[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1198796, member: 4362"] I think its the result of air mass speed. The bullet is travelling too fast for all the air to go around the bullet as it would under Stokes Law so what happens is air not able to go around the bullet essentially knocks air in front of the bullet out of the way. Not only does it knock it out of the way but it also compresses it which explains the droplets forming in front. The amount of air "pushed" out of the way is a function of air density, velocity of projectile and cross sectional area of the bullet. This air mass essentially knocks a hole in the air in front of the bullet and is a reason why you needn't make adjustments when shooting in the rain because you will never hit a raindrop because of this hole that is punched in front of the bullet. Oddly enough, this blob of air increases in speed and is a function of the drag on the bullet so in a way it grows in front of the bullet. Or maybe I'm just wrong. [/QUOTE]
