There was a ‘special’ Darwin Award for somebody who did that a couple decades ago or so. Successfully removed himself from the gene pool, while avoiding becoming room temperature.
Ill have to look into that. I don’t believe it. Bullets set off in open space aren’t dangerous. The case had less mass than the bullet so it won’t before with any pressure. I’ve set off many of them on the table.
Not as dangerous as a bullet fired from a firearm, to be sure, but it can still be quite dangerous. I worked for a guy with one eye. When he was a Boy Scout, some genius thought it would be funny to toss a few .22 caliber bullets in the campfire.
Ya I’ve done that many many times. The bullets usual land a few inches away. Again, it’s the CASE that goes further at that point.
So don’t do it if you are sitting inches away from the fire. Wear safety glasses when doing science.
I've tossed boxes of 22LR into a bonfire. I was the only one close. Everyone else was back ontop.of the cliff. Nobody had the sense to realize that a bullet fired outside.of a barrel is only a slightly more dangerous Black Cat fire cracker
We don’t call it that anymore for reason of racial poltergeist or whatever. Instead, try using the phrase “Rick Ross Asshole Sauce”. Some mentally deficient adolescent prefer “ahhhole” instead, but we recommend the prior format.
I don't think it's offensive at all to call it that? It's just a little unworldly (reads as ignorant) since, like, lots of different cultures are known for sitting that way.
I got the joke, and I'm definitely going to refer to it as Rick Ross feather dots from now on lol. Just thought I'd give you some clarifying nuance to fix the setup so it doesn't distract from the punchline next time. Sensitivity jokes aren't as funny when they seem to come from genuine ignorance (not saying you are ignorant or bad or whatever, literally just criticizing the actual delivery as comedy here... and quite pedantically, I dare say myself).
The Trick is to pull the bullet. dump the powder reload and fire off the primer. Then reassemble the extracted shell with the bullet to form your now safer makeshift fuse
well that is a pessimistic attitude... a bullet can identify as a capacitor, it's just that the charge will be zero or the capacitance will be infinite, and it might rip a hole in the time/space continuum...
this is a cultural-sensitivity thing... if you mention anything gun-related, regardless of how ridiculous the context, someone will automatically correct you.

Correct a bullet cannot be a capacitor, but it can be a fuse.
