Pot, meet kettle.

And please keep boring shite like this out of the Ohio State ng. "Ohio
State" is a rather large university with a rather important football team,
and this group sticks mainly to topics involving one or both of those. I
realize that our cousins across the pond might not know that, but we don't
go to the Man U. group just because some ****** at a restaurant called
Manchesters choked on a chip.

Thanks, and rah rah coalition of the willing.

"Robert Heinbaugh of Plainsville Ohio gained the dubious distinction of being
the first man ever to be shot by a LAWNMOWER! As he cut his grass one summer
evening he ran over a live bullet hidden in the grass which went off and shot
him in the foot. Luckily his wife saw the funny side of it, and mowed the rest

Unlikely.
When you set off a cartridge that's not inside a gun, if it's unrestrained
the brass simply shoots off the bullet (which is heavier) at a relatively
low velocity, due to the very low pressure.
If it is restrained, it bursts the cartridge, again at a very low pressure,
and with a very short 'barrel', little speed is reached by the bullet.
