"Noel Edmonds to Marry Ben Stiller"

Now I have your attention - I was wondering that, if you have any idea, if I were to saw off the end of a piece of live ammunition, would it explode, or will it only explode if the end bit is hit with something ?

Very untechinical

cant tyype today either.

oh and yeah, Stiller is a homo.

a safe way to take apart a live metal cassed rifel bullet is to, jam it into a vice, softly, get a par of pliers and pull out the bullet bit from the casing, slowly, then you can empty the powder from inside, then hit the end to fire the charge and you can then put the bullet bit back into it. This mite work i dont know.

I don't think so, unless you make a spark when sawing through it, which I've never seen happen.

Sparks and powder that ignites don't mix.

I'd hazard a guess that if you are sawing through a plastic casing (shotgun shell for instance*) then you'd be ok. However doing a metal shell casing would be a bad idea.


*Don't think they have metal on the inside of the plastic bit but...

Aren't some of the smaller casing unscrewable anyway? Or is that just something that happens in the movies?
