A friend at university made a ball bearing shoot out of a metal pen lid, it went through his dorm door and he used ground up match heads for that. I don't think I'll try reloading primers with it though, as the first time he tried it, it flared up and gave him a horrendously burn. Still, seemed hilarious at the time... clapclap
