My grandchild did that and set himself on fire 4 months in the hospital with skin drafts and still going through treatment after 8 years.
Last year they had to fix his ankle.

Best of luck. That's brutal.

reminds to have my buddy properly label All of the fuel containers when he gets back from vacation.
Diesel is different color container, but the straight gasoline and oil mix gasoline all go into red containers everyone is too much in a hurry to mark. Grrrrrr.

Hey @MOPARMITCH

 

[Mattax]

Somewhere I have a few boxes of wooden bullets with the N. insignia on them.

I've seen some discussions about wood bullets on the ammo collectors forum. I forget why I was looking. When I remember I'll see if I can find it. Was US military related.

Not that I know anything but you got some close up pictures Ray would like to see them.

Early... prior to US adoption... it was a plug in the bullet. 1850's (ish)... I'd have to pull a book to get specifics

Treasures. Well there's the family Jewels, but I'm not posting them. At least not anytime soon.

If it's a full "bullet" I'm not sure. Lots of odd stuff messed with by Europeans

Towards the end of ww2, the Germans running low on air burst 88 mm shells, turned out ones made from various hardwoods, they just stuck the detonator devices in them and boom. Not sure how effective that was but still impressive
