Way OT Bullets and house cleaning (was Re: Ever take a MicroVax through the car wash??

...
   Reminds me of
my
 mom's friend's mother, who quit vacuuming forever after she mistakenly
 vacuumed up a bullet.. scratch one vacuum cleaner! 
Ow!  I'm surprised the round went off, though. 
I didn't write this but have had the experience, .22 cal rim fire 
cartridge. Pretty much any good whack to the rim can make it go. However, 
rounds fired outside of a gun shoot the casing off as the mass has much 
more inertia and doesn't go very far. In my case the shop vac sorta 
'chuffed' and I had to replace the filter which had ballooned to about 
twice its normal size.
