But I thought better of it in the end as it could of gone bad

yea a stick of jelly would be more effective

A fire cracker would be the go for that. Those little ones that just go pop but dont actually shoot anything out. Safe and clean fun except for the dudes undies

Fixed it for you :-)

Over the weekend me and some mates decided to go spotlighting for possums. I put 30 or so loose rounds into my chest pocket, along with a spare battery (18650) for the scope-mounted torch. Bad move.

I witnessed that happening. Also shooting possum. The battery shorted across the rim setting off the cartridge. I don't recall the bullet being found, just the case which was not blown open.

Hell, glad it wasnt just us. We were all a bit confused about how the rifle may have fired with the bolt open but lucky Damz is a safe arms handler as we all nhave to be when night shooting in a small group.
