Spend a great couple of ours with some complete strangers at the Taupo range today, sighting in my 17hmr, while the other two where wacking a 270 and 6.5.
I had a spare iPhone 7 that had caused me grief, so we used as a target. Three 17s, two 270s and two 6.5s at 100 meters.
I can now tell you they are not as good as flasks in your top pocket as heart protection!!!:cool:Attachment 128972

Didn't the battery burn/go boom?
Nope but it smelt like I’ll keep that beside me just in case it decides to burn my Ute up!! I thought it may have caught fire, maybe we didn’t hit the battery:thumbsup: it’s now a wall hanger, $700 bucks of shit!!
Now the guy out there warned me not to hit a lead acid battery with a HP round as they explode!! Let me know, and a coke can full of water wil flatten from round or blow the arse out! That’s for next weekend!!
leads acids wont explode, sure you will get hydraulicing and leakage but no actual boom
Oh well I try that next weekend as well?Quote:

A well warmed can of black doris plums
Next try a 44gallon drum of Oxy/Acetylene surrounded by lit candles.....video results please.
A plastic bag full of petrol (300mil or so) with a lit candle placed directly under it, (close but not TOO close!) and shot the plastic bag with 223 hollow point, spectacular in the dusk!
One would have to be a bit loose in the head to even contemplate doing this.Quote:

Quite satisfying plinking away . It had the last laugh though. Theres quite a lot of glass and stuff that scattered about that I had to clean up.
Many years back when i was a foreman for a construction company i had given couple young guys many many warnings about texing at work. It was out of control and had said i catch you again am going to smash that phone. Had enough one day and when he put his phone down i went past with the nail gun and that was the end of that. It put a stop to it straight away
Now you would get a PG on ya.Quote:

I was at a Bucks Do in Limpopo SA, crazy affair there they are, Shooting Drinking Games (all would go to jail here) Buck gets shot with Paint Balls Point blank when running in to claim money stuck in the sand in a small arena, has a tiny shield for his nuts, with very little in the way of cloths on, most go to hospital next day (or that day) !
One of the Games involved shotguns with a handy cap of Semi 12ga big mag - Double 20ga - Single 410 type of deal, roll of the dice type draw & scull shooters/drinks when targets are missed !
Any way one guy has a CAT phone & it has been pissing him off, so it gets thrown in the air & a few guys shoot it, gets whacked pretty good by a lot of pellets, he picks it up shows us the damage & then the Fucker rings & he answers it :O_O: lol
They tell me a spike had gone through the mother board, not worth it!!Quote:
