Man squishes bug, bug goes boom!

Although it's kind of tragic, I can't help but laugh a little at it. This guy finds a round of ammo in the woods, and decides to hold onto it. Sure, he thought it was a dud, but I guess he was wrong.

This is why you shouldn't play with ammo or explosives lol.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Should have removed the primer or gunpowder if he wanted to keep something pretty on his desk.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I read the title of this thread and assumed that he stepped on a bug and blew off his leg or something. That was a far funnier image than what actually happened.

I feel sorry for the guy, but it's at least something he can tell his kids about. Or something.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Very stupid. He would've been better off splashing bleach on the bug, even if it doused his hand and corroded the skin badly at least it would have remained usable.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I didn't think this was possible. I was under the impression that the explosives only propeled a bullet and didn't explode it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Its not so much a bullet, as it is an explosive device. Thats a 40 mm shell, not a measley bullet.

Its gotta suck for the guy though, losing your hand is probably one of the worst things I can think of.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

That's exactly what I thought too. Haha. Pretty mcuh you said what I thought too. I could see myself doing something stupid like that, I think. You know, just forgetting it's a fucking bullet.

Note to self: don't use bullets as weights.

FELIPE NO

That guy just got everything wrong on that move... Bullet as a paperweight, using it to smash something, wow. Natural selection is awesome.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I wouldn't have thought he'd be allowed to bring it to an educational institution in the first place.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ouch, I'd feel very sorry for him if was a gamer. Still, a live shell as a paperweight. Crazy.
Kinda reminds me of the time I found a old (and probably live) grenade partially buried in the dirt. The elementary teachers freaked out when they saw what I dug up next to the soccer field. In short they quickly took away my explosive treasure .

I imagined a bug somehow consuming ammunition and then someone coming along and squashing it, triggering an explosion. What a let down. But it's another testament to human stupidity, so I guess it's worth looking into.

I can see that institution will be reforming alot of their safety protocols regarding the bringing of ammunition..... Live or expired.

Kid may find a small bullet round that'd of expired after being fired at something. Brings it to school and shows his teacher: "Look what I found yesterday!"

"OMG! JIMMY HAS BULLETS! (That means he must have a gun too, right?) EVERYONE STAY CALM! YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH WITH THIS SON! I CAN HELP YOU!"

Or, some poor kid might make a bullet/gun with clay or something during a class event. Immediately he'll get sent to the principal's office and probably be forced to see a psychiatrist.

What an unfortunate accident. I suppose I'll have to find a new paperweight now. ;_;

LOL. This is too funny. Ok, yes, let's squash things with explosives that may or may not work. Next up, playing catch with grenades.

FELIPE NO

Hilarious and yes well put before on giving us a perfect example of natural selection.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Bah, that's not natural selection, he just lost his right hand. He can still spread his genes in our world.

Just not on his own.

How ya doing, buddy?

ROFL... 40mm is a rifle grenade munition that SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A PAPERWEIGHT. He lost his hand but that's what 40mm rounds like to do.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Isn't having any sort of weapon. like a bullet illegal in schools anyways?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Infront of 20 to 25 students. I'd be scarred if I watched that happen to someone.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Maybe, but it looks like a wide dildo almost so maybe the students didn't know it was an explosive round. Also, I can't believe the fragments didn't hit a school kid. 5 meter casualty radius in a classroom is something to be reckoned with.

LOL, Ventura. Suffice to say, I don't know this guy. He's surely an idiot though.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Anyone know what this 40mm round look like?

FELIPE NO

Looks like fat dildo... His was probably more weathered because its several years old.



How ya doing, buddy?

Maybe they can graph a foot to his stub- just an idea.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
