The bb at the lower right was fired from the right and broke the globe, but bounced back when it hit the heavy center of the bulb that holds the element

This photo was taken using 100 speed film, an aperture of f3.5, a focal length of 100mm, with the film plane about 19 inches from the light bulb.  As sound trigger was used to trip the strobe.  After everything was set up, the lights were turned out, the shutter was locked open using the bulb shutter speed and a cable release, the bb gun was fired, the shutter was closed, then the lights were turned back on.  In this way, only the burst of light from the strobe recorded an image on the film.
