I often brought my Leica along when going to the range in case I scare up some wildlife while trudging down the hill to the secluded target area. I tried using the Leica's fast shutter response to get shots of muzzle flash, splintered bowling pin targets, smoke, flying brass cartridge cases and even freezing a bullet in flight. My reaction time must be pretty slow as I haven't had too much success, unless I shot a bunch of shots and got lucky a few times. As to freezing a bullet in flight, it must require more shutter speed than the M4-2's capability. Cheap ammo is as necessary as cheap film; let's you shoot more without guilt.
