well heres a fun one i stumbled on too while trying to get the primer out of a .22 shell and it blew up on me....gave me an idea....now take a nail and a film canister...following me? now take the nail and push it through the MIDDLE of the top of the film can...you know where the little indentation is...now push the nail through so that it hits the bottom of the film can...so obviously the lid is ON the can now you only need the end of the nail to extend about 1/4 to 1/2 sticking out of the top...if not the trigger is WAY TOO OBVIOUS now you need a cardboard circle to fit nicely inside the bottom of the canister and make sure it fits OVER that stupid little bump on the bottom...or better yet....put some epoxy around the bump so that the whole bottom is flat now take a .22 shell...no shot at the top, that little bullet thing./.. i dont know what its called ( i used really hard to find shot called CB's since their really small but it is a .22 shot) now set the shell in the canister so that you can see the rimer...this is where the sharp end of the nail goes (this is your trigger) so make sure the sharp end of the nail is touching (or really really close)the primer...now keep in mind its probably capped (the canister with the nail) so all you have to do is press the nail...and bang....now i put some match powder just to heighten the explosion...try diff powders and mixes to find a good explosion...these are perfect without any powders and just with the shell to scare the hell out of people.... ------------------ |

.22's dont contain primers, they're rimfire. This means the priming compound is around the rim, therefor if you use a sharp nail youll miss the explosive. More thought is needed on your part. btw- the little bullet things are ...... bullets :P |

An even better cheap landmine is described in one of the books Im gonna put up for posting... It was used in vietnam by the VC's and was called a foot breaker if i'm not mistaken. It was a bullet (you could use a shotgun shell for a better effect) in a hole with a nail underneath it so that the primer was resting on the nail. The top of the bullet was flush with the ground and was covered wih a piece of bamboo matting which was covered with dirt. So your happy little soldier came along, stood on the trap, the shell pushed against the nail, the primer fired, the soldier had a fucked up foot. In theory... ------------------ |

Come on, surely it would be cheaper and just goddamn quicker to buy BP, or salvage it from somewhere than use match powder, and a hell of a lot more powerful. ------------------ |

Issues of stability come to mind aswell. |

ok now im not sure about primers and crap but the nail fits INSIDE the shell so that the sharp end is resting on that powdery-solid thing on the bottom...now keep in mind i used CB's not .22 shells ------------------ |

It dosnt matter if they are CB's or not. They are still a rimfire shell. All the primer is in the rim of the case (hense the name "rim-fire"). If you ever shot one of these and looked at the empty case... it's impact is on the outer edge of the shell. This is where it must be hit to be fired. Thats also why rim fires cant be reloaded. If you put a nail hole in the middle of it... you'll likely just put a hole in it, and dump the powder out. By the way... i hope no one goes punching holes in the middle of their 22's to get the powder out now... use some common sense.

first off this CANT be a rimfire because all the stuff is inside the WHOLE cartridge because thats where it appears to be...im not a gun expert...but if someone could tell me where to find a site that would explain to me what thisa rimfire madness is...id be apprecuatuve now anyway you dont drill the damn shot you take the bullet out of the top and then dump the powder out to get to the little thing at the bottom this is where your nail goes...so it might now have to be a .22....just a shot that fits in the film can ------------------ |

ok ok my mistake it is a rimfire but you dont place the nail on the BACK but rather DOWN the cartrudge itself...take the bullet out of the top and stick the nail where the bullet was...now do you people semi understand? ------------------ |

still, the explosive is in the rim, to hit the explosive you would need to use a .22 cal nail and cut the end off at an angle. below is a crap picture showing the bare brass in the centre of the case, the back(actually green) ring around it is the explosive.  |
