Ok before you tell me "STFU and SEARCH", this is different than the ideas people were having to put lasers in bullets or on arrows.
Anyhow here goes.
I shoot some ol lever actions that fire big bullets at pretty low FPS. My plinking loads are .38 special and out of the rifle they fly at probably 1000fps. They also don't kick much if any. When the light catches the bullets right you can see them fly through the air for a split second. Would there be some sort of way to rig up a laser with a beam expander to shine down the path of the bullet and light it up for a portion of its flight? A laser strong enough to light the bullet up brightly when it hits it but not strong enough to have a visible beam in expanded form. What I can't work out though is how one would be able to get the laser to be parallel to the bullet path since the barrel is in the way.
No practical use but it would look cool as heck. Think I can somehow get it to work with one of my 445s?
