[QUOTE="AussieChris, post: 441514, member: 4915"] That should qualify him for a Darwin Award. Happened to me years ago, a bloke I knew tossed two old .303 rounds into a fire. They cooked off and exploded and a primer hit me in the neck, I thought I was a goner at first, searing pain from it heating up in the fire and plenty of blood. Had to be dug out with forceps, couple of stitches and I was good to go. I knew an idiot that tossed a full box of 50 .22lr rounds into a fire pit that quite a few people were standing around, they cooked off pretty fast and a few of them got hit.....not buy bullets but the brass casings. They hit hard enough to do some damage too and they were left with cuts of their legs and torsos. Always one in a crowd I guess :power: Hehe Nucopia, you beat me to it [/QUOTE]
