I don't like red Jelly Bellies
 
The moment before impact







 

This image shows the moment before the impact of an air pistol pellet, traveling at about 450 feet per second, on an unsuspecting red Jelly Belly. They taste SO bad, they deserve what they get.

This (and subsequent images) were taken with an old EG&G Microflash, triggered via microphone. The Jelly Belly is sitting on a golf tee, clamped to a fixture on the lab bench.
