Amazing fact #138
David Fawthrop wrote in message . ..
Robert Heinbaugh of Plainsville, Ohio, has the distinction of being the first person in the world to be shot by a lawn mower... As he cut the grass one evening, he ran over a live bullet which went off and shot him in the foot. This is nonsense. When a cartridge detonates outside a gun's chamber, the bullet barely moves. The cartridge case may split and the primer may go flying, but the bullet travels only a short distance at low velocity. An unconfined bullet can't develop the pressure necessary to hit with any force. This has been confirmed by repeated tests. . If the bullet or case was struck by the blade and sent flying, that's a different story. J. Del Col |
