$10 dollars for both a disposable camera and a bullet is really an amazing price. Really cool technology. I can see all sorts of new video styles, like two bullet cams shot consecutively out of two rifles at a watermelon, the second one would show the explosion from just inches away :)

I am 99.999% sure that this is an April 1st post (that's "five nines" for the computer geeks).

Remember, Vortex commercials show their employees wearing deer scent in the office and answering the tech support phone while stomping through the woods.

This will save me lots of money on spotting scopes.
I can't wait to see images of ISIS fighters on the internet getting their heads blown off. I wonder if the camera breaks up right on impact, or if it will show a little bit of brain matter before it gets destroyed. I'm sure someone could figure out just exactly what's wrong with ISIS fighters brain then.

The coolest part is the tiny gyroscope to keep the camera from spinning!

This sounds a lot like "washing the lions" at the Tower Of London.

Lol. No bullet spin? And transmitting distance? And a battery to power the camera? Best April Fools video I've seen in a while.

Guess who spent the weekend fielding phone calls and emails from customers wanting to place orders for these?

Yeah.

Bwahaha. Would love to hear about some of the calls once told these can't exist.

What is max distance? Would like a set for my 338 Lapua Magnum for a 1 mile shot! Don't think it will go very far though.

I'm on Hornady's pro staff and we had to return our samples.
