I actually knew a really stupid guy who told me this really stupid thing he does with bullets.
He fills hollowpoints with mercury and caps it with melted wax under the theory that the lead becomes liquid and the bullet becomes some sort of super-frangible round...
I did take the time to point out to him that he'd likely be breathing a fine mercury/lead vapor every time he fired one of these. This didn't seem to bother him... but, of course he's already pretty stupid and the heavy metal poisoning could hardly make him worse.
The good news is he no longer lives here and is now down in the lower 48 some place - probably one of your neighbors...
Anybody heard anything dumb enough to match that?
