Teen Hurt Whacking Bullets With Hammer

Can’t call it a Darwin award. He’s still in the gene pool.

But for how long? :)

[Just another Joe]

He's plan was about 99% safe.

That's MORE than good enough for government work.

Great, now he will just find a new form of stupid that involves taking someone else with him to the final lesson factory.

He reminds me of that old Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs came across a gremlin casually whacking the hell out of a huge bomb.

Wonder if he said those immortal words, “Hey, watch this...!”

You mean he didn't do it on video? What was he thinking?

[ConservaTexan]

Brilliant!

Although alive, he may no longer be able to contribute to the gene pool. We don’t know from the article how far south in the “abdomen” he may have been wounded.

Years ago, my mother, when she was eight years old, and who grew up in the California gold mining areas, found a blasting cap. She put it on a rock and hit it with a hammer, and it blew all the fingers off her left hand, maiming her for life.

Ahh, yes, teenagers.

It’s a wonder any of them survive.

I think back to some of the stupid stuff I did . . .

An Army Artillery Range would keep him busy for a few minutes.

[PzLdr]

Chisels do.

“Homer Simpson: The Early Years” will return in a moment...

Or the genius who played russian roulette with a semi-auto, and lost. (Duh.)

Sheriff Larry Cleveland said about 100 other rounds that Mosher hit had “fizzled,” but one was somehow sent with more force. It was unclear if the bullet ricocheted or hit him directly.

I wonder if this one he placed in the horizontal groove in the face of the vice and had it back near the end away from him. By cranking down in it and getting both vice faces to make contact with one another with the bullet in that groove, it gave the bullet a nice little makeshift “barrel” to allow it to build up some pressure and accelerate. I imagine he might have been bending over the vice when he whacked it and that’s how he got in in the abdomen.

[Wiggins]

The 100th one was a charm.

[AnAmericanMother]

Dumb kid never heard of this -

- or this -

[Dick Bachert]

Yeah, but if he somehow survives until breeding age, the gene pool becomes that much shallower.

I’d send this clown a picture of an inertia bullet puller but he’d probably just use IT to hit the nail against the primer.
