Ellwood Epps in Orilllia, Ontario used to have a “wall of shame” where blown up rifles, shotguns, and pistols were mounted on the wall with a descriptor as to what caused the blow up. One memorable one was a .303 barrel that was turned into shrapnel by the owner cutting off the tips of exposed lead base FMJs in an effort to make lead pointed hunting bullets. The owner was killed according to the descriptor on the wall with the shredded barrel. The first one went bang. The second one went BOOM!!! Believe it or not whether it could happen, I’ll NEVER be so cheap as to risk my life over a Mickey Mouse effort to save a couple of bucks attempting to turn something into another thing that it was never intended to be.
