is it possible to see a bullet being fired?

The human eye does not have a shutter speed like a camera, but it is limited by the way it works. In the eye, light stikes a certain molecule, causing it to bend, which gives a signal to the brain. Or sight speed is limited by the speed this molecule is able to relax back to its ground state.

In the eye there is iris which works like a shutter speed. if the light intensity is high they move close to each other or move away if there is darkness.

Yes. I used to do it all the time...granted they were BIG bullets and fired from a .50 cal muzzle loader but still... I used to take turns spotting with a scope for my dad when he sighted in his rifles, and he for me. After awhile, you get used to seeing the bullets streak by.

yeah i guess and i think so, if you're not conscious of the surroundings that you're at...or else you'll lose your eye...
