[QUOTE="Tillek, post: 9566, member: 205"] Found a live round in the gutter of our street once - memory is a bit vague but it was not your run of the mill bullet, prob high velocity / large calibre hunting, similar to a 7.62 SLR round but a bit smaller - this being post hand your gun in days I thought I'd do the right thing and take it down the local cop shop. In a good natured way he complained about all the stupid <insert swearword of choice> paperwork he had do do to dispose of 1 round - I suggested that if i found another one i should just disarm it myself and he agreed! As a kid I think I used up all the old mans 12 gauge shells he forgot he had, corkscrew to get the wadding out, throw the leadshot away, make trails with the cordite and light. Then place the shell in the vice and hit the primer with a philips head screwdriver / hammer And the .22 rat / starling bullets - took some to school to show the kids how you could set them off just by stomping on them (did manage to get myself that day - with the shell not the projectile) [/QUOTE]
