Making Tactical Flowers

After firing his assortment of guns under water Andrew Tuohy collects the bullet 'blossoms' and makes what he calls tactical flowers for his mother. Both the pictures of the guns being fired and the flowers made from the bullets, pictured at the link, are artistic and beautiful.

I really found this interesting. The fact that he makes something beautiful on 2 levels is wonderful.

I'll agree, Patty. Definitely better than a jar full of urine.

The guy must have more money than sense. Considering the incompressability of water, sooner or later he's going to lose a finger or two.

KDP is correct. Firing any gun underwater is just asking for trouble. A wet gun out of water is a whole other thing.

I just added a cheap Romanian WASR 10/63 AKM/AK-47 to my collection.
Patty's hubby told me I need no more "Toy toys" ... pffffttttttt to that 😠

He was teasing, he likes toys just as much as the next guy.

So when do we get to see the Uzi fired underwater? 😏

I think the guy would have to get in the water with a snorkle to fire an Uzi.
