Who knew that bullet making was quickly becoming an old fashioned activity? I you want a low tech how-to, this one’s for you:

“Like darning socks, making bullets is a dying art. Used to be just about everyone with a need for ammo poured their own, using iron or even wooden molds. These days only a few diehard hobbyists still do it, and they use aluminum molds. But even fewer people still make silver bullets.

“Actually, not many people ever made silver bullets. It’s a difficult process, and their efficacy against werewolves has never been scientifically proven. I suppose their renown came from the perception that silver was a distinguished metal, often spoken of in connection with its higher-class cousin, gold. But today silver is far more common, and it tarnishes over time, primarily because of sulfur pollution from power plants. (By and large, it didn’t tarnish before the Industrial Age.)” Source: Popular Science

Why do we mention something as low-tech as DIY bullets? Perhaps as a counterpoint to the bizarre Bluetooth Pistol mouse we saw on Gizmodo. I think I’d rather work next to the kindly old timer making his minnie balls in the garage, than the scary guy in the cube with the pistol mouse. But maybe that’s just me…
