Hmm, I think I'd want something one could more rapidly fire...I'd need a couple bowls of Wheatbix to draw back 180 ponds I think. Maybe three.

Nah you'd be fine, just got to use two hands. It's not as hard as it looks. But hurts your fingers after a few shots.

I think I'll stick to the guns...A bit easier, if one knows what one is doing. 😀

At least bolts don't go rusty and if they do they don't kill you 🤣 I've had these since I was 11 and 12. Found em when we were moving. I disposed of them as I didn't want them deteriorating and going off in the cupboard.

Different world when I was at school, I remember when I took them in for show and tell. We all had to bring things in about hobbies.

Previous week I brought in a rabbits tail and everyone lost their shit.

Then I brought these in and the teachers lost their shit.

I couldn't understand the rucuos, they asked us to bring in our hobbies.

Lol, disposed of them. Hopefully not by hitting the primers with a hammer. Lol. That could make things lively for a while.

As kids we would throw them in the fire and run.

I am amazed no one got hurt or killed. The things you do as a kid....

Also, you can use the gun powder to make fire works hang on ill try find an image.

Two beer lids, compressed gun powder in the middle, hole in the top, sparkler as an ignition. Duck tape it (alot)

Just be careful, sometimes they go Boom if the hole at the top gets blocked and not enough pressure is being released. They can also take flight.

I'd say that would be a quite irresponsible thing to do and certainly not something I'd want to be involved with. As a shooter I have nothing but respect for gun powder and only use it for its intended purpose.
