My 27" RCA crapped out on me, and I usually dry fire during commercials with a rifle or handgun. Now nothing is more satisfying than snapping a nice quick shot at carrot top!
Of course, anytime you dry fire you're running the risk of blowing something up...so I took the broken RCA to a choice spot in the woods. I loaded up a Cor-Bon +p 9mm round in a G17 and shot one round into the center of the screen, actually low left side.
The picture tube stopped the round. The round did not exit the tv case anywhere, baseball sized hole in the screen.
Just interesting to see what would happen if I ever had a ND, I think a vest behind the tv would almost ensure nobody else getting hurt from a handgun round fired into the tv accidentally.
I think i'll post a pic of the dead tv just for fun in the next few days.
