This one is kewler.

Update: Dave (check the comments) found the website where this picture came from. The Sports Shooting site for the German firm Dornier.

The pictures, as received by me, had their markings removed, and came with false attribution. I've fixed that by adding the data back in, and linking to the site (which, as Dave notes, has more kewl stuff on it). I'm cool with fair use, but I don't like people sending me things that have been sterilized - the sender of these was victimized, too. Regardless, what was up yesterday, wasn't fair use, and the Armorer regrets the abuse. Always feel free, if we post something here you know belongs to someone else and we don't atttibute it properly, to let me know, in the comments or in email.

Okay, the pressure wave of being supersonic is what makes the 'ring of smoke'. But why is the smoke blue in the second photo?

I dunno, false color from the imaging? The color value of the flash? JTMYATQ?

Probably "powder burn" At close range, victims of gun shot wounds will have tell tale powder burns from the heated powder residue being ignited during firing. Good chance the blue coloration is from heat dissipation and powder Just my educated guess.

Ya know, I actually doubted you that the second pic would be cooler. Then I clicked the link. I was wrong, and I apologize :-)
