Suggestion for new type of ammo testing

[sqlbullet]

Maybe I'm just too much of a blend of common sense and realism, just odd to me Gun Safety needs to be taught.  And clearly it does NEED to be taught for many.

I mean, isn't the sound of round being touched off while not wearing hearing protection enough to strongly suggest;  Hey, maybe I shouldn't point that thing in any direction I wouldn't want a bullet headed toward.  Nevermind me, just have a hard time understanding carelessness and ignorance.

Keep in mind I am teaching a then 4 and 5 year old on the young side.  The 8 and up crowd are pretty solid.

It might be, but having children shoot fruit won't cause permanent hearing damage like firing a gun without ear protection can easily do.

Agreed.  I was just ranting.

Our first zombie thread!

Here is an idea for something to shoot.

A liquid that turns into a solid when impacted.  And it should be easy to make a small test quantity, like a gallon.

I hear they been working on the liquids-turning-to-solids thing in Israel for bullet proof vests.  I believe that could be considered old news at this point.  Not sure where they stand on it at this point.
