    Would this work?

    Wasn't sure whether to put it in Smoking, Shooting, or P.I. :P

    So I chose AH, so what do ye think?






    Also, anyone else got any weird theories?

    Bullet casing would just fly out the tip of the cigarette, bullet wouldn't move much. Would probably blow the end off your smoke too.

    would work if you were tryin to commit suicide but no good if you want to smoke a cigarette!

    Only if for some reason the person lighting it held the flame on it for 15 minutes and the smoke didn't burn down dropping the bullet out the end. So no, but I like the way you're thinking.

    I'm wondering if the bullet would be propelled or not, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

    I dout it'd work.. but there's only one way to find out

    There's a reason why a percussion cap is called a percussion cap...:rolleyes: If the thing did fire, the round would just tumble.

    Here's a good concealed gun...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,015 ✭✭✭CreepingDeath


    Bullets are ignited by a steel pin piercing the bottom of the bullet.
    It would probably take a lot of heating to fire the bullet.

    Also, without a gun barrel the energy would be dispersed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,132 ✭✭✭Killer Pigeon


    Why does the OP want to know?

    OP, I think you should go to the 'Personal Issues' forum -- before it's too late.

    I'm nearly sure AH know why I ask, and the reason behind why I wouldn't do it ;)

    Only one way to REALLY find out...

    To my theory I mean.

    I like the music they used.

    Oh, you probably wouldn't be able to killing yourself will that cigarette gun. As someone said there earlier you need a proper barrel to concentrate the energy. The bullet would move a little but not that far.

    Yes, I agree, let's just post videos and picture of guns and shit.

    Cigarettes don't need embedded bullets to kill, so it's a bit pointless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,084 ✭✭✭dubtom


    So does this mean that all those movies where the amo dump gets hit and bullets are heard zipping by are bogus.Actually I did think if a bullet was put in an open fire it would ,well, fire,is this not true?

    No, the base of the bullet has a sweet spot with a percussion charge, which denotes if hit with enough force by the firing pin in the gun.
    Enough heat would cause a bullet to fire too, but without a gun barrel it's like a little explosive charge, the force would go in all directions like a banger.
    It probably won't fly off in the direction of the bullet.

    They would be quicker , less painful and not that much of a financial drain on society .:pac:

    That's not knife, this is a knife.:pac:

    It's called a Pfeifer-Zeliska .600, the most powerful handgun in the world...:rolleyes:

    I'm bemused by the 'Aim every shot' sign in the background.

    Even when I'm arsing around from the hip, I aim in the general direction....

    Do the infamous posters of the AH not realise he is saying that smoking is self-harming and thus similar to shooting oneself..??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,158 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    Next time I meet you in person PG Im going to smoke right into your face and for your amusement I might even put a match head into the top of my cigarette so you can feel like you sort of won. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,221 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    Nah, wouldn't work, unless he was trying to light his cigarette for quite some time ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,555 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


    The force of the assumed explosion maybe?

    it would take a long time to explode.

    Its a fireing pin that triggers the explosion of the powder, when it expoldes, the force of the trapped explosion in the gun chamber causes the bullet to fire. You'd be suprised how un-amazing the explosion is when you say try to ignite it outside the gun..
