Splodey Fruit Salad Goodness - GUNBLOGGER STYLE!
First … start with a watermelon. About 20-25 yards away.

Load up a shotgun with your choice of ammo. I think this might have been 3″ magnum shells, but I’m certain that’s up for debate as I don’t know who took the shot.
Now … shoot it. Watch splodey goodness!

Uhhh … don’t get anywhere near it during this step, unless you want a Gallagher-style makeover.

Wait for it to settle, and then … enjoy vaporized fruitiness!

Okay, two bloggers were taking shots with shotguns. Weer’d Beard and Bruce (both of whom, by the way, are extremely cool characters that I would be more than happy to supply with a Guinness and a trip to my local, big-arse, hundreds-of-yards range any day of the week) were both shooting. So … who’s taking credit for the splodey shot?

Eat this, Gallagher!
FTR, it wasn’t me. I watched it detonate, but didn’t fire the fatal blast.

Do you have the video of that? I assume those were stills taken from the footage.

Video forthcoming … :-)

I *think* that may have been me with slugs from the Saiga-20. I distinctly remember blowing one melon to Kingdom Come with a well-placed slug…

Nope, that was my 2.75″ 12 guage slug.
Disreguard the embarrasing misses, as the 3″ Buckshot loads left me with not so much as a flinch, as a wince! : ]
