I use these for rural lion hunting, primer only, sort of like a catch & release hunting.

If he is not single, he will soon be. My wife would be beyond POed.

Now you know why his wife keeps his tools locked in the safe. When unlocked he just really gets out of hand. That was pretty cool though.
Ok, I have a couple of jars of earplugs, some 9mm brass and a gun. It works.

put a buffer card under the plugs and you won't get the hole in them.

OK this is NOT a new concept. Speer made and probably still makes plastic projectiles that could be shot with a primered brass case. I had a target setup for shooting my .44 Rem Mag Ruger in my basement. The target was a cardboard box with an inner tube cut in strips to catch the projectiles to prevent bouncing back to you. It is well known a primer has enough power to lodge a bullet in the barrel, ask me how I know (yep Rugers are well made)! However, having access to a bunch of old ear plugs, this looks like cheap fun! And I like the idea of a cardboard wafer behind the plug!

Speer also made plastic cases with plastic bullets for indoor use....propelled by a primer. The bullet trap was a throw rug hanging behind the paper target.

If you have trouble getting an earplug to stay in your ear, this may be a way to insert if more effectively. :bigsmyl2:

you'd have to squish it down and get it done pretty quickly..:lol:
I have a box full of the speer capsules for my 45 colt revolvers, I drilled the flash holes out on the cases I use with them, and keep everything together in a shoe box.
I bet my mom can get a lot madder when she catches someone having a shoot out with their little brother in her basement, than his wife can about some paint removal.
you'd think a couple of in their 40's grown men would be above getting a cuff behind the ear.
it was worth it to see little bro's wife shoot some diet coke out her nose though.

Was surprised that he had no hearing protection even with just primers.

I figured "Dumb ***" would work too, but there are health issues with shooting indoors that needs to be addressed

A retired buddy of mine has a favorite expression,, Ya just can’t fix stupid !
And they wonder where kids get ideas from?
At least he does say a few times NOT TO TRY THIS AT HOME ! Makes me feel better cause kids will listen now.

If you put a backer behind the earplug, you should be prepared to get higher velocity than he did. Kind of like a gas check, limiting blow by or blow through in his case.
