| These little goodies are affectionately known as "nut busters." They are | |
| simply shotgun shells enclosed in cardboard rolls with cardboard fins put on. | |
| On the primer end of the shell is glued a small cork with a hole drilled | |
| through it. A roofing nail fits in the hole snugly enough to stay in, but | |
| loose enough to plunge into the primer upon impact. | |
| Since the shell is not confined in the chamber of the gun, it will | |
| naturally not cause the same amount of damage. But if it goes off between a | |
| fellow's legs he can look forward to becoming a soprano. | |
| These bombs are thrown singly or by the handful into the air over milling | |
| crowds. The weight of the shell and stabilization by the fins causes the nut | |
| buster to head straight downward. | |
| It has tremendous effect as its presence is usually a suprise. The threat | |
| of more coming is guaranteed to route any mob. | |
| Not only does it go off on the pavement but it will also explode on | |
| contact with a person's head or shoulder. At night it is impossible to trace | |
| its point of origin. | |

| SHOTGUN SHELL BOMB | |
| A clever use for a plain shotgun shell is as a muffler bomb. The shell is | |
| simply shoved up a car's exhaust pipe with a length of stiff wire until it | |
| drops into the muffler. After a few minutes on the road the shell explodes, | |
| totalling out the muffler and treating the driver to a sick kind of panic. | |
