It was pretty cool watching the little explosion on the back side of the board, now I wonder how much damage that would do to a blue helmet?

Little known fact that the Navy Seals used those in the recent Pirate killings.   Posted: Mon Apr 13, 2009 8:53 am Legendpilot Member Joined: 26 Nov 2007 Posts: 67 Location: Baltimore, Maryland I'm reluctant to say I've done it. While visiting Cabela's I decided to pick up a pack of small & large pistol primers. The small ones work well on .177 and the large ones work great on .22's. I use a small drop of super glue and a wadcutter, just gotta make sure they're centered or your pellet will tumble. They make good novalty shots, but you have to hit something hard in order to get any effect. FYI - I don't put these in my springer either, just the 2240, and 1377. Something about all that power behind the pellet that just scares me, I wouldn't an explosion in the barrel, ya know? Primers were cheap, around $2 for 50. Again, this is something I've only done a few times, and yes, the barley and malt were flowing, heck I still have about 80 primers left. Probably some legality issues associated with this type of fun, be careful. _________________ Beeman RS2 .22 Crosman 2240 .22 Crosman 1377c .177 Crosman T4 .177 Marksman 0035, 10000+ rds, shoots very well .177 wish List - Diana RWS 350 Feuerkraft Pro Compact .22   Posted: Mon Apr 13, 2009 9:35 am fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia I hear you need a piece of #9 steel shot in the primer, to induce detonation. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
