Beautiful or cruel? Probably both.
To be precise, there is beauty to the natural laws of physics exemplified by these videos and of related phenomena.
But the application of such, for military technologies, death and destruction is quite horrendous. The suffering caused by such technologies (eg. fragmenting bullets) mean that not only would permanent and devastating damage to the human victim be inevitable (death would be merciful), but that unmitigatable pain and suffering would be inevitable.
If only mankind would be willing to apply such technologies and efforts towards healing, evolution, love and cosmoethics instead of destruction, pain and suffering.
