Used batteries and stack of pennies as shotgun slugs ?

[manbearpig]

a buddy once shot a chapstick in a single shot 20 guage with the primer only. lodged it in the choke really bad too lol

pfft. just blast it out with a lithium battery fired from the next shell.

X2 on that one

That's one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.

I'm going to load my buckshot with sparkle dust. If I'm not allowed to kill an intruder, I'm going to dazzle him with flambouyance.

How stable does a thin disc fly? Imagine paper-thin discs of hard steel - stacked unattached in a cup - wind resistance would be minimal edge-on - maybe 500 of them 2 thousandths thick would make an interesting load to test.

not enough mass to keep moving

get one of these, put anything you have handy in it.

Didn't they use dimes in the movie Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid?

oh yeah, Hollywood...

It was young guns II but they were pure silver so much softer and larger diameter. "Best $1.80 I ever spent" or something was the line.

It has been tested on pig carcasses

barreries? coins? are you f**ked.

Some more brilliant hunting load ideas(joking):

broken glass
marbles
sand
rocks
home made plastic explosive
nails
washers
nuts
olives
crushed beer caps
gumballs
superballs
gobstoppers

it was also in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. here's a quote form IMDB
Billy: [to the man whose horse he's stolen after breaking out of jail and killing Deputy Sheriff Bob Ollinger with a shotgun loaded with 16 silver dimes, after the man complains about being reimbursed for the animal] "There's a buck-sixty in old Bob if you can dig it out."

a buddy of mine and myself once talked about loading a super bouncing ball (the ones out of the .25 cent toy machines) into a 12 gauge shell. never did try it....

Is that what they mean when they say "dispose of properly".

I wonder how high it would bounce if shot at the ground.

 

[scruffee]

try the batteries and let us know how it worked out for ya!

 

[manbearpig]

nuts

if you shot a buckshot load of peanuts at someone,
would they partially penetrate/embed? or would they turn into peanut butter?
if the latter, would it be crunchy or smooth?

i think cops should use peanuts as nonlethal rounds, would be so much more interesting than that rubber sh*t - especially if they hit someone with a peanut allergy

We are all trying to show that Canadian Gun Owners are responsible and blah, blah,blah,........

I thought we were all trying to show that Canadian Gun Owners have a sense of humor? Well, most of us anyways.....

wtf!

Shouldn't that be "If I'm not allowed to kill an inTWuder..."?

Oh man, I'm ashamed I had anything to do with this thread.

Come on guys! I though every body had done similar 'experiment' when they were young and stupid (At least I did)

I've never tried loading batteries... but I did load some rounds with dimes and/or rock salt.

The dimes had to be filed down to fit inside the shot-cup... the total weight of the stack of dimes was about the same as the shot column... The 'patern' (if you can call it that) openned up pretty fast... at the 5 yards line, it was already 8" across!

As far as rock salt is concerned, it wouldn't go trough a paper target past 10'...

Watch for ricochets, for about 2 days after touching that beast off

Hi,

What do you think of the idea of using used batteries as shotgun slugs ? I looked up diameters online and it seems AAA batteries are good fit for .410, and AA batteries are good fit for 20 or 24 gauge.

Also if you glue a stack of pennies together, it should fit in 10 gauge barrrels. A stack of 10 pennies should give you a 360 grain slug, and if you file the diameter down by 0.6 mm it should fit in 12 gauge barrels.

You have to reload your shotshells of course. Anyone want to try this ? I'd like to know the terminal ballistics of such slugs, and how many pennies you can recover in spendable shape for a dead deer.

They gave you a PAL???? Lol

I can spot you a few bucks if you need to buy ammo.
