RE: 22. bullet fired in pocket
Had to be the batteries. 90 deg. isnt hot enough to set of the powder.
What were you doing sitting in a stand? It was hot as hell today. |
RE: 22. bullet fired in pocket
my guess is that a battery shifted and set off the primer.
ETA- Are you okay? did you get hurt at all? |
RE: 22. bullet fired in pocket
question: did the bullet exit your pants or stay inside? did you get hurt or just pee your pants? just curious.

WOW. I bet that got your attention.

Dang!! That sounds like a good test for mythbusters!

Sounds like a story to me. The batterys and the 90 degree heat aren't in of themselves enough to make a 22 bullet go off. It would take a lot more heat than that, no way the batterys produced any elctricity to cause the ignition. Either need way more heat, or a stiff strike on the base of the casing to cause it to fire.

I ave heard of such a thing. It was reported in the American Rifleeman years ago. But there were no batteries involved. Just a 22 RF cartridge going off in someone's pocket.

I don't see how it can happen.

RE: 22. bullet fired in pocket
I could see it haapening the rim got dinged on a battery or a coin, not sure that a small batter would have enoug juice to set one off, but I wouldn't pry it. The priming compound is extremely shock sensitive!
