Anyone remember a 60s spy novel titled 'Day of the Jackal'? It's been a lot of years since I read it and I know they made a movie out of it that I never saw.
What I'm asking about now is the ammo the assassin hand made. He drilled a length-wise hole in the front of the bullet, put some mercury down the hole and sealed it with wax. It made a fantastic explosive bullet as the mercury flew forward, shattering the front of the bullet when it impacted in the victim.
This sounds like a great myth that makes for good reading in a novel. Anyone know if there is any truth to this? Should we all try it out and report back? Is the Box 'O Truth listening?
