KER-POW! Two different shock wave patterns emerge in this high-speed schlieren photograph of a .30-06-caliber rifle discharge. The wake of the supersonic bullet heads to the left. A much larger, spherical shock wave—a phenomenon recently made visible by advanced imaging methods—balloons from the muzzle's length. Hot gases billow from the muzzle's tip.
