Back when I shot USPSA, there was a fella that brought his camera out to nearly every match in the area. Bullet streaks were not the goal, he was there for action shots of the competitors, for free.
The bullet streaks happened on a fairly regular basis. The flight time of that bullet, as well as being supersonic wouldn't have allowed the photographer to click the button fast enough to capture that moment. Unless he was wearing a radio and took a huge burst shot on cue, it's far more likely it happened organically even if he was there to capture Geotus slumped on the stage. It would have been easier to pluck a frame from video of the cranium explody moment than to time a still shot revolving around supersonic flight time and the actual time period between cue and hammer fall.
Just to throw this out there..

Streaks are normal…. If they had captured a clear projectile I’d call BS.
