A serious but funny little story about kinetic bullet pullers. When my kids were young and I wasn't too bright (still working on it) I had used a hammer puller in front of my little boys.

A couple days later I and the wife could hear a pop every once in a while, like a cap gun pops. Soon after we could smell something. I knew what that "something" smell was and ran down stairs to the basement. Somehow the number two boy had pocketed a few thirty-eight rounds and was on the basement floor with a small hammer making like daddy. He was hammering on the 38s deforming the primer pocket and if a primer fell out he'd hit it with a hammer, POP. I honestly think the number two boy has a true gaurdian angel because it's not the only time he should have gotten hurt.

He didn't get in trouble for his misdeeds, but I did started doing a police pat down on the kids every time they "Helped" me reload. They got a kick out of hearing, "Up Against The Wall You Little Varmints"
