I believe that the red/orange in the glasses is the reflection of the orange vest that the photographer is wearing; the angle of the sun-glass lens is about right.

Interesting. The definition of “Chud” has been deleted. (Cannabalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller)

All of the hype for the movie told people not to reveal what CHUD stood for, but everyone thought they knew. Actually, CHUD stood for 'Chemical Hazards for Urban Disposal'. The bad-guys were dumping hazardous waste into the sewers, which led to the mutations they were calling CHUDs.

That “goofball” grip is how millions of properly trained people handle a pistol. My training comes from LEO and ex-military members who would not allow unsafe practices.

Whatever works. Handgun grip technique evolves. I was taught a similar two-hand grip technique many years ago. Left thumb on the left hand tucked downward and wrapped around the right middle finger; right thumb over the base of the left thumb.

Both thumbs resting alongside the slide is something relatively recent and "newfangled".

Anyone with knowledge of the weapon he is firing....Does it have a laser? I ask because if you do a close up of the victims sunglasses you can see a red dot. (laser or bullet entering eye?)

No laser. Red Dot Optic with a flashlight.

Cameras absolutely CAN capture a bullet in flight, in high definition.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=70ITPdXzQqg.

Please bear in mind these are 7.62x39 rounds travelling at 2250 feet per second. A 9mm pistol round travels much slower at 1200ish feet per second and a .45 flys at approximately 850 fps.

There are certainly cameras that can do it, they just cost as much as a new car and they aren’t on every street corner.

Apologies for a non working link, I never got the technique for posting a working one, but you should check out that video. It’s excellent

Yes, of course you can get those kinds of images with a high speed camera. Those cameras have purpose built sensors with super high sensitivity that allow exposure times down to a handful of microseconds or less. They are designed specifically for doing slow motion analysis with minimal time smearing. The images from the Denver shooting were not shot with that kind of camera. Instead that was a video camera with an exposure time probably in the tens of milliseconds. You can tell it’s a relatively long exposure because, as I said before, even slow moving objects like the victim’s foot are noticeably blurred. A bullet would have appeared as an extremely elongated blur at that shutter speed.

I was not aware that this was from a movie, thanks!

What do they say? Communists and Socialist do not intend to persuade or inform, they intend to humiliate and intimidate. The language is offensive and derogatory and intended to be so.

While you do not learn anything about the object of their abuse (us), you do learn something about the nature of the originator of the abuse. (They are A holes.)

There is no "correct way". There is the way that works for you. And there is the way you copy from someone else, and change. And there is the way restricted by the rules of the game you are playing.

The only wrong way is a movie ghetto grip, and I don't fix it for people I don't like. Maybe they will do it in a real gun fight, and increase the probability of a miss.
