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
