"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
An interesting test ... ... I expect a lot of milk testers had acid burns on their hands. I flinched a couple of times during the demonstration. That concentration of sulfuric acid is no joke.
Unrelated, but I'm all excited. I have a Martini/Henry, brought back from Afghanistan.(I feel for the Brit soldier who lost it in the 1870s) that I bought in VA 20 years ago. Ammo is hard to find and more than $20/round when you can find it. I was looking for ammo and saw an adapter that fits in the chamber and you can fire .45acp. I just hope it doesn't blow up the gun.
They're the ones they should have used. As I recall, they used Enfields in the movie. Cuz movie folks know jack and squat about guns. I'll invite a guy I don't like and let him fire it. I have 50 or so rounds of .450/577, so if it blow up, I'll make bank selling the ammo.

Ask a friend at the range to fire it first.
DeleteI wish you joy of your discovery. Isn't that the same rifle that the British soldiers used in the movie Zulu?
