Here is a story, I have never tried to verify it. A guy in a pickup truck used a .22 cal. bullet for a fuse. Guess what happened? Supposedly it went off.

Myth Busters (TV show) did a bit on this a couple weeks ago, proved it would be possible. Test dummy sustanied a few "injuries" but not serious as the expoded bullet(s) (they repeated the test several times) were not directed as they would be in a chamber. Still, would be a painful experience, considering where the fuse block was located (Chevy pickup) and where the bullet fragments hit....

And I thought WE had the 'smarts market' cornered by using the concrete nail then driving some 50 very fast, very dark freeway miles...
