Found bullet

[BrettonJudy7]

I was walking to my gym last night when I noticed this on the sidewalk. I immediately recognized it as a bullet. I live in Lawrence (Fort Ben area) and although I have found bullets on the sidewalk before, I can't help thinking that this one may have been from a new years celebration.

This was laying right on the sidewalk outside of the gym, that is attached to my apartment complex. Heavily populated area. This could have been very dangerous.

Looks like a 5.56/223. From the damage it has, it still has some velocity when it hit the sidewalk. Would not have felt good! We had lots of fireworks going off on the west side of Indy and the random “that didn’t sound like fireworks” thing early New Years morning…

Yeah that's what I'm thinking happened. There were lots of "pops" on new years eve and it seems that one of them was not s firework...

Back in the day at the old Wishard west parking lot, you could find a few of those trinkets every January 1st and July 5th.

Looks a little like the magic bullet found on Kennedy's gurney.

you should see my picked-up bullet collection I have at work.

Lots found on the East Siiiiiiiiiiiiiide. And a few from Gary. The city, not the dude.

Gary from the East Side must have a lot of spare ammo....

None of that was fireworks...

When I was going to school in Dallas, there was public housing 1/2 a block south of the Married Student Dorms. The brick walls facing the projects had multiple poc marks from stray bullets.. It was very common to find projectiles in the parking lots, sidewalks and the picnic areas. Mostly 7.62 X 39 and 9mm. There were a few other men that had been in the service and could recognize the sound of small arms fire. When we heard it we got the children off the playground and into the buildings. Sad that any major city in America has to deal with that stupidity.

That was a very good part of town just 30 years earlier, until public housing went in.

Welcome to Marion County.

I've been living in this area for the past three years, and this is probably the 3rd or 4th time that I've found bullets. I found some 9mm bullets in the parking lot of the Ivy Tech building in Fort Ben.
I posted this one because it seemed to be a stray from New Years Eve celebrations.

I'm surprised you only found one. I worked NYE and there were multiple calls of bullets into houses. Last NYE I worked, they were hitting the metal overhang I was sitting under.

 

[BrettonJudy7]

I'm sure there are more around the area. I just happened to notice this one on the sidewalk.
Maybe I should go back out with a metal detecter?

Maybe it come from people shooting on New Years , what goes up must come down!

I used to work at Pendleton Pike and Post Rd and people would occasionally find bullets in our parking lot.

 

[Leadeye]

Don't see this as much out here in the woods, must be a city thing.

They were no ammo shortage on the South side of Muncie on the New Year! Checked my truck and roof the next morning, no holes that I could see, couple years ago had a bullet hole in the gutter.
