Durham Regional Police say a 50-year-old Oshawa, Ont., man tried to pull apart a bullet with vise grips around 5 p.m. on Tuesday.


They say the powder inside the bullet ignited, which caused an explosion and propelled the bullet into the man's thigh

Amazing how many people don't realize you can buy bullets and brass separately

I tried to make key chain token out of a quarter when I was younger. Stuck it in the bark of a pine tree and put a 38 damn near right on it...pulled the trigger and passed so close to my ear that I felt it. Landed on the deck behind me...success. It was very dumb, and I got very lucky, but at least I know now not to do shite like that again.

Ya the board I pulled it from said there's more to the story than the news report. It wasn't just pulling on it with plyers.

When I was 10 or 11, I had an idiot neighbor brothers that stayed home all day by themselves in the summer. One would cut the hull of a shotgun shell off at the metal, hold what was left with vise grips and set off the primer by hitting a screwdriver with a hammer. The second time I saw him do if a metal fragment lodged in his hand.

We set their living room curtains on fire spaying Lysol into a match. In today's world, their house would have been where kids went to watch porn. We went there to watch wrestling and play with fire. Thank God their step dad keep the guns away from them.

I'd believe it if it was brass in his thigh.

I can't say if never thought about shooting the primer of a shotgun shell with a BB gun as a kid.
