I used to drink tequilla.

In quantity.... :p



When I was a kid, I wanted to have a bullet on a chain to wear around my neck, so I stole a .308 from the ammo cabinet of my buddy's father. I took it home, put the cartridge in a vise, and pulled the bullet out of the casing with a pair of pliers. I poured out the cordite, and realised that I would need a hole for the chain where the primer cap (?) was. So I put the casing back in the vise, held a Phillips screwdriver against the primer, and tapped it with a hammer.

The resulting blast nearly deafened me, and sent a flame about a foot long out of the casing. :eek: If I had set off the full charge while I was pulling the slug out of the casing, I wouldn't be here to tell the tale.

STOOOOOOPUUD!!!
