/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I know that local Afghan people take the spent casings and either melt them down or just sell them as scrap metal

hoard them until you have enough to sell as scrap. ask at the gun store.

>>778921
That. Or make these things.

/k/ here.

reload them. or sell them to a reloader,

>>778920
>>778952

Really the best option is one of these two.

If you want to make something with cast brass, then go for it. Otherwise see which one will net you more money, and sell them I guess.

There's also the repurposed jewelry shit, but people tend to prefer having the bullets with the cartridge for those.

>hammer them flat until they shear apart into 2 pieces
>make something from the panels

make small hunting calls with them.

I see an old man make and sell em all the time on facebook. Seems cool enough, and as a /k/ommando for 10-15 bucks i don't mind

Accumulate more shells. Fill a bathtub with them. Bathe in the freedom.

String them on a clip.
Fill with varied amount of solid filler.
innazone pan pipe!

Hurricane whistles

Bottle openers

Cut a slit down the length and epoxy a cheap folding knife in it add key chain ring.

Fill a box with quick easy gifts.
Birthday? *rummage rummage toss* here ya go!

> weapons.

Brass has good tonal qualities. .308 in particular has a good note.

Go to a music store and get a small cymbal. Drill holes around the edge, or in whatever pattern you like. Punch out/drill out primers. Wear a mask for this part. Hang casings on fishing line/chain from cymbal.

You now have an awesome wind and rain chime.

>No retards. That goes to /i'mafuckingdumbass/

I made this once

>>781428
jajaja

>>781373
>this fucking butt heart about weapons
Plz leave and never come back libtard

>>781429
Am i the only one who gets extremely annoyed every time i see this? i feel like punching you in the face...

>>779712
Doesn't work like that. The freedom is spent when you fire them.

>>781391
Second the wind chimes idea.

>>779712
This is really the only reasonable option OP

My boss also runs a side business where he collects spent casings from ranges and sells it somewhere, presumably as scrap metal but I don't actually know for sure. So I guess look/ask around and see if you can sell them somewhere?

You can make little rockets with rocket candy mix. They are extremely fun and dangerous. That's pretty much fun^2

Seat cheap FMJ's and attach to a chain through the vacant primer pocket. Sell as jewellery.

>>778919
Melt it down, and use it yourself or sell it as scrap.

That metal's expensive, man.

>>782359
Came here to say metal casting.

Washington DC law does not allow you to have even spent ammo casings. Unless you have a registered firearm.

So clean the brass of your finger prints and dna. Then sprinkle some freedom around, on the property of anti gun politicians' houses. Then find a pay phone(i know) and call the police on them.

>>778919
Sell them to somebody who is interested in reloading. They'll pay more than you'll get for melted-down scrap.

>>782386
That's illegal.

>>778919
Go to a gun show and sell them if they're once-fired, save them for scrap if they're not.

>>778919
hole punches for leather and other stuff things?

I personally don't like using anything smaller then 50cal shells. but maybe you can.. if you can find bearings small enough. build a mini-jet engine...

like I said. 50cal shells are a fuckton easier to work with. but I suppose a .308 win shell might be big enough. if you can find some bearings small enough.

>where do you get the 50cal shells?
Dad's navy reserve now, he goes on gun shoots at least once or more a year. just ask for a pocket full of them, and he gives them to me when he see's me. he says they throw them out, so it's not stealing. lol, I don't question it. its better then paying for used shells.

NO the turbines aren't powerful enough to push even a paper airplane. just for show/cool factor.

>>778919
They make great blasting caps.

>>782464
so are half of the laws that they pass

>>782926

>>778919
Sell them to reloaders. Shits like 40 cents per shell at least.

>>778919
1000A fuse.

>>781428
You only made that once?

>>783294
Those are blown fuses. Also, says right here it's only 350A.

I just made a cane tipped with a 45/70 govt casing

>>783803

>>783764
Great. Now I wanna eat a bread with 16a fuse

>>781435
You are not alone

>>778919
UKfag here, I used to hoard these (spent blanks and lives) from army training grounds. Filled a hessian sack with them and finally threw them away last year because despite being fun as fuck to find, they were useless to keep.

>>778919
Shooter/reloader and /k/ommando here.

Sell them to a reloader if they are in good shape. Make sure they are boxer primed first.

If Berdan primed, they are much less desirable to reloaders as berdan primers are a bitch to find right now.

>>781373
It is scrap metal at this point.

>>781428
Did you just solder unfired rounds?

Put a flower in one. Take a nice picture of it. Post it on Tumblr.

Britain's
laws concerning firearms are pretty strict, but they work – gun
crime is extremely unusual over here. The argument about British cops
not carrying guns is bullshit – your average beat bobby doesn't
have a gun because, thanks to guns being harder to get than even the
most illegal of drugs, he doesn't *need*
one. The going rate for a 9mm auto in the British criminal world is
about £200, with bullets costing £5 apiece; that's
about another £100 for a high-capacity magazine's worth. The
long and the short of it is, much as the NRA may hate to admit it,
gun control *works*.
It doesn't work *perfectly*,
but a thing doesn't have to be perfect to work *well*.
Or maybe we're just a calmer bunch than the Yanks.

>>785352
Nice fantasy bruv.

>>785352
>Or maybe we're just a calmer bunch than the Yanks.
Lel.

I'll probably be told to go back to /pol/ for saying this, but if you remove blacks and hispanics from the crime statistics crime rates plummet across the board (mainly because 80% of all homicides are gang-related and white street gangs haven't been a thing since prohibition) and the US ends up with s homicide rate marginally higher than Finland, guns and all - "Yanks" have had fuck all to do with it since the gangster era ended and even then it was almost all Italians and Irish running organized crime, not the WASPs. Sure that adjusted rate is higher than the UK's, but then again the US has had a higher homicide rate than the UK for as long as there are comparable statistics, even when civilians living in both countries could order machine guns through the mail.
