The only suggestion I would make is upgrade to .40 or 7.62mm If you do another one, black hard ano would be the only appropriate finish.

Only reason I went with the 9mm's is the .45's were too big to get 6 rounds on it. Caliber wise, yeah, I could do different ones, but colors, the only anodizing place I know of only does black.

Might work for schrader, but I think it would be too large for presta. You would have to thread the inside of the shell. Very cool idea though! I wonder if I could fill a shell, then drill and tread it the size of a presta valve???

I think Jesse James might get mad you stole his idea. Those are standard on bikes made by West Coast Choppers.

"Live" is the only way to go. It would take a lot to set one off since they are center fire.

took all the powder out.

I've blown up primers before.
Trust me on this, you DO NOT want live primers on that sucker...

Think mid-range fire cracker that is directionally focused at you face, and only takes an impact to ignite....
