Delete comment from: The War on Guns
In my misspent youth, I too detonated 22 rounds with a hammer. Unlike this idiot, I knew that it was going to go off, so I used gloves, safety glasses, and a heavy coat.
Based on multiple experiments, I can say with authority that the bullet will move less than 12 inches. OTOH, the brass case, or pieces of it, will fly more than 20 feet.
The clown probably got hit by a small piece of the case, and the "abrasion" was likely a first degree burn.
