The weirdest thing that you ever shot?

[ChadW]

A camel. Shot one that got caught in cross fire in Iraq. Didn't mean to, and still kind of feel bad about it...

 

[Joni_Lynn]

Hmmm.............I shot my mouth off once but that's probably for another time.
I shot a cadillac once, does that count?

 

[jframe]

I killed a 30lb cylinder that had been filled with Freon. It was supposedly empty. Still had enough oomph in it to shoot straight up in the air after a .40 caliber bullet out of a Ruger PC4 that I had at the time hit it. Oh crap, is the Government going to come after me for doing that and harming the ozone layer? Also shot up a 1985 200SX Nissan hatchback that my wife sold to her brother. He pushed it out back of his house, and I did the Alabama redneck thing and liquidated the threat with a Remington 870.

The last time I went to the range I was walking back to my bench with a stapler gun and saw a catepillar on the ground. Well when in rome.... I never thought I would hit it. But sure enough a nice 14gauge staple right through the head and into the ground. Luckiest shot ever.

The Bunkhouse.

Had a .22LR ricoshay (sp) through the asbestous tile skirt under the bunkhouse in our backyard. Nobody else there but me. And I don't think anybody ever spotted that neat little hole.

I shot a compact dic thrown from a skeet thrower. They leave fast, and it took several to actually get on one. It actually disappeared when hit! I don't mean a cloud of dust...I mean NOTHING!

Lets see. Shaving cream,sams choice colas,watermelons pumpkins and other various fruits and vegetables. Bowling pins, base balls, golf balls, soft balls, steel plates up to 1.5 inch. propane cyl by accident a bowling ball, countless jugs of water, 10 lined up in a row hit w/50 bmg makes a big splash. Lots of half full spray paint a hair spray cans by the Bonn-fire. A 5 ton wrecker and many other old military vehicles. Bic lighters. My neighbors 60 something comet.(he parked it in our pasture because his wife wanted out of the yard, No one told me or my brother so we used it for target practice. He was not happy when he decided to fix it up.) A mouse with 22 mag rat shot in the house out of a rifle,won't be doing that again. I'm sure I have left out a few things, but thats a good start

 

[GARMASTERS]

You may be a redneck if.......

Uhhhhhhhhhhh................mebbe I should just list the things I HAVEN'T shot, it would be a much smaller list....................

Me too!

I shot up a 1954 Buick and a 1965 Renault once with a .45 Colt. I learned that I'd have rather been inside the Buick than the Renault during the fusillade. Also fired a few 12 gauge slugs at the Renault.

Sideways, diagonally, lengthwise, no matter; there is absolutely no place one can hide behind a Renault R8 and be safe from a 12 gauge slug.

 

[Vegetaman]

The only things I've shot that were even exciting and out of the norm:

-Jug full of water
-Giant animal "cave drawing" on cardboard I did as a kid I was going to throw out
-Those velcro mits that you use to catch a tennis-ball like thing...

I'm sorry I threw my last printer and hard drive away before I had a chance to shoot them.

I once shot a beaver in my pajamas.

 

[SPC]

Why the heck was a beaver in your pajamas???

 

[tallpaul]

My truck that I drove to the strip pit... drove it home and everywhere else I needed to go after... I had bullet holes before the fake ones came out. It was good for conversation... oh boy to be back in college

 

[tallpaul]

Why the heck was a beaver in your pajamas???

Hopefully it was cross dressing...

A friend of mine worked at a company that makes Crazy Foam. We taped these aerosol cans to sticks and shot them at 100 yds with a 22-250. When hit, the impact instantly created a white cartoon cloud about six feet in diameter.

 

[USAF385]

That's classified.

In my normal everyday life though, I haven't really shot anything too weird. I guess cement blocks would be the weirdest thing.

 

[scoutsdad]

After deer season my brother and I would take the slugs out of our left over shells and fill them with rice. My mom wouldn't let use use real shot in the backyard, but we told her that it would come out as puffed rice. So every New Years we would go out at 12 and send off a few rounds. We had one left over and set up a target with the garage as a backstop. Well the hole we put in the garage was equal to 71/2 shot. We were in big trouble with Dad.

 

[Half Scale]

I remember it well and am reminded of it on occasion.

My wife had just bought her a new recliner for the den....AD from a Mod 29 44 Mag on my part . Happened in 1982, first and hopefully last.

You don't know how difficult it is to explain to your wife why the stuffing from her new recliner is blown all over one end of the house... Probably best that i could not hear anything for a few hours anyway. I think she was real mad, appeared that way from the way her lips were moving and the color of her face.

Oh, and by the way. Don't know about other forum members wives but mine sure has a good memory.

 

[The Highlander]

Half Scale, now that was funny!

I shot a tv once, but it is ok, it was mine.

Probably the funniest thing I ever shot was a hose pumping wastewater sludge...at my boss. Come to think of it, it was more satisfying than funny.
