How many shots to bring this down?

[Cameramonkey]

With or without Tannerite? And are we shooting guns or involving this guy?

Yes.

Is it a silo? Is it made of mortared bricks or silo staves?

Depends on what you're shooting, but it could surely be done. With some tannerite, I bet you could knock that down pretty quick. Otherwise, you're going to need something pretty big and/or LOTS of ammo.

Only one way to find out....

I like the the way you think sir.......let me start loading some mags.

Organize the INGO shoot and we will find out!

Is it not any longer sturdy? Seems a shame to tear something down so old and neat looking?

Yes I agree, if looks in really good shape. I believe I would scaffold the inside and tear it down until maybe 20 feet or so was left and reroof it and use it as a two story outbuilding.
And if if it tore down easy I would reuse most of the blocks and build other outbuildings.

I would keep it and maybe shore it up. If Indiana ever approves surface-to-surface missiles for deer hunting, you're all set with a launch silo.

My brother once dated a girl whose dad took down a full sized silo (bigger than yours), a genuine Ribstone, I believe, so tougher than most.
He did it by using a sledgehammer to knock out several of the bottom supports on the side where he wanted it to fall.
When he had the silo barely held up by the few supporting cement supports, he stood back about 50 yards away with his .30-06 and shot out the critical remaining supports.
After just a few supports disintegrated from his shots, the whole thing came down safely.

Why do you want to destroy someone's wizard tower?

Took one down on the inlaws property a simiar way. Cable to the top hooked to a tractor, sledgehammered until we were afraid to be near it, dropped the tractor in gear. A rifle might have been more fun.

Actually, yes...very.
Easily the hottest he ever dated.

This. Do you have kids or grandkids? You could build the coolest freakin' treehouse out of that!

Add a rounded cap and say it's a Celtic Phallic Monument..... Maybe get a Tax Exempt Status....
