Billy the Kid Unmasked

[jeff of pa]

on Discovery Times right now.

they talk about a Legend.
Bob Olinger (Sp. ?) one of his Jailers,
threatens Billy with a Shotgun Supposedly loaded with
18 Silver Dimes. claiming "it will blow a man clear apart".

ballistics expert Larry Paul says it would do Massive Damage
at up to 20 Feet..

they decide to put the legend to the test using an 1878 Rem. 10 Guage
loaded with 18 Seated Dimes (2 Days wages in 1881).

the Target a side of Pork. with a Cotton Shirt.
and a High Speed Camera to catch everything.

the dimes bounce off hardly denting the hide.

then with Buck Shot they Proove it is Cheaper then dimes and actually works.

MY Point, being the coins Bounced in all directions, some missing completly, If someone can, do the right Research to see where
they did this test. there is a "slight" chance they didn't find all the seated dimes they used for the test, unless they took a detector with them.

Jeff,

always hunting

have a good un........

 

[Gypsy Heart]

So....the real question is how far a dime can bounce off a pig?

 

[jeff of pa]

Who ever loaned them the dimes probably made sure that they got them back.

I doubt it personally mememe. for one, the fact they were being shot out of a Shotgun tells me, "You Break 'em, You Bought 'em"

Jeff,

Lee ;

When I see a woman throw her ring in a pond in a Movie,
I wonder what she actually threw & if it's still there .

I still wonder what's in Camp Crystal Lake (besides Jason :P )

When I was gowing up..There was a rumor of a farmer down the road who used Pennies in his 12ga to protect his Sweet corn..
That's all it took..A rumor..Noone wanted to find out if it was true.. And he never had problems

Jeff.... ....that's a terrible longshot!

Yes but If you happen to Know where they do their testing.
and it's just out of town From you. My guess you'd head out
and swing there a Little

 

[Mojave]

No, I guess I'd totally be there if it were close enough......

[jeff of pa]

[Skrimpy]

Saw that one too! Very unfortunate! The barrel of the shotgun probably nicked the hell out of them too! Why couldint they just use new rosies? Morons.
