The new Umarex Octane pellet rifle shoots .22 caliber pellets at
rimfire speeds with the ReAxis gas piston. These air rifles use the
SilencAir system to reduce muzzle noise. Rimfire costs 4x as much as

It's undeniable that Larry Vickers has some of the best-produced gun videos on YouTube, and this slow-motion shoot only cements that reputation. It wasn't too long ago when slow-motion gun play was isolated to just the Matrix trilogy and video games, but modern technology and the relative affordability of slow-motion cameras have brought slow motion to where it really shines: the firing range. In this video, Larry and the crew shoot .308 Winchester and .50 Raufoss rounds at two large blocks of ice.
