I went to Dick's in Bay Brook mall (2 hrs distance) this evening for some non shooting items. While the grandson was looking at his stuff, I wandered over to shooting stuff. Low and behold, they had some good pistols in stock, no ammunition, though. They also had some reloading dies, rifle, mostly odd stuff. I was able to pick 2 5 packs of 20 guage slugs for 6 bucks each.

When my dad was in the army around 1970, he talked to an army medic who said he treated guardsmen at kent state for small arms wounds like from a .22 rimfire, fired from a high elevation. Don't know if its true or not and can no longer get more details, but an interesting thought.Originally Posted by 375supermag
The news coverage back then wasn't anymore honest than what we see today when it comes to 'peaceful protesters'.
We're led to believe some Guardsmen saw a few kids walking down the sidewalk, and just shot them.
There was a whole lot more than that going on there, but like riot coverage today--it didn't 'fit the narrative'.
Unlike today:
If you weren't there, all you saw of the event was what short little clips and sound bites
the three news agencies felt like showing you.
Also, back then, it was a Viet Nam war protest.
The news agencies treated the War in Viet Nam about the same way they treated President Trump.
There wasn't any of that---
everybody has a camera, and uploads their video onto social media in 2 minutes.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
EVERYONE!
Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
I was just a kid then, but it wouldn't surprise me. I know that some of the folks there, cops, civilians, and guardsman, say they heard gunfire from a distance. I heard & in some cases read those reports many years latter, though.
I don't have anything like WhatApp, etc.
But last nite I remembered that most ping pong balls are made from nitrocellulose. About 10-12 years ago I tested using them for making smokeless powder. I haven't gotten out my old notes, so that is why I didn't remember them right away.
About 100-170 of them are needed to make a pound of powder, depending what's added. The cost here would range from $24 to $45 per pound of powder. Likely cheaper than buying shotgun shells for the powder.
I'd be EXTREMELY cautious about sharing the stuff you're sharing.

Here we get shotgun cartridge for 1.5 $ which contains 1.5 gm of powder that makes anything else much cheaper than shotgun shell option.
Please share your notes if possible on ameenkitekar@yahoo.co.in

Why? I've been sharing it for over 2 decades. What's changed?
I'll post something here about the ping pong balls in the next few days. You will need a nitrate to have good success.
Sharing information about explosives with random people on the internet, especially when you know they aren't US Citizens violates several Federal laws.

Which Federal laws exactly? Also, what I'm posting about isn't even an explosive. My very first posts on this forum were about making smokeless power in a thread someone else started and was posting about it.
But if you could point me to these Federal laws I certainly won't post on the topic. Thanks in advance.
It's all covered under ITAR.

BTW, you also endanger this forum by using it to share this information.

I'm fairly certain the recipe for ammonpulver is considered public domain.
10 years and 164 pages of info on making explosive propellants.

How did a simple primer question devolve into this? LOL, thread drift is alive and well.
"I noticed primers were out of stock"
"here is a recipe for making explosives"?????

Back to the thread. Looking at GB, all of the offers apparently are from entities that are comfortable shipping hazmat. Again, smell a rat. Pawn shops, LGS doing the selling rather to local people. Who else would be able to do this? I don't see individuals doing this. Just my take. Maybe I'm wrong, not sure.
One of my father's favorite statements: "If I say a chicken dips snuff, look under his wing for the snuffbox" How I was raised, who I am.
Doesn't meet the following under IRAR: "Propellants that can sustain a steady-state burning rate more than 38 mm/s under standard conditions".
