Re: Penny shot

Obama has done way more damage to the penny than you could ever hope to. I liked putting them on rail road tracks. It was cool till i derailed the trai..........disregard my last statement.

Re: Penny shot

When you try this, make sure you use pennies made in 1981 or before. Up until 1981, pennies are solid copper. From mid 1982 production on, they are a zinc alloy with a coppy coating. I bet you a penny that those of you who are finding the penny shatters are using the zinc pennies.
 
Re: Penny shot

Solid shot man. 1 cent penny + 22 cent bullet = 23 cent piece of awesomeness.

Winning!
 
Re: Penny shot

I usually shoot Chuck E. Cheese tokens at 100 yards when I get bored shooting paper at the range. My kids always have a few left over after they go to bday parties. I have one on my key chain that is an almost centered shot hole, not as nice as the penny though.
 
I found a Dutch coin, about the size of a half-dollar at a yard sale, with a bullet hole thru it. Seems to be the right size for 9mm Luger, complete with rifling marks. I pictured some WW2 Wehrmacht troopers swigging cognac, saying lets shoot the queen, bet you I can do it from 25 meters. Lady at the yard sale knew nada about it.
 
What no dimes lol

You want dimes? We got dimes. Shot at 200 yards.
