Early April Fools?

Edit: shit, thats the same thing all the yt comments are saying.

What a colossal waste of a hundred bucks if it is real. Now if it gave data like MV along the entire trajectory I might be interested but this just seems stupid. I hope it is an aprils fools joke.

i can tell you with almost 100% certainty this is a joke.

not only does the technology not really exist to compact a camera down to the size of a bullet, and affix it with a power supply, and a transmitter, and make it robust enough to survive the force of being shot.....for $100.

that bullet is going to be spinning at several thousand RPM.......that image would be a constant blur.....also, time of flight is going to be fractions of a second.....

The preview image of the video is 5 rounds showing and 1 pulled out of the box denoting 4/1. Definitely April Fools.
