Ive seen to much of this stuff for it to phase me. I wish rifles made a clean hole, the only kind of bullet that will make a clean hole is a wadcutter handgun round. Even full metal jacket will make a mess if anything organic is hit by it. Its awful what happened to him but I'm just saying when a ho...

Something is coming to mind that involves golf balls, five hundred yards, high powered rifles, hamsters, propane and a light switch.

Hmm, you would think a high powered rifle would make more blood than a lathe. Are there any doctors/medical students who can tell me if that's real? Sorry I don't mean to sound insensitive but, It looks like the special effects from scanners.

Shotgun shells are nice because you can put almost any kind of payload into it. And then when the shell is all torn up weld a nail to a few washers hot glue it in and you have a dart. I've only used them as lawn darts though.

Why build a squirrel trap for fifteen dollars when you can buy one for ten at harbor freight? My favorite way to cook squirrel is to soak it in BBQ sauce then slow cook it. P.S. I have a new high power pellet gun made for hunting and the squirrels have destroyed my garden. Also some of the squirrels...

The helmet thing is something I just recently found out and it really bothered me that me that my rifles could easily go through our army's helmets. Tomorrow if its warm enough I might cast some armor piercing rounds for a 9mm see if that goes through my helmet. By the way do you know where I could ...

With properly made saboted darts, I'm sure many basic big bore combustions would put most firearms to shame in terms of penetration (though of course lagging behind in terms of compactness, rate of fire, accuracy etc.) When you find a combustion that can penetrate the quarter inch of steel using sa...

I was good this year and got a Howa 1500 in .300 win mag. It is literally a cannon. A while back someone took me out to shoot one and it went through both sides a thick steel fence pole (about 3/16ths of an inch) with a hollowpoint. And global warming answered my brother's Christmas wish and we got ...

I wrote an essay about guns and gun laws once. it basically said the same thing. If the American politicians tried to ban guns we would have a civil war on our hands.(If anyone needs to rise up against their government for being oppressive call me) By the way I'm getting a necklace that holds a .22 ...

looks like replacement shells could be made with o rings superglue and real shell casings, either 9mm or 40sw.

Edit: I think I will be getting a simunition conversion kit for my AR-15. Thats about as real as you can get. Lol see if they would let me take that one into an airsoft game.

The caps and electric reminds me of my project that involves caps and manual cycling, but also solid propellant loaded to around 500 fps for breaking clay targets without going to far and ruining stuff.

Thanks. That confirms I'm doing it right. I'm using method three. Something else funny and scary. I pulled an extension cord pretty hard and it hit me in the face and stamped the shape of into my face so it looks like I have an electrical outlet on my face. It's two inches below my eye and two inche...
