Of course, if used through a bow, the inertia of the bullet might just cause the shaft behind to set the bullet off next to your head. I'll let someone else test my theories! |
It sounds good in theory, but unless you're at close range I don't see the arrow/spear having the energy required to pop the primer. Good thought if you could get it to work.

If you're really talking about bullets, you could 1) stash them in a secure location for future use when you have access to reloading equipment and components, 2) use them for trading fodder, or 3) simply discard them.
If you are talking about cartridges, surely you didn't saddle yourself with a caliber so exotic that you can't go out and "acquire" another gun in that chambering fairly easily? Especially in a wartime/occupation scenario... |
Ok now grammar gestapo!
I chose bullets over cartidges because it's fun too say boolits and I figured everyone would get the idea.
Also, remember the scenario, you are sitting in the middle of nowhere with the chances of aquiring another gun are RARE.
Then again I am stocked up on 9mm and .223 and .22lr so if by chance I DID capture another gun, I have a good chance of being able to use it...

No need to seek info. Have MUCH info stored away. Just none of it pertains to boolits and their other uses.

Is it still legal to have the first and second volumes?
