10. I'm afraid I did something vaguely similar once...

I was 11 years old so stupidity was a condition of life at the time.

I found some bullets lying in the street so I took them home and got out a hammer.
I laid a 2X4 on the ground in front of one of the bullets and hit the end of the case with the hammer.

==BANG!!!==

It went off.
I picked up the 2X4 and inspected it.
Hmm. No hole. It must have spun around and shot off in some other direction.

I put the 2X4 back on the ground and lined up another bullet.

I am lucky to be alive.
Never did manage to shoot the board and I was lucky it didn't hit my dad's tire that was right next to it.

Come to think of it, the 4chan user might have been 11 too.
