    Yes, we have one of the camera flash systems and it does work very well. The wire is a deal breaker. Youre right splash is crazy destructive. And lets be honest, all those "1MOA all day long" shooters tend to hit everything except the target so that wire or flash would get hit. Magneto Speed...
