It seems like so many gun-people in the US have this inner need to always be telling you about how many guns they own or showing off what they have.
Yeah, it's bonkers really, but then the world is full of examples of this with many other things. People want to show off.
I don't like guns
I don't like guns either...well, not any more than I like a hammer, my 4x4, my hair brush...They're just a tool I use.
very much like the shell I used to have from a WWII era plane.
Spitfires used a .303 ammunition and Mustangs used a .50 cal. The .50 is much bigger than those I have pictured in this post and the .303 is about the same size as the larger round in this post.
My image below shows a .50 cal to the left (chain-link) and the 6.5mm CM as used in this post which is the one with the red and black markings (used to identify my brass as opposed to someone else's.) Next to that on the left is .308 and the others are 22.250, 9mm and .22 calibres. The .50 is about as long as my hand. I'm not saying these calibres are what was in all WWII planes because it wasn't, just two of them.
I seem to remember it had a hole drilled in it
This is done to render it safe/unusable. I have a hand grenade with a hole drilled in for the same reason.
Thanks for all the information! I wish I still had that shell he bought me way back then. Ah well. As kids we misplace things that we want to have back as adults.
Great attitude!
I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find one online, they turn them into bottle openers and all sorts of things. But it won't be the same, I know.
Also, I don't actually have a hairbrush...my hair stays perfectly in place 24/7. Ok, not really, I use a comb. And now you know something you didn't know. 🤣
