Author Topic: Hormel SPAM Verses a 22 Cal. Hollow Point (Read 679 times)

This is what happens to a can of SPAM when it is hit by a 22 caliber hollow point bullet. This series was taken in the fall of 1990 for my advanced photography class. These pictures were taken in absolute darkness with the camera's shutter forced open. After the bullet passed through the can it impacted two sheets of aluminum foil, creating an electrical connection which set off a camera flash that exposed the film for 1/30,000 of a second. Each picture is of a different can of SPAM. The last picture appears to be a double exposure; sometimes the aluminum foil would rebound and set off the flash more than once.

I think the 44 would vaporize the can and the spam, but it would be cool to see

I did a can of tomato paste one time with a 44 mag 250 grain slug and it was pretty spectacular.

I have never eaten spam.

Is that nasty white goo spam or the grease it is packed in?
