At first I thought he was playing with airsoft. That is some quiet ammo.

| probably the cb caps. no powder in the round, the primer propels the bullet. i shoot them with the kids in the yard, sounds like a handclap, and they wont even penetrate a 2x4 enough to stick, they usually bounce off. although they did have enough power for me to finish off a rabbit that was run over in my drive way, neighbor thought i was shooting a pellet gun. |

My dad had an apartment tenant who decided to steal/split cable with the neighbor... Longest drill not long enough... Answer? Stack a few phone books on the other side of the wall and plug it with a .22 revolver.  A .22 is not big enough in diameter. A .38 would be a perfect fit for RG6. |

single action rifle, must be UK They can have semi-auto rimfires in the UK. NOPE - we can have semi-auto .22's ONLY (not including s/a shotguns in that of course - they're ok here too) We can have most other calibers in actions other than semi-auto |

Check his other vids. It's a 10/22 with a fake can. http://www.krinkerplinker.com/ |

This thread reminds me of the story my Dad loves to tell.
When he and my Uncle Eddie were young teenagers, they took a Civil War Springfield rifled musket and fired off that fucker IN THE BASEMENT. Dad relates how it blew out all the windows down there and the whuppin' they received from Grandpop, who was not amused. Must have been worth it; Dad laughs every time he tells this story. KA-freaking-BOOOM!!!! (cough,cough,cough) |

| He's just shooting a light 22 load. Not a big deal. When I was in highschool I did much worse (or better). Loaded up a 44 1858 Remington Cap and ball revolver with light loads and shot it into phone books backed up with a few sheets of plywood. Not the best idea, but fun, it got so smokey down there you could hardly see. We had to wear bandannas to keep all the black powder out of our nose. We did this quite a few times. Once I sat on the porch to hear it, it was not extremely loud, but noticable. My neighbor asked about the sound. I said my brother was building something and that was the sound of the hammer knocking something apart. This was in Brooklyn in the mid 1980's. Good times. |
| A friend of mine told me this story. A few years ago he and some friends were shooting .22's in his basement during the cold winter months. When it warmed up he was out doing yard work and he noticed his neighbors outside looking at their above ground pool and noticed that they seemed upset. He took a walk over to see what was going on. The neighbor was pissed because he discovered that someone had shot up his pool over the winter. My buddy happened to look back at his house and noticed that he had these small rectangular fixed basement windows. He finished the conversation, went home and went down into the basement. Well apparently whatever they were shooting into had a wall behind it which covered over the concrete wall of the basement which had the window. |

Sometimes when my grandfather would take me out to his ranch, I'd shoot a .22 off the porch at cans in the yard. One time I heard some metallic sounds and saw that a couple of my shots had ricocheted back and buried themselves in the hood of his truck. Woops. I didn't tell him, and a few weeks later he totaled that truck. Never found out. |

What can go wrong? lead poisoning. Yep...the explosive in primers is lead based. Shooting in a properly ventilated are or even shooting a few times in your basement is not going to kill you, but keep doing it over years and you can get pretty fucked up. |
