So that when the trip wire is hit it will release the screw, nail, etc. and strike the primer to cause it to blow. And if you want some more shrapnel effect maybe put some small pebbles inside the cavity or on top of the piece of wood as well. |
I'd rep you for the kick arse idea, but I must be more giving to others first...

I heard of people throwing out old powder and it acts as fertilizer.
OR do like the guy on "SHOOTOUT" did. Grab a handfull between your
fingers, stick your hand in a fire and shoot the bad guy when the fire
sets the rounds off. I saw it in the movie it has to work. |
Interesting idea on the powder. Although I'd rather save it for something more constructive. I guess if guns are forever gone from criminals AND us AND governments, that would be a good idea...
As far as SHOOTOUT, you're right. If it happened in a movie, it must be true! I'll go find out with this .45ACP I have sitting around waiting on someone to buy it....

Making things are fun. I just hate that you can't do it anymore because it's "Radical" and "Extremeist" behavior and can get you in trouble.
