The recoil shockwave of the .577 Tyrannosaur visibly travels through one of the Slow Mo Guys’ back muscles. It really emphasis the felt recoil of that monster.
At 82,000 frames a second, you can see a flash of light from bullet impact as it enters the ballistics gel. They talk about naming this “The Kentucky Effect.”
The bullet sucks the fireball from the initial shot in, then the collapsing cavitation of the gel reignites the gases.

The “wound channel” looks like a spitzer bullet that grows to the size of an artillery projectile as the .577 passes through the gel block.
If the lawyer from Jurassic Park had hid in the outhouse with this war club, he would today be admiring a full mount of the T-Rex at a Museum of Natural History.
At the risk of sounding morbid, this fireball effect is also seen in a contact wound, where the firearm’s muzzle is placed directly against the skin as the round is ignited.
Trayvon Martin instantly broke off his attack against George Zimmerman when the latter pushed his 9 mm Kel-Tec against Martin’s torso and discharge a single round. Not only did the bullet entered the abdominal cavity—hot gasses and unburned powder were similarly introduced there.
