The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

That last one, with the single shot pistol... doesn't the primer look used to you?
@Anonymous at 5:40AM: Yes, it does - but then, I wouldn't put a live round into that contraption even for a photograph! The risk of accidentally pulling the trigger (and erasing myself from history) would be too great.
When I was a kid, I would pour the shot out of shells then place them on nails behind the garage. Using my trusty Benjamin air rifle, I would shoot the primer from about 20 yards. It made for a nice bang.
That primer dimple appears to be the firing pin bounce dent from some semiauto's chambering cycle. I think that is the reason for the hard primers that military ammo tends to be loaded with.

That round is a💣without a barrel around it.
Great post, as always.
I really enjoy these. Thanks for posting.

Wombats fact checked -
"I find that claim implausible.
This is a rare case I would agree with so-called “fact checkers” (sic).
The original claim is from 2020."

I've actually done Meme #1 more than is statistically possible.
