    How… do you launch those?

    I can only think of smashing it with hammer but PugJesus wouldn’t suggest something like that to a pug?

        That kinda makes sense, but the initial explosion of the gun powder will still accelerate the bullet to potentially dangerous speeds

          dangerous speeds

          Way more dangerous to whoever is hammering them than to whoever is several meters away in front of it.

      Maybe its supposed to be the beetle that shoots acidic/high temperature liquid out if its rear?

      Maybe this could possibly set off the rounds?

      Not sure what temp this stuff burns at, but it seems highly unlikely it would be hot enough to set off the primer, or that the beetle could produce enough of it to sufficiently coat the rounds to have this effect.

      Also, if this somehow did cause the cartridges to fire/cook off… pretty sure that would kill the beetle anyway.
