Hi,
Had a couple of hardware items that had let me down over the past few week, nothing too important lost but still annoying anyway.
Had a bit of a think on a suitable method of disposal, bin? Tip? Buried at sea? Nope, thought id take em out and shoot the hell out of em (am I the only one that’s ever thought of seeing a PC shot to bits ?)
Guns used were as follows:
CZ452 .17HMR Varmint
Baikal .12g shotgun.
First a little pic of the items before they went to the big component shop in’t sky.
Before, don’t they look happy
First off 20 rounds of .17HMR, this is a potent little bullet. Specs as follows:
Calibre: .17HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire)
Weight: 17grain
Speed: 2550fps (1738.63 MPH)
Energy: 245.51 ft/lbs
First 20, cover blew off HDD after the 4th shot.
Another Pic
Now to introduce the shotty shot type used:
Calibre: 12 Guage, 2 ¾ “
Shot Weight: 30gram of AAA Buckshot
Fairly much a direct hit with both barrels on the HDD
More carnage
End state, think they well and truly F’d
Just to clarify before ending this post and the flaming starts, between me and my shooting buddy weve got over 40 years of combined shooting experience going on. All items were disposed of correctly in the bin. At no time was any one in danger.
May produce another one of these threads next week dependant on how this one goes........ To that end, any requests lol
Thanks for looking,
Dave.
