Two old obsolete satellite receivers were due to be disposed of, so various air cannons, barrels, and projectiles were called into service. Starting with two shotgun loads based on .177 steel BB's, I then switched to lead slugs, aluminium slugs, glass marbles, and a big finned 25 mm dart. The receivers were shredded by all these projectiles. Slow motion recorded at 480 frames/sec.
