While preparing for my club's monthly meeting tomorrow night as fire dangers rapidly escalate in my region, I found some research done by the National Forest Service on bullet types and wildfire risks. Hoping to start a thread on it elsewhere so we're all educated, but the following quote in researcher speak certainly belongs here:
"In the study a high-speed video camera was used at frame rates of 8,000 to 100,000 frames per second to attempt to capture impact fragmentation and impact flash. Usually the camera was positioned from behind the bullet as it was fired. Researchers found that a camera placed in front of the bullet lasted only one series before being destroyed by a fragment."
