This place looks like your everyday blast site, no grass are growing around. How do you make this shaped charges with bullets and cases? I´m really interested since I think the worst thing about any shaped charge is to build the mold. Using available materials makes it much easier.

Melt lead from bullet, push in backwards and charge through drilled out primer socket. Expect ~1" penetration from the .357 but the hole diametre is miniscule, <1mm.

@videodemolitions using copper jackets as shaped charges, fucking brilliant why have i not thought of this. BTW what explosive did you use?

Amazing!

Thanks for the explanation, it seem very interesting since you will get a effective and small shaped charge. What if you just put some plastic HE around the case, do you think it will make a good cylindrical shaped charge?
