Has anyone yet verified that photograph of the bullet going by Trump?
I'm interested in finding out if it was real.
Assuming it was taken with an ultra HD video camera, the fastest normal video speed, even for recording sports, is 60 frames per second. If the video recording was made at 4K UHD and reasonable speed more for standard filming for TV or internet posting (or news reporting), it would be 30 frames per second.
Assuming the bullet has a velocity of 3,200 feet per second, which is typical for an AR-15 with .223 ammunition. At 60 frames per second, the bullet would spend 0.01666 seconds between video frames. During each video frame, the bullet would travel 53.33 feet.
Using Trump's head for scale, which may be 8" to 10" front to back in that video capture image. Zoomed in like that, the bullet would leave essentially a streak across the photo 53.33 feet length. The bullet streak in the photo, from start to finish, doesn't seem like it's longer than possibly 6 feet at most, even when assuming using high speed UHD camera at 60 frames per second.
If the video camera captured it at a more typical 30 frames per second, the bullet would travel 106.66 feet between frames, so it would have appeared as nothing but a line going across the entire video frame. There would be no bullet detail... but just a solid streak line from edge to edge of the video.
Can someone prove me wrong?
Even if the video camera was operating at a VERY high 120 frames per second (which would only be needed if you wanted to play back in slow motion for some reason). the bullet would still travel more than 26 feet between frames. Again, it doesn't look like the bullet streak in the photo is more than 6 foot length maximum. The camera operator would have to be shooting at 500 frames per second to even make the image look like what was captured on film. At that speed, the images would be dark and the video result would look terrible, plus it would require an enormous amount of digital memory.
Any camera bugs out there that want to chime in? Was the photo of bullet passing by Trump possible? Does that look realistic to you?

Video Photo of Bullet
excellent high effort write up.
Motion blur has more to do with the shutter speed than framerate.
You can vary the shutter speed relative to the framerate any which way you want, to produce more or less blur.
But apparently it was a photo and not a video? Those odds are indeed very low.
either way, I believe this was faked.
