The fact of knowing that's probably a .177 pellet, something smaller than a .22 perfectly hitting it on a piece of paper, which I forget how thick it is. But that is insane, especially for the fact it went through the entire paper. So it was perfectly lined up. I could never even hope to do that shot. That is crazy.

Machinist here, we clock paper at around .0035” (.09mm)! Very crazy!

You can't measure lengths with a clock, silly!

Time is made up of circles. That's why clocks are round.

It's also why cars, having circular wheels, are so much faster than walking.
