We'd take the empty 22 case, cut off the heads of matches and stuff the case with them, then bend over end of case with pliers. Then put 'filled' case on the concrete, and smack it hard with a hammer. Boom!! Certainly worked with matches back then - farm boys thought it was a great joke.

we used to do the same as kids , but had to stop (ohhh muuum ?!!?) after a few to many shrapnel injuries (only small cuts, no lost limbs that I can remember)
