Shooting .25 Explosive Pellets

Saw this guide by "ShootingEggs" over on Metacafe, and decided to make a few explosive pellets to try it myself. Making them is basically emptying the powder out of ring caps for cap guns and filling up hollowpoint pellets with it. I found their process of removing the powder overcomplicated and dangerous though, so use it at your own risk (had two caps go off in my face). It's easier and safer to just use the pin to poke through the opposite side and knock the powder out.

Link to the original guide: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2682709/how_to_make_explosive_ammo/

They don't have much power, perhaps a larger cavity pellet would make for a more energetic hit, but are still pretty cool and a step away from the ordinary. If I saw them as particularly dangerous I would not want to spread the information of how to make them, but if you are responsible enough to own a high power pellet rifle, I don't think these make using one much more dangerous. Still, I would not recommend making these if you plan to use them in an unsafe manner.

Thanks for watching!

@CasioEXF1Freak I've got some large cavity .50 hollowpoints on the way actually, I figure it's worth a try

[CasioEXF1Freak]

Now that could be something to try out with that .50 you have.....

[StudioCS5]

Nice, never thought of trying that. Will five it ago

@jcims sm pistol rifle primers are exact fit in .177 bore, and explode when shot.

[jcims]

I wonder if small pistol primers would fit into the tip.

Well done!
