The Shell Oil Company recently issued a warning after three incidents in which mobile phones (cell phones) ignited fumes during fueling operations In the first case, the phone was placed on the car's trunk lid during fueling; it rang and the ensuing fire destroyed the car and the gasoline pump. In the second, an individual suffered severe burns to their face when fumes ignited as they answered a call while refueling their car! And in the third, an individual suffered burns to the thigh and groin as fumes ignited when the phone, which was in their pocket, rang while they were fueling their car. You should know that: Mobile Phones can ignite fuel or fumes Mobile phones that light up when switched on or when they ring release enough energy to provide a spark for ignition Mobile phones should not be used in filling stations, or when fueling lawn mowers, boat, etc. Mobile phones should not be used, or should be turned off, around other materials that

I was told leaving a boring site in a rifle will make the rifle split in half all the way down. is that true? Would you all please consider this on one of your shows? Thanks Lynda LLM81212@aol.com

I have heard that putting a propane bottle {like from a propane torch} into a round bale ( The 1000lb bales) and lighting them on fire makes a hugh bomb. You guys care to try that out?

Your last show shooting the gun out of another's hand .You got it wrong recoil does not equal the force of the bullet when it hits another object. Think of it like this first motion hammer hitting primer that force forward primer going off thats is force backwards twards the hand powder lighting/expanding inside the cartridge case thats force in all directions which starts moving the bullet down the barrel now you still have equal forces because the expanding gas is still in the barrel between the bullet and the cartridge case while the bullet moves down the barrel. side note ALOT of force is lost due to friction of the copper jacket being forced throught he barrel ///try pushing a bullet down the barrel sometimes lot of force is needed . Now the bullet leaves the gun barrel that would be force backwards OR recoil. If you would like I can show or tell you how to hold the gun and still shoot it and not get hurt hurt ? really 30 yrs in the industry
