And the recent thread on using live ammunition to make a pen is one of them.
I can't believe that anyone is serious when they want to take live ammunition apart to make a pen out of it; and then come into a public forum to ask directions because they don't have a clue what they are doing.
This an accident waiting to happen, and anyone responding to such a question is taking personal responsibility for the persons injury. I can hear their lawyer now, "but you said this was safe in your internet message."
I have no idea what the liability and responsibility of the IAP would be, but prudence tells me that proceedures that are dangerous and could cause personal injury or loss of life should be no part of the IAP. People who are Hell bent on killing themselves, either from ignorance or on purpose, should be ignored, and such questions as this should be removed from the IAP by those who can do that.
I know that a lot of the things we do can be dangerous when not done properly, but I think it is insanity to go out of our way to ecourage someone to do something that has a good chance of causing personal injury, when there are other ways to get around the problem. There are any number of members here who would gladly send the person asking the question some empty cartriges that are safe and harmless. Handling old live ammunition is neither safe nor harmless, and the IAP should be no part of it.
Off the soap box.
