At 10 bucks a round you won't be shooting a lot of them. For a professional shooter it is a novelty item but still pretty fucking cool.

Considering they're rifle rounds, rifling causes a certain spin to bullets.........

ITT people don't know bullets spin
Why would that be a problem?
For example, an M4 Carbine with a twist rate of 1 in 7 inches (177.8 mm) and a muzzle velocity of 3,050 feet per second (930 m/s) will give the bullet a spin of 930 m/s / 0.1778 m = 5.2 kHz (314,000 rpm).
314 krpm, oh. No way to correct for that digitally.
It would not be impossible correct. (I've worked in digital image processing.) There would be many difficulties such as surviving both firing and impact to transmit, which might be possible with a hard metal bullet and a soft target. Still miniaturizing everything and making a sufficiently fast tiny camera would be hard. It is also not hard to calculate the trajectory if you know the end points and barrel angle.

get this out of here. (a) april fool's, (b) promotional videos are not news.

$99.99 for a box of 10.. Ignoring the cost, this is still a retarded idea.
This is like SOLAR ROADWAYS level retarded.
And appartently, according to the slow motion Demonstration shown in the video - these "bullets" have pretty damn good optics built in to be able to capture footage at such high framerate and with so much clarity and lack of any distortion.
Solar Freaking Roadways.
Edit: april fools

I really like the idea of solar roadways. This will become a thing if we do not fall too far back into barbarism in the next 50 years.

That crystal clear footage was the nail in the coffin for me to assume it's fake.
