Giving cavities the bullet
There are different techniques to clean your teeth. There’s the standard up and down and circular motions and then there is the Japanese nutbag method, where you strap your toothbrush to an automatic pistol and use the recoil slide to provide an effective plaque removal tool.

Fiddly faffing for fresh primers

Here’s a video that shows you how to reprime your primers using caps from cap guns and then reload with slugs recovered from a range. It’s fiddly as all get out and if you don’t have a steady hand, then it looks like it’ll drive you nuts. Watch to the end for the results.
Reckon your 50 cal BMG is solid?

The Coriolis Effect experiment
The earth rotates west to east and that means it effects the aiming of long-range shots. While you wouldn’t want to shoot game at these distances, it’s an interesting look at how the earth’s rotation will cause your bullets to drop higher or lower. Handy for competition shooters.
