Different thing - shrapnel from exploding rounds vs hitting the actual bullets. Headline implies the plane ran into its own bullets by flying faster than them, but what happened was a single incident where a pilot fired a burst, did an high speed loop, and on the way down flew through the cloud of bullets - which had slowed down due to air friction, but the speeding plane flew through them faster than a bullet.

That's amazing.

OK that's cool.

I was at Udvar Hazy and one of the restorers was poking around a Devastator or similar behind ropes. He was bored and talked to us a while about restoring planes. Lot of fabrication. That was right after the Concorde arrived and the whole area reeked of jet fuel from it.

They put a government grade box on an S10.

Everything anyone manufacturers is just other parts but remixed.

My god that is a prize

I've VF-1 at home 🤓

Whoa, that's a kickass setup! I assume you built it yourself?

Yeah :) Made of wood, tape, spit and dreams. There's a dedicated project page if this is of interest for you: https://simpit.dev/ (there are also links to YT and whatever)
