Ran out of the usual ball bearings so I raided my nuts and bolts box and went for a plink with my new Wasp. I didn't think the nuts would be very accurate but I was surprised how good they actually were, and they really seemed to tear through the can with vicious jagged holes. Might even be a good choice of ammo for rat hunting. This is with 6mm and 8mm nuts, and surprisingly I think the 6mm penetrated the can easier, but the 8mm carried an almighty wollap.

"This is with 6mm and 8mm nuts, and surprisingly I think the 6mm penetrated the can easier, but the 8mm carried an almighty wollap."

Smaller ammo traveling faster penetrates better, all else being the same. We have had members fill the holes in nuts with lead for some really effective hunting ammo.

Nice shooting!

I'm currently trying to get hold of some square nuts, the ones with the really sharp corners instead of the rounded ones.

You wreak havoc with nuts!I like!

 

[Pebble Shooter]

Hex nuts tied together by string, and you have "bolas" of sorts. Give this a try:

You will need a large pouch. For safety reasons, preferably use a fist grip slingshot with higher forks to keep your fingers well out of the way, just in case. :hmm:

That would suit my "Marble Cannon" quite well. Big slingshot, wide forks and big pouch.

Nuts work well just don’t smack a fork of a nice wood sling shot makes a ugly mess fast

What Henry Said.

M8's...

Also needle bears work very well.

Wingshooter (a fellow retiree) has reported and demonstrated impressive results using cubes cut from 3/8-inch square steel stock. Just used a hacksaw to create the cubes.

 

[mattwalt]

Actually KawKan reminded me - also another guy was using rebar and round bar cut into sections. Again they cause devastating damage...

I'd assume the 'ultimate' SS ammo may be like a round hand grenade type shape... Or even golf ball dimples. These non round ammo types arn't necessarily any less accurate.

 

[cavedweller]

Yeah, I found out cutting old bolts and steel rod into little sections about 3/4 of an inch long makes some really nasty ammo. I don't know how accurate it is long range as it tumbles but for close work it really messes things up.
