    Hi guys,

    I am not 100% sure this is the right place to post this, but it was the first match when I googled "how recognize bullet".
    So I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of bullet this is?

    Many thanks to any hint.

    Greetings from Europe

    Wow , that was FAST!!!
    Many thanks, a friend of mine posted it. It was on the balcony of her neighbour (from Pakistan) and she was pretty scared.
    But could it be a commemorative item? there is something written on it. Can you decipher it?

    Again , many thanks


    Bye

    Hi,

    I think she ment that she was not expecting to see this on the balcony of a residential apartment. I fully agree on that.
    She added that the neighbour is from Pakistan, and this might sound like a racist insinuation which I don´t agree on but I understand.

    Nah, not at all. People do different things all over the world, heck we do things differently here in various parts of the US.

    Take Brad (FormerJughead), for instance, from Oregon. He thinks one bath a week is definately overkill, while here in the South, we bathe at least once a day.

    And we in Minnesota take showers because we don't see the point of sitting in a tub full of dirty water. :D

    Same here. I don't like to wash my face with the same water my butt has been sitting in.

    If you do your face first... (nevertheless, I take a daily shower as well).

    Now that we've got our hygiene habits spread out all over the internet :D, has anyone been able to make out the writing on the casing of the round in question?

    I realize that to you low country hooligans everything east of the Mississippi is Oregon but out here, past the injun country, water is a might scarce and bathing is a luxury; thats why we invented cologne.

    Yep, but the Geneva Convention forbid us to spray it by aircraft to the allied. They said this would be Chemical Warfare........ :p

    I see you guys are as subtle as usual, you'd better watch out for my garlic bread carpet bombing.

    Brad, don't worry about the Southeners trying to wash the red from their necks .

    Can you send your bombers in 2 hours? the coordinates are 47° 52′ N , 10° 36′ O. It would perfectly fit to my lamb roast!

    Cybbe, your friend is very lucky she doesn't live next to me.....because she would have died of a heart attack! In summer I clean my gun collection in the garden (it keeps the nasty smell of ballistol etc out of the house). If the lady is worried by a bullet shaped lighter, she would have had nearly ninety very good reasons to freak out by now!:D

    That's fine I'll also parachute the Gewurstraminner keg that goes with it, but Urgh is already lying under the tap, so you have to hurry.
