kitchrat Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I have another danger to announce. You know those little 7Ah batteries for a flapper? Well, it's JUST posible for the brass end of a cartridge to short the terminals out and THAT SETS IT OFF!!. I know 'cos it happened to me when driving home in my truck. I just emptied the catridges from my pocket into a box which had a battery in it. 20 mins later, 70mph in the middle lane of a 3-lane road - Flash, Bang, Wallop- lead rattled around inside the cab!!! Scared the life out of me but no harm done as the shot was not constrained after it left the hull. Now, if it had been in a pocket? ?? Take care!
