Hi. The soldier firing the shot..... the ejected round is definitely empty. The projectile is gone. 5.56mm casings are much longer than rounds from handguns.

I can't answer you about how these photos been made, but one thing
catched my eye on the Sharpshooter photo that maybe will give you
the answer:
I don't think the Sharpshooter photo is an action pano.
A Sharpshooter should freeze and be very steady before he will
press the trigger (enough time to take all the pictures needed for
the panorama).
But, and here is what I think I discovered: look at the ejected
bullet after supposedly a signal shot... This is NOT an empty
Shell! It still has the projectile (bullet) attached to it. Could
be placed there in a photo editing software.
The same goes for the "Category 3s line up for Criterium" photo;
they are holding the position, so it is possible to take few photos
and stitch them tougher to a pano.
And for the "Birds" well, this is an action pano for real, could be
two photos taken as a burst will panning and tracking on the flight
Gil.
--Friends,
I've been trying to figure this out, but have not gotten very far.
How are action panos made?
Take these, for example:

http://www.digitalphotocontest.com/photodisplay.asp?photoid=281993
http://www.digitalphotocontest.com/photodisplay.asp?photoid=277564
I've attempted a few panos, and I know they take some time to set
up! I mean, just to line up the shot (and make sure the AE LOCK is
on...) takes time in itself, not to mention all the other bells
that the cameras have! It seems that either the subject would have
moved by the time I take the picture! I am intrigued!
Could anyone share their strategies for taking action panos?
Thanks again,
GB
