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.

Dude, I hope I never pi$$ you off

set those up around your perimiter and then use a homemade bow/arrow or your zip gun for protection and or hunting. The homemade mines will hopefully slow down or take out any small bands of soldiers trying to attack you,

I've always been very inventive on how to make stuff to get by if needed on alot of stuff. Plus when I was at my last job I talked alot with one guy there that knows more about making homemade grenades, mortars, etc than anyone I know. I guess being around him so long part of it rubbed off on me, lol.

Mouse traps can be used for all sorts of things .

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.

yes true, but what's the chance you're gonna have a mousetrap with you in a shtf situation?


you could also make flash bombs to temporarily blind anybody trying to attack you while you get close and get them all with a knife or something

Use the mousetrap as both the trip as well as the trigger. Set the mousetrap and use the bar that snaps down to strike the primer of a round or two that are inserted into holes you drill in the wood of the mousetrap and set these up as toe poppers. This is a variation of the ones I heard were used in vietnam. The person steps on the trap tripping the bar which fires the round/s up through their foot incapacitating that person as well as slowing or stopping any advancing enemies.

Perhaps the bullets could be fashioned into a spear tip or arrow head for deer hunting. If setup properly, I would think the momentum of the arrow or spear behind could be used to fire the primer on impact. I'm not sure how much energy the case alone is capable of creating in the bullet, but it just might be sufficient for decent penetration into a deer or other game animal.

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!

So now the question remains: What to do with all these bullets?

You say "bullets". Do you mean "cartridges"?

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...

You need to seek info from the Viet Cong and Bin Laden about guirllia warfare, and making IED's. Think outside the booilt.
