JaySaiga-12 16 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) I'm not sure if a thread on this has been started on this or not, but what is a good idea for something to destroy with the S12? So far in all of my Youtube videos all you see me shooting is the ground or some scrap plywood and cardboard. I thoughts were an old junk car or some computer monitors. My only concern would be shrapnel or ricochets. Suggestions? Edited December 30, 2011 by JaySaiga12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Pallets are a good and usually free item. Got my son a zombie target from CTD for his birthday, after the fun with hand guns and Ak's. A S12 with drum was used, it melted what was left. RobRez has the right idea though, love the car carnage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Kenny 144 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Old computer parts, like hard drives. Those need to be shattered to prevent the recovery of the data inside them. Besides, then you can invite the IT guys from work out for a day of stress relief, and de-stressed IT guys are happy IT guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JaySaiga-12 16 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hearing some great ideas. The pallet idea sounds good the only problem would be cleaning it up. Then again I don't see the problem with laying a tarp or two down under it and just tying it up and hauling it off like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 My local bowling alleys sell old bowling pins for $2 a piece. They hold up pretty damn good to almost all calibers. I shot one with a slug from about 10yds and split it but it was still in one piece. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donkeyshins 87 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 We used to have permission to use a fallow field from a local farmer (when I lived in Walla Walla). At the bottom of his field was a ravine with a natural backstop, into which locals would tip rubbish. The most fun we ever had was loading up a Remington pump-action with deer slugs and punching holes through a washer & dryer set (buckshot and 30-06 was not quite as fun, but was still funny as hell). And before anyone asks, yes, we did pick up our brass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun bowling, slug works best, set up 10 pins just like real bowling, bunches of fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MT Predator 2,294 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 The Subaru is a cool idea until your State Department of Environmental Protection sees it leaking fluids into the soil. We use golf balls a lot. Good to hone your skills with pistol or rifle. We throw one out and see who launches it first. I'll also hang golf balls to keep them around a little longer. I get empty refrigerant cans from a friend which we hang in trees that work pretty good for cheap steel targets. I get bowling pins for free from a friend's mother who manages an alley. My favorite one I stock up on is Spray Snow. I hit up the clearance isle at Wally World after every Christmas and buy cases of it. Good non-toxic fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We did remove the engine, tranny, and gas tank, drained the brake and steering fluid as well! The biggest Screw up was not laying down tarps to catch all the broken glass! As for bowling pins....not anymore for me!!! We tried .44 bowling and long story-short, a bullet spun a pin AS it was going through it, between wood core and plastic shell, Came strait back at us and hit my buddy in the head!!! Not Cool at all! Thank God he only suffered a laceration and Blackened eye. Missed his eyeball by 1/4 inch!! Hit the tear duct and nose area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScuseMePrincess 23 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Cheap 2-litres of store-brand fruit soda are fun. You can watch them explode or bleed out, and they're colorful. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I always found used (drained) oil filters to be particularly satisfying as a pistol target. They are a good size for speed drills, and thick enough metal to react to being hit. Plus the 'lungs' blow out the back. I would second the tire. I used to have access to a neighbors canyon that made a good range. It had a gradual slope toward me with a great back drop. we would set up abandoned farm tires so they were just balanced up right. shooting the rim would knock them down so we put the target on the rubber, which would rock with pistols. The game was to try to gradually turn the tire so that it would roll down the hill towards us and shoot it as it rolled. It was tricky to do without knocking it over. That was a lot of fun, and kept you sharp once it got going. Another good one if you can leave your range set up is a pipe frame with pieces of scrap steel either hinged on a rod, or hanging from two chains each. Hit them with spray paint now and then is all the range set up and clean up you need after that. That works good for number drills or keeping alternate hangers moving rapidly.

esremt 1 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Most fruit and vegetables work well frozen bottles of water with or without food coloring use to shoot cars for machine gun shoots lots of fun fyi and check hardware store for out of date grout aerosol cans just stand back it gets messy foam heads they use to display wigs and hats and the old favorite just set up some clays and let them have it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
