My Microwave died last night so...

So I get to shoot at it with my shotguns! Yee-haw!

My 4 slice toaster died this morning so it will soon face the firing squad. I have 2 computer monitors stashed at the dump for later practice.
I'm glad to see that somebody else on here knows how to have a good time.

Ooooohhh...the days of the tube TV'S.

IZinterrogator · October 24, 2012, 01:22 AM

Just make sure you clean up after yourselves, folks. I hated it when my spot in the desert was littered with bullet-riddled small appliances. And then someone else comes along, sees me shooting, and assumes I'm the jerk.

ripnbst · October 24, 2012, 02:28 AM

Should turn it into a Faraday cage instead.

droptrd · October 24, 2012, 06:39 PM

Yeah my wife called the city. They said they dont take appliances. Oh bummer.

I remember when my last tube tv died lol. Met my AR

scottd913 · October 25, 2012, 12:11 AM

you can sure kill the hell out of them old TV's, microwaves and such with a shotgun what fun

MrGoodwrench · October 25, 2012, 12:15 AM

As a child, I dont think a single appliance letf the property without holes from something in it. I just assumed that was normal

+1 for old TVs'
But, we had to hit one 3 times with a 22 to finally get the front to pop, but it's a cool sounding pop.

Don't try this at close range, there are a fair amount of fragments involved.

I Knew a guy a few years back that would encounter old Pianos in his work. Apparently some are so far gone they can no longer be tuned, cracked frame for instance.
Esp. fun to shoot tho! We had a once a year piano shoot. We usually brought a bunch of other items too.

Worse part was cleaning up the big mess, which we did religiously. Like a campsite, we left the spot cleaner than before.

vba · October 25, 2012, 08:51 AM

Gosh, reminds me of the time I shredded a mailbox with my 12 guage

That was fun...

BLUETIP · October 25, 2012, 11:23 AM

Clean up? That means your not done if there is something to clean up! Keep shooting

mr kablammo · October 26, 2012, 01:08 AM

About 10 years ago I moved into this apt. About nine years ago someone left a Panasonic microwave by the dumpster. It looked clean so brought it in and put a cup of water in it foe a minute and viola! Hot! Last month it pooped out. Probably because I would forget about the tea that I heated and the evap got into the electronics. So I went to toss it in the dumpster and look at the back and it was made in March, 1979! Damn I felt proud and sad at the same time. I would not have shot that workhorse. But put a Sun Workstation on the berm and give me a BPS and I will happily go Office Space on it.

scottd913 · October 26, 2012, 01:40 AM

just thinking...a divorce decree all nicely framed up would make a nice target

publius · October 30, 2012, 10:20 AM

I don't ever have any appliances to shoot. I'm so cheap that I take them apart and keep all the screws and wiring

Ben Towe · November 2, 2012, 07:08 AM

I tried out an old toilet once. A load of 00 buck will turn the porcelain to talcum powder. It just disappeared!

Bilzpost · November 2, 2012, 01:43 PM

Spray cans are da bomb. A long time ago me and a buddie came up with about 50 cans of spray paint that needed, ummm, 'disposing of'. Every color imaginable. We went way out in the Arizona outback and created the all new Painted Desert II. What a blast that was! I know, I know..it was a terrible thing to do but hey, this was 35 years ago. They hadn't even coined the term enviromentalist yet. I won't even break glass in the desert now.

And now a thread about shooting broken appliances has died.
