Memes that made me laugh 200
At last we reach a double century! As usual, these memes were gathered around the internet over the past week. Click any image for a larger view.
@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 last one, with the single shot pistol... doesn't the primer look used to you?

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.
