We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember The Natural Philosopher saying something like:
Ditto, with 1/2" bore steel gas pipe, a handgrip and suitable pair of BBs. I had tested it before holding it, but it was effing daft. Still knocked an impressive couple of holes through re-inforced and laminated glass.
Ah, dim even as a child, eh? I opened many .22 cartridges as a child by using a pair of pliers. I had reasoned that the bullet was supposed to come off and I was right.
Why did you open 'many'?
I thought it was a spent bullet. I had never seen a cartridge. Nor had I any reason to suppose that my father would leave live ammunition in a drawer..

Did that once with hydrogen made from caustic soda solution and aluminium foil. It was last seen as a tiny spec in the sky.
Sam Barros, the guy who runs the following website really knows how to have fun with anything dangerous.
aha, yes - not seen that site for a while. It's on the to-do list to try building a Tesla coil (and not ending up dead in the process) now that I finally have room for one. Years ago the Glubco website used to make for interesting reading too, but I think it's been AWOL for some time now.
There's a company a few miles away that makes / services neon signs, and I really must get around to dropping in and seeing if they have any NSTs that they don't want (being in the US means there's a *lot* of neon around, and there must be times where the sign gets broken but the NST's still good)
cheers
