Default Re: Man uses shotbun to change tyre....

hehe i read this story this morning whilst quaffing my hot chocolate and pain au chocolat.

Only in America indeed !!

What was he thinking ... "Oh, I know, the bullets ejected from this gun at 2000ft per second WON'T shear the head off the bolt or completely destroy the entire wheel, it will meekly tug at the bolt sides, give it alittle elbow grease and solve one of man's greatest annoyances - the eternally tightened bolt".

Bell.

I've got to the point of wanting to do this with some bolts on bikes in the past. And I'm sure a couple of the cx500s I had when I was a courier would have benefited from a little friendly shooting...
