Used batteries and stack of pennies as shotgun slugs ?

[bosley]

Use some half full propane or fuel tanks for targets........just to add to the destruction. Bad idea all round!

I vote for the full tanks and await the YouTube video

Batteries work in Arwen guns, in front of the plastic bullet.

You could always freeze turd and shot that

...and use a fan for target practice!

I use premium lithium batteries. A bit lighter for their size than standard carbon-zinc or alkaline so you need a bit extra powder to achieve the same velocities. But they are temperature insensitive and for the money, they can't be beat for trophy bi-polar deer.....

 

[bosley]

If you use a bic lighter is it considered a tracer round?

 

[manbearpig]

remember: when shooting coins or CR123 batteries to use either an extra-full or turkey choke - youll need it to stabilize the flight since they dont have the ballistic coefficient of foster slugs.

Hold my beer and watch this!

I work with a South African who served in their military for a while. He told me they used to pull rubber bullets out of the shells and replace them with D cell batteries to use for crowd control, "they tend not to come back to cause trouble when hit with a battery" he says.

jesus this thread rocks!

no go for the batteries - but try anything else once that wont destroy you or your gun...

Please don't do anything with your used batteries but recycle them.

I think mercury-free alkaline batteries are not toxic. Yes I know they contain corrosive agent, but once in soil they become harmless very quickly, and there is not enough to cause any environmental damage anyway. However they may leave corrosive agent inside the gun, or as Deltasilver pointed out, they may crumble under pressure and stuck in the barrel.

use american dimes in a 12 gauge. ive never tried it, but its tested here http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot35.htm

He merely stacked them inside the shell, so of course they flew apart after they exit the barrel. I was thinking you should glue them together, so they act as one solid slug with good ballistic coefficient.

 

[manbearpig]

a rechargeable lithium 18650 cell is a perfect fit for 12 gauge. charge it up fully (it would add insult to injury to shoot something with a dead battery).

gogo... and please make sure you have a camera rolling.

Why not just use real slugs?

 

[RobSmith]

Batteries are probably a bad idea, unless you use an old-school bulnderbuss since it was pretty much designed to fire just about anything that you can jam down the barrell.

Loose change has been done before with mixed results, same with chunks of rubber, wood dowel, rock satlt, actual rocks, and a whole lot of other things. Probably will void your gun's warrantee but as long as it slide freely in the barrell I don't see it blowing up your gun.

Buying your own ammo? That's about as rediculous an idea as buying diesel for your truck instead of taking furnace oil and adding acetone to fuel it. As the saying goes "the shy man gets nothing".

 

[manbearpig]

see? perfect fit. youll have to use 3.5" hulls though.

please make sure you get video of the results.
