Do bird bombs explode on contact, or do they have an internal fuse? That, and if you used any of these for self defense (not that anyone purposely would), wouldn't that be viewed as cruel and unusual punishment/torture/something along those lines in court?
 
They are time fused to blow (as was said) a hundred or so yds away.

We're talking a second or so after firing, as it is a sluglike object I doubt it would bounce very far after it hit the guy from 10-15 feet, especially if it got caught up in his clothes.
 
Preacherman, that is the most hilarious story I have heard in years. I was doubled over for five minutes trying to compose myself, and nearly passing out for lack of oxygen. I have some of those stunt rounds, including dragon's breath, that I bought a few years ago, but never tried them. I think I want to try some dragon's breath now, and try to imagine the scene again. Thanks for a good laugh. :D
 
I needed this laugh.

I haven't laughed this hard in days. Thanks, Preacherman. By the way, you owe me a new keyboard, mine has milk all over it now and will smell terrible by tomorrow.
 
I am reminded of the movie Excalibur:
Arthur awakens: "I dreamt the dragon!"
Merlin explains: "I have awakened him. Can't you see ... all around you ...
the dragon's breath?"
 
I picked up some Dragons Breath shells at the machine gun shoot a few years back and they were not what I was expecting. I shot them over a pond one night and they looked more like a firework going off about 30 yards away. Nothing like the pictures I had seen. Has anyone else experienced this? Did I just buy cheap knock-offs that were not actual DB, or were my expectations too high? I would defiantly buy more if they looked as good as the photos I’ve seen.
 
To complete the quote started two years ago...
"Once bitten, twice fried!"
Great story, don't know how I missed it the first time.
We have to find those Screamers for prison use....I don't think the Attorney General will let us use the Dragons Breath, though....
 
Wow. Those dudes at hi-vel arent screwing around.

What are the chances some of that stuff (flechete, gas, exploding) is legal these days?
 
dport I'm not sure where you 're coming form but hopefully it wont happen to you becs for me if somebody is already broken into my house I wont even give them a warning i will shoot period, just the fact that they are inside my house illegally its enough reason for me that they are there to do harm or KILL us..and when you say the emotional baggae afterwards imho i just have to say its better them than my family and i will sleep soundly.. every night..
 
vikz,

I shouldn't have to point this out, but...


Jeff Cooper's Rules of Gun Safety

RULE I: ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

RULE II: NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY

RULE III: KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

RULE IV: BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET

That means know what you are shooting AND what is in line behind it. It means DON'T shoot things (OR PEOPLE) you have not identified. Doing anything less than STRICT observation of Rule IV is courting tragedy- don't do it.

lee thanks and yes i know what you mean, just point it at bad guys..
 
Funny five year old story.

Too bad the shotgun wasn't loaded with slugs or buckshot, 'cause those scumbags would have been carried out feet first on gurneys ending their criminal careers right there. Who knows how many other innocent people were victimized by these creeps afterwards. (it's my guess they both found God after that - LoL)


* I just hope this thread doesn't inspire or encourage someone to use that overpriced 'gimmick ammo' from Firequest and Hi-Vel for home and self-defense *
