Basically, I got a broom stick, there was a externally threaded pipe that had a inner diameter pretty close to a 22cal shell. I got a drill bit the size of the external diameter of the pipe then drilled a hole through about 6inches of broom stick, then I screwed the pipe into the broomstick and then got a door hinge and screwed it from the broomstick to the bbgun barrel, so it worked like a single shot revolver. I showed him with 1pump, the bb is powerful enough to ignite the 22cal round. So this is where he got the idea from what was going to happen. Couple of days latter I was in the shed making co2 bombs and I had a case of shotgun shells that I was cutting open for their gunpowder. My brother comes along to see what I am doing, so he comes up with the dumbest idea. He takes one of my shotgun shells and barries everything but the metal back end into the ground. He then grabs one of my bb guns, and stands strait above it. ( I knew it was a dumbass idea but I was too curious on what would happen to tell him any better). Hes standing over it with the end of the bbgun barrel to the back of the shell and turns his head away (for protection?). Fires, and the shell blows a crater in the ground, he screams and runs inside. I go inside about 30min later to find no one is home. So he comes back from the hospital 3hrs later because, he had to have a bb removed from his armpit. So basically when he ignited the shell with the bb the explosion sent the bb strait back and into his armpit. My dad started to interrogate me on what happened, because my brother said he shot the brick wall, and the bb ricocheted and came back and hit him, but my dad did not believe any of it because 1 a ricochet from a bb will not go through a shirt, far as well a shirt and into you skin. 2 how do you shot at a wall and get hit in the armpit? I played dumb, but my bro told them the truth later on that night.
Some crazy shit went on at your house!
