Shotgun powder is slow and without the pellets to hold the over powder wad in it just pushes the charge down the barrel. It might all light or not. Also if you just hit the primer of a shot shell in free air, (like with a BB gun) it will just blow out the side of the shell. We found a box of shells in the woods when I was a kid and we tried all sorts of stuff until I figured out it was a perfect fit in the pipe on the monkey bars (I had a loose piece of that). Wedge that between a couple of logs and hit the primer with a center punch and it will go bang. Next step was talking a plumber into threading the pipe and giving me a cap. Drill a hole in that cap. Head space the shell with a couple of washers and put a roofing nail in the hole and you can get pretty dangerous ;-) |
