I once knew a boy who put a 22 round on a cement wall which was about waist high on him. He then hit it with a rather large rock. The lead was still on the wall, however the brass was imbeded in his stomach and he had to have surgery to remove it. The bullet being the heavier stayed put and the lighter brass went flying. Not at all what I would expect to happen, but if you really think about it, it makes sense.

Hmmm.......

From the "I can't believe I lived" file.....

My Brother and Law and I used to take a 3 lb mallet and those cartridges for the nail guns...basically a .22 blank. We'd lay em on the anvil portion of the bench vise and nail em with all we had.

Made a !!!! of a bang, and the casing was mashed dead by the mallet and generally went nowhere.....

Someday I'll tell ya about the friend and I, this was more than 20 years ago, that took 1 foot of 3/4 inch aluminum tube (one ended rounded off and soldered by the factory) then filled it with black powder and fashioned a wooden plug.........

After the pimento jar fiasco I used the cardboard tube off coathangers cut in half and plugged with paper towels. Big bang, no shrapnel.

Also used to take fired 20 guage shells, fill'em with bp and run a piece of cannon fuse thru the crimp. Then emty a 12 guage shell, reload it with bp stick the 20 in it and fire it in the air from a single barrel. Goes waaaay up and a heckuva bang.

We used to stick loaded .22 shells in the end of a straw, stand in the middle of the street or concrete parking lot, throw them as high as we could then run like he ll!. Needless to say, the straw does NOT survive-I'm surprised that we did! A buddy of mine nearly killed himself when a dozen balloons full of acetylene exploded in the cab of his pickup. He was in his shop one night and heard his neighbors throwing firecrackers in their little bonfire and thought he'd impress them by showing them how you can stick a oxy\acetylene ballon on the end of a cane pole and explode it in the fire. He filled several balloons, stuffed them in the truck, drove about 200 yds and they all exploded rupturing his eardrums and splitting all of the body seams on his pickup. :jaw:
