Of course not... that was dropped from the Empire State Building.I don't think that top one is a bullet.....
the shiny copper was embedded in the asphalt, the exposed part is the tarnish dark areas. over the all the years of roofing (25) i have only seen one bullet that a homeowner said came through the shingles, decking and sheetrock and landed in the stairwell. when repairing the leak the decking was punctured from the outside going in. mostly there just into the shingles just enough to cause a small leak
howdy RetiredUSNChief, my office is up at whitehorse rd and 85 just up the road. i was in simpsonville twice today.
ps: like your cannon
well, that depends. on how much you actually shoot, how good you get at loading, whether or not you use a good scientific method of loading, which includes good record keeping. personally, i shoot enough that my reloading equipment has been paid for from the savings. and in almost every gun i own, i can make better ammo than is available commercially. reloading can be cost effective, but certainly not to the person who shoots a few boxes or less per year. i shoot in the neighborhood of 10 k rounds per year (not including rimfire). i would never be able to afford to shoot that much buying cartridges at retail prices.I think that reloading your own ammo is very similar to making your own beer. It can be fun, educational, and may be a good skill to have in a pinch. Rarely, you can really come up with something special. Most of the time, however, better product is available for less money at the store, all things considered.
I am almost certain when I was living in Vegas a young girl was killed on New Years eve by a falling bullet. I immediately questioned it in my mind for most of the reasons already posted but there were 15 or so witnesses.So if that round came down on your head...?
Seems to be a pretty good bit of real world anecdotal information in terms of myth busting. Obviously, bullets don't hit the ground at the same speed that they left the muzzle which I think some people believe.
