They don't have that high of a muzzle velocity; Google will tell you exactly  . You could lower the speed by loading your own ammo and cutting down on the propellant. Maybe there's a local gun club you could check out. I think Retlaw knows a lot more about this shiite than I do. My knowledge is limited to things like knowing not to use a Ruger 204 when hunting in heavy bush.  There's possibly special cameras that would do the trick, but I don't know much about photography. |
When I worked over at BP in Hull I got friendly with gun man who took me to the indoor range a few times, only pistols allowed.
He made his own bullets and I was allowed to have a shoot, I had six with a gun with a revolving chamber which nearly blew me backwards and six with a Magnum. I looked after a caravan for an old gentleman when we ran the park and he started the Burnley Gun club, he was a police man and had medals all over the place. I never got chance to visit with him though. He has since passed away.
Below are a couple of what I call my faffing about photos, taken with the little Panasonic.
You can make out the name Lumix in the reflection along with my fingers.
Fast shutter, wide aperture, no flash, thirty clicks and pick the best. All luck.
