melting aluminum cans into bullets

Recommended Posts

shitty low caliber pistol bullets. say you have to be near a fire and have 3 or so tin cans to make one makarov mag, and it takes a bit.

would add another use for fires among other stuff

So... melting tins magically creates gun-powder and crafts a bullet, as well as the mag?

Either way, it is impossible chemistry. Aluminium is easily oxidised, and extracted from its ore not by smelting but by electrolysis. If you want the crash-course in why this idea is simply unrealistic, chuck an empty beer can into a camp fire and watch what happens, doesn't exactly melt, does it.

And before you suggest to melt scrap metal instead of alluminium, how would you mold the bullets ( let's not forget the casing and propellant charge ), mind power?

EDIT: beaten to it.
