And to think, Britain used to be a world power....

free bullets?
whats the problem here

If I found 7,500ish bullets in my back yard, first I would see if they were still good, then we would be having fun shooting everything i could find to shot in the back yard. MERICA!!!

At least now we know why there's a shortage of .22 ammo!

I bet Churchill would be so proud of how far they have come.

or one of our cats could have got hold of one - it doesn’t bear thinking about.

My favorite line.

What's so bloody terrifying about finding bullets?
Corpses...maybe.

Can't you read?!?!?!?!? The cats might find them and then we're all screwed.

Not .22's, they're the dreaded 2.2 mm bullets, irresistible to cats!

 

[RobMcBee]

.... This is where we're headed.....

 

[BrianGreen]

What a freakin pansy. OMG, there are 17 .45 rounds within inches from my body right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH NO, there are 21 more less than 3 feet behind me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tacoma747]

Wonder if the popo pulled the weeds while they were there?

I just can't believe he made it all the way to his friends house with those 2.2mm rounds in his POCKET! Talk about dangerous, if one went off it could take off a leg...

2.2mm?? a bb 4.5 mm.
sounds like more than one person is confused in this article.

They've been outside and look pretty corroded, and probably aren't liquid tight anymore. I somehow doubt they're as unstable as nitroglycerin like the people are assuming. Don't stare too hard and make sure to walk really quietly though, just in case.
How do people get so detached from reality?

I dunno that much about these bullets, but they got their ponds cleaned for free by the cops trying to find more deadly, old, unusable, cat killing, child scaring, lawn mower exploding bullets.

"The couple dialled 101 and two officers arrived, quickly realised the seriousness of the situation, and called in CID officers who alerted the fire brigade to drain the ponds because the underwater search unit was not available. "

They were "unavailable" because they said hell no were not searching a Koi pond.

Sounds to me like it's been too long since Brittan was busy with a war, these guys need something to do.

I was laughing so hard I must have missed that part. Cats with bullets...Lawd help us all!

Just think, if a cat bit down on a round in the right place at the right speed, it might just kill itself.

I'm ok with that...... I got a bunch of old .22 rounds. Now I know how to get rid of those damn stray cats that keep getting on my car.
