I plead low coffee, if I slipped up the calculation, but still, it is an entertaining thought the next time you shoot a zucchini with Hydrashock.

After watching way too much Mythbusters, I'd really love to take a lot of different calibers and loads to a range and try them out. Dumpster-dive behind the farmer's market for a truckload of melons -- doesn't matter if they're spoiled, because they're not for eatin'. There's also a ballistics gel recipe I found online and would love to try.

Anyone know where I can rent or borrow a 10,000-fps camera?

Know how, when you grow zucchinis, there is always one that hides under the leaves and turns into a monster? One year I grew Yellow Hybrids, and found this...thing..about two feet long.

We took it to the range, and I drew a target with a Magic Marker on its blossom end. My wife sent a Hydrashock up its ..umm..blossom end with her Sig226..the thing kind of unzipped and this pulp cloud sprayed all over the place, and left a little hollow skin on top of the barrell we had placed it on.

Squashes grew wild at the plinking range for a couple of years. No one picked them because of the lead, and the woodchucks got most of them.
