moderator just delete this thread please. The idea of booby traps and explosives was not appropriate for this forum and we should just throw this away and forget about it.
9. Do NOT discuss making explosives of any type.
20. Modification of any firearm, so as too configure it illegal, or discussions on how too make improvised explosives of any type are prohibited.
Thanks for clarifying on the lightbulb issue. To be fair on the zip-gun thing though, I'm sure the one my uncle had did strike the cartridge on the rim, as it never failed to fire even once. I did have the oppurtunity to fire one other zip gun a long time ago that was chambered in .22lr, but had a centerfire firing pin. Because of this, the gun would fire only occasionaly (maybe once for every 20-30 trigger pulls). Not something one would want to bet their life on.I've been a journeyman electrician for a long, long time and I'm familiar with all the components used in reloading.
The poster's light bulb trick wouldn't work for several reasons I won't go into here.
The zip-gun design was ludicrous for more than one reason. He wasn't even aware that a rimfire cartridge had to be struck in the rim and not in the center of the case head, in order for it to work.
This joker was trolling for idiots. Nobody is that stupid.
Nag, nag, nag, nag.....I hear you Brother. I told my Wife if the S does hit the fan I will be trading her off to the first slave traders that come along. Strangely enough she doesn't seem to nag near as much.I have the ultimate improvised weapon; I've been secretly taping my mother and wife nagging for years. All I have to do is hit the play button...
I know, I know....I'd be like a total hermitt, rambo if I weren't so obsessed with slapping their naughty bits around. Boobies...they'll be the death of me.
Secret weapons - pretty sure those qualify :What was this thread about again?
