Note the bullet hole in the upper left corner
The dark item next to it is the motionless hand of the dead Order member

From that view, you can't really see if it's like a bullet hole or just a shatter point. If the edge of the lens came down on a rock it may have gotten a section broken out like that.spiff5000 wrote:[image]

You can hear it at 1:33. Also, there was no one around to hit him (Bree had her back to him).spiff5000 wrote:...by the way, how do we even know it was a gunshot, and not a quick blow to the head or something else...
Watch the video again. You'll see cracks in the lens originating from the bullet hole as he's falling to the ground.Lurker wrote:From that view, you can't really see if it's like a bullet hole or just a shatter point.

I'm thinking it fell on a rock and that the bullet hit the Order member. I think a bullet would have probably caused more damage than that to a camera lens too.

Omg that is exactly what I was thinking and about to post...Completely agree...megs229 wrote:** Please pay attention: If the camera was shot then why would the camera person fall to the ground and remain motionless?? Also if the camera were shot, I believe that the bullet would go a bit farther than just the lense and destroy the whole thing. Actually the camera would probably just shatter into many pieces to be honest.
Well, I believe that the bullet HIT something on or near the camera that sent strong enough vibrations that even the LENS cracked. There is no way a bullet hit the lens directly unless ... I dunno...Jo_16_2 wrote:well, it could have hit a "hollow" part of the camera, so it just hit the lenses, although there was some "malfunctions" in the last part. but well, this is fiction so, not everything is perfect
But why would the cracks form during the fall (you can hear the lens shatter at 1:34, after the fall has started and after the gunshot)? If the bullet did it, shouldn't the cracks have appeared when we heard the gunshot and as the fall began?spiff5000 wrote:Watch the video again.

Because the sound of the gunshot itself would travel faster than the bullet. The sound would reach the camera's microphone before the bullet strikes the camera/Order member. That's why you hear the gunshot first before the lens cracks.Lurker wrote:But why would the cracks form during the fall (you can hear the lens shatter at 1:34, after the fall has started and after the gunshot)?

Isn't it the other way around? Bullets are supposed to travel faster than their sound waves, correct?colorofsakura wrote:Because the sound of the gunshot itself would travel faster than the bullet.

I may be wrong, as I DID have to retake Physical science, but if you go faster than the speed of sound, isn't that breaking the sound barrier? And wouldn't that mean that there would be a sonic boom?Lurker wrote:Isn't it the other way around?

In any case, even were the opposite true, that wouldn't explain why the camera was already falling when its lens shattered.
No, that's correct. Guns produce sonic booms when they fire. As far as it goes, even cracking a whip produces a sonic boom.PixieSailor wrote:I may be wrong, as I DID have to retake Physical science, but if you go faster than the speed of sound, isn't that breaking the sound barrier?
