In '68 we used to pull the bullets from tracer rounds pour the powder out the push the round back into the case. All the way in. Then pour the powder back in set on the ground and touch a lit cigarett to the powder and move the hell away. It'll launch the round a fair distance, depending on the round. 5.56 twenty yards. 7.62 seventy yards, depending on elevation. .50 cal. Man it'll for the end of the bullet through a 2x12. Very pretty at night. we would launch them at the other bunkers at night. Fun but luckily never got caught. Wasn't too smart though. Seems it located the bunkers for some unsavory characters. Of course it wasn't like they didn't already know where we were.
