Moravec added that the reservist, who returned from Afghanistan last fall with the tracer, had a 'respected history in the military'.

Had, as in past tense.

I knew a guy who was doing what he shouldn’t with a 50 cal round. Ended up losing his thumb and two fingers and got a medical discharge from the Corps.

How about the guy who took a drill to a WWII German “potato-masher” grenade?

That didn’t end well.

I don’t drink. I used to but not for forty years or so. I know I tried to get drunk enough to do this sort of thing but I don’t think I ever quite got there.

I can’t quite imagine taking a torch to a .25acp round.

You would THINK that the idiot would have removed the bullet from the round, first. . . .
