Thread: Panelbeater narrowly avoids Armageddon

Reminds me of an event from my school days. One weekend in the boarding house 3rd form dorm, theres a loud bang, off we go to investigate and here is a very pale looking, wide eyed asian student with a circular burn mark on his desk pad and a 12g case that now looks like a star.

Turns out he had found the round down by the river (some duck shooter must have dropped it) and had decided to open it up with a screw driver. He had managed to extract the shot, wad and powder before beating down on the primer with the screw driver.
