Nope, wrong on all accounts!  :biggrin:

I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet. 
 

Looks like something in motion, something spinning. Possibly a hubcap?

Nope, no spinning!

 

 

Should you guys not be able to solve it till evening I'll tell you what it is.  ;)

Macro close up of a camera lens?

Nope, no lenses, no glass-anything.

Looks like a drop of water, the moment it hits the surface.

No water! 

 

Hint: the shiny surface is chromed steel.

Lifting weights?

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

Ok, time to solve the riddle. Its a shotgun slug inside a chrome lined shotgun barrel, viewed from the muzzle.  :grin:

Dammit, I actually thought it was a bullet because, well, it's you. But I googled to be sure and I couldn't find any bullets that had anything that looked like that. :p

Yeah, the projectile has got spirals on its head to make it spin through air friction, makes it more accurate out of a shotgun barrel that has no rifling. They work somewhat like tank cannon rounds which are smoothbore as well.
