Anyone here into firearms?

Dogs are a good deterrent. If that doesn't work, a nice 12-gauge works well.

Frost is that yours? Ive been thinking of getting a kimber instead of a springfield but they are so expensive. Also, there is a guy here in the valley that makes a custom 1911 called the Big Bore 1911. Smoothest gun I have ever shot in my life. Almost no recoil.

I'd like to see the staties try...
Again, I agree. I have 2 dogs and several guns. Woe unto those who dare enter my realm uninvited.

Does anyone know what this is? My friend found it at Home Depot around a bunch of nail guns when looking for pop rivets. I guess he didn't want to ask anyone there. He says they had ones with yellow caps and red caps as well. They are .22 rimfire rounds and we're both kinda wondering if they shoot like blanks, and the force is used to drive a nail in (as opposed to pneumatic nail guns). Anyone? Hopefully you guys can save me a trip to Home Depot cause I'm dying to know. They're stamped SuperX on the bottom.

It's a blank! But don't wack it with a hammer. The wadding can penetrate the skull, it has some force behind it!

So despite it being a blank it still ejects something? What if it were fired down a .22 handgun or rifle? I'm asking because I don't want to try it :P

Yes, it still ejects a small piece of wadding that is used as a seal up at the crown (otherwise it'd leak gunpowder out).

On October 12, 1984, between filming scenes on the set of Cover Up, Hexum was critically wounded after he placed a .44 Magnum prop gun loaded with blanks to his temple and pulled the trigger.[5] The accident happened during the filming of a scene where Hexum’s character (Mac Harper) was supposed to unload a handgun and replace the bullets with blanks—as the script required. The shooting was, however, delayed due to a technical difficulty and Hexum fell asleep on the set. Hexum awoke approximately fifteen minutes later and, realizing the scene was still not ready to be shot, began playing with the gun. He eventually placed the gun to his head and pulled the trigger.[6]

Hexum was apparently not aware that blanks use paper or plastic wadding to seal gun powder into the shell, and that this wadding is propelled from the barrel of the gun with enough force to cause severe injury or death if the weapon is fired within a few inches of the body, especially if pointed at a particularly vulnerable spot, such as the temple or the eye. Although the paper wadding in the blank that Hexum discharged did not penetrate his skull, the wad struck him in the temple with enough blunt force trauma to shatter a quarter-sized piece of his skull and propel the pieces into his brain, causing massive hemorrhaging.[1][7]

Hexum was rushed to the Beverly Hills Medical Center, where he underwent five hours of surgery to repair his wounds.[7] On October 18, six days after the accident, Hexum was declared brain dead. Hexum's mother Greta allowed his body, still connected to life support, to be flown to San Francisco for organ transplants.[2] Hexum's heart was then implanted into a 36-year old Las Vegas escort service owner who was awaiting a heart transplant.[8] Hexum's kidneys and corneas were also harvested and placed in organ transplant banks before his body was flown back to Los Angeles for autopsy and burial.[2]

Hexum's death was ruled accidental.[9] Hexum's mother later received an out-of-court settlement from Twentieth Century Fox Television and Glenn Larson Productions, the production team behind Cover Up.[1]

Four weeks after Hexum's death, Cover Up resumed airing without Hexum's character, Mac Harper, who was killed in action. The return episode also featured a tribute to Hexum.[10] Antony Hamilton replaced Hexum as the show's new male lead. [11] Cover Up was canceled after its first season due to low ratings.[12]

^^^Fun stuff, when I used to do reconstruction in N.Cali we had a gun that you load the sabot nail from the muzzle then put a blank in the breech.
