LOL! As long as you do not try to substitute what would naturally go in this hole into your gun sometime!

Actually I think you have a 22 magnum that was
struck on a 22 plain casing. Notice the die flow around
the neck. Must of been cut off during the punch.
I've got a 22 short struck on a 22 long rifle casing.
Nice find anyway. By the way, you owe me $275.00
for the damage to my windshield. I take paypal gift only.

I think PCGS would grade it at least a 60, cleaned. I can see what appears to be whizzing around the case neck.

PCGS doesn't grade coins that are cleaned. They body bag them. Keep the fees though.

Not anymore, now they put them in slabs unlike the way they used to just send them back in the same flip you sent them in, now they just mark it genuine without an actual grade

When I was about 12 years old, made a gun that fired .22 longs. I found a piece of thick walled tube of just the right inside diameter about 6" long, so I took advantage of it.

Won't go into much detail on how I made it for obvious reasons, suffice to say it was operated by pulling back a firing pin the same way a kid would use a catapult. The breech area was covered with a substantial piece of steel. The spent case had to be ejected manually after every shot.

The gun worked surprisingly well, and I fired quite a large number of shots with it. However, even at 12 years old, I felt responsible enough to eventually break the weapon apart, to stop it from falling into the wrong hands.

I have even made solid fuel rockets making my own gunpowder, with kerosene as a paste to mould the fuel into the rocket casing. One of these rockets had about 3 pounds of fuel in it, the fuel was to be ignited with fuse wire up the exhaust nozzle. I wisely considered that particular rocket was too dangerous, and dismantled it, never to be test flown. Much smaller ones, using bamboo as the casing, were quite successful.

Interestingly, detailed information on the construction of atomic warheads is in the public domain and is easily found. Absolutely none of this information is clandestine in any way, and has been released officially.

If you want information, you'll find it on the Internet...no problem.

Funny Scub! Incidentally, I paged down to quickly then scrolled slowly back...almost wet myself when only the dates came into view and lost it when I saw the casing. Good one!

That's what I've always heard called a zip gun. Never made one myself but have seen some, including one that fired a 12 gauge shell.

We actually got one of those in a bag of halves a few years ago. I'm going to have to find it, now, I can see it fits real nice.
