Dude, you were shooting people with metal slugs from an air cannon. That's assault (and battery, if you hit people)...how angry should they have been, in your opinion?Shrapnel wrote:Maybe that's why the police were angrier than they shoulda been at me for boiling coins and shooting them at people...

I am judging the philosophies and decisions you have presented in this thread. The ones I have seen look bad, and also appear to be the fruit of a poisonous tree that has produced only madness and will continue to produce only madness.

Well, I was making incredible scientific strides in the field of not only coin-cannons, but assholery as well. I deserved a Nobel Douche Prize, dammit!
However, I never actually managed to hit many people. Sometimes their cars, but never the people. Not because I didn't try; I'm just a bad shot.
In short: Much, much angrier. I did all that work, and all I got was a stern warning and my air cannon destroyed. I was like ten or so, so I couldn't really be arrested, but still...

On a less explodey level, if you heat a 1981 and 1983 penny in a blowtorch for ~30 seconds the 1981 one will bounce and the 1983 one wont (the liquid zinc core damps the inertia).FrankTrollman wrote:You can make pennies explode with a blow torch (zinc expands faster than the copper). But on low heat in water they should be fine. People boil coins to clean them all the time. I'm guessing you had the heat on way too high and it was allowed to transfer too easily through the metal pot itself.
