Default Re: Assault with a loaded pepperoni

What is the world coming to? I am stunned.

I actually made a real 'weapon' in the metal work class in school, I never thought about the consequences at the time. It was a hand held smooth bore pistol, rather crude looking that fired 5/16" diameter ball bearings using a fuse and gun powder. It was powerful enough to shoot the ***** through both sides of a gallon oil can.

It was a craze at school for a while until one boy managed to shoot himself in the throat, the ball rolled down into his lungs and required surgery. He had graduated to using fertilizer, a rather unstable mixture.

I also tried to make nitroglycerin in the chemistry lab, an abysmal failure when I tried it I'm glad to say.

What was I thinking? I guess I never thought, boys will be boys.
