Sure! Given enough time and resources, anything is possible. Imagination is not even a limit, it's a starting place. :)

 

 

What kind of gun? A blow gun, a paint gun....

 

Here's a cool site:

A pistol with gunpowder

Do you have limits on where in the body from which the bone must be taken, or what animal?

human arm

I say ...yes! If you can make a fireworks mortar out of cardboard, I think a bone would work fine. I bet a .410 shotgun shell would fit pretty nicely. :)

a human arm bone gunpowder pistol, would it work

Ahhh... Well, you'll likley want to use the humerus, as it's the most sizeable of the arm bones. However, this bone is subject to fracture (of course, it will vary across subjects in terms of bone density and strength). So, you'd likely get one good shot, then it would be too fractured to allow for precise targeting. If you think about it, even tennis can fracture this bone, so it's not likely the best place for multiple controlled explosions. Probably best to use something more likely to allow for another shot.

I can see the headlines now,..."Man shots President by pointing his finger and firing a bullet through his arm bone". What will they think of next?

One shot, one kill. :beer: :) :)

 

PS Go for the stone bullet too.

if u did a lot of studing, then what kind of bullet is the best kind to shoot out of a humerus bone , shaped like a pistol, and gunpodwer.
