Don’t want your kids getting hold of a live round? Smack it with a hammer

When I was a kid, maybe 10 or 12,
I found a railroad torpedo near the tracks and I set it up on top of the rail and smashed it with a big rock to see if it would go off. It did. It hurt. I cried.
I even bled; the casing of that thing turned into tiny shrapnel-- like rocksalt. And maybe some of the surface area of the rock I used as a hammer was blown off in my direction.


What's a R.R. torpedo, you ask?

 
When I was a wee dumb**** we used to tape bullets to the end of our bb guns and shoot the primers.

I'm a grown man now and I have a soup can cannon
Shotgun shells on the end of a redrider is easier to tape......and sitting on the fence make's good targets with said bb gun........Tannerite hold my kool-aid popsickle ...... oh yeah taping ball bearings to the bottom was fun too .! Thank you Lord for protecting us ........... !
