Today we have yet another death of a water balloon. In this instance the water balloon was static and was shot instead of being dropped.

Materials
A helium balloon filled to roughly 80% of capacity with water.
The standard fare of backgrounds.
Yet another wimpy BB gun.

Procedure
After determining proper placement and aim, shoot.

Result
The result on this shot is particularly interesting. We have a few things that are note worthy. First is the manner in which the skin of balloon tears as a result of the puncture. Secondly we have the behavior of the water at the point of impact. The ripping of the skin is interesting because it is not a simple split, instead it appears to split itself into thirds. Since the backside is not viewable it is hard to establish the precise pattern of the rip. Another interesting characteristic of the rip is the water that it pulls along with it. Similar behavior is also interesting to note in the impact point. One can see the water puckering and splashing outward in a manner similar to that of a drop of water splashing into a puddle. Another interesting thing to note is the length of time the water holds the shape of the balloon before collapsing and the manner in which it collapses.

Further Study
It would be interesting to acquire a four head camera for the purpose of capturing the balloon from multiple angles to determine the precise way in which it rips.
