullet quicker it would also happen to the slower bullet though it would take a little longer. IF both bullets were identical I would think that the amount of substance catching on the forward end would be the same and though it would happen to the faster bullet sooner due to its speed the bonding would reach its maximum amount faster also leading to both bullets reaching the max amount of bonding and then becoming equal again. I would think that the initial velocity advantage of the faster bullet would still prevail since both bullets would be comprimised in the same amount. Like I said if anyone here looked at my math scores in college you would know i have no place in this conversation but I figured what the hell, gotta learn some how. take it easy steve [/QUOTE]
