-- Posted by MechanicalReaper on 7:33 pm on Mar. 13, 2002 ok by a box of 12 gauge shot gun shells preferably bird shot or buck shot then put a pin in a small hole in the ground and carefully place the shell a centimeter from the tip so the tip of the pin is lined up with the center of the shell then make it so the shell is barely visible but it far enough out of the ground for some one to step on it and press it onto the pin which will fire the shell and blow off their leg and the ballz and whatever it goes through :) -- Posted by JT666 on 3:42 pm on Mar. 14, 2002 Sounds a bit timid shouldnt there be something substantial to hold the pin couse i dont really think dirts gonna keep it in place also they need too be hit faily to go off so maybe if ..... you had a piece of capped peice of pipe sized enough to fit a shell in then get a bolt and stick it through a hole and bolt it on then sharpen too a point so is like a pin then put a couple of theese on a board then bury .... could be nasty though .......

You will end up killing someone, or yourself?

However, I do think that if you are trying to keep your neighbor or some animal out of your backyard, covered pits may be more practical.       http://www.bombshock.com
