    Boy if the 'ol bullet in the badge trick gets this kind of response, just wait until I die, my wife already said she's going put all my badges/medals in the garbage disposal. Now that will be quite an experiment.

        Chet sure is crazy at times

        As Robert mentioned, this thread has created quite some interest. A contentious subject, that is bound to have differing views. Lets hope everyone can accept the differing views.

        My personal opinion is that Chet can do what he likes with his badges. My view is similar to what John T said, that this is more someones idea of fun than a controlled experiment in the "name of science".

        If anyone believed in dealer stories before this thread they need their heads tested.

        Please do not post personal attacks in this thread as they will be deleted.

        cheers

          I also don't remember a day when people so viciously were calling me an "idiot" or when was the last time when someone was calling for placing me at the front of the firing squad!

          Anyhow, i really enjoyed today's discussions (with most of you). It just shows me that collecting spirit is still strong and collectors are as passionate about these subjects as ever. Just please remember one, but very important thing - it is hobby. If you are not in this for fun, you better get out of collecting ASAP! Also, please remember to respect others even if you totally disagree with their views or opinions. Keep it civilized people!

          Now it is time for me to get back to my quiet "retirement". I'm leaving you in good hands (i see that moderators crew is stronger than ever today), have fun and happy collecting!

          ps. big thanks to Chet for having courage to make it all possible!

          well mate dont talk "civilized" coz just look at your signature....

            Apathy,
            Is this your real name? I can assure Robert is Robert. Dude, what the is up with you? I mean, you are so contencious about just everything. What's with that? If I was like the member over on GCA I would hope that your beautiful Bf109 would result in bodily harm when you get the chance to fly it. Come on, lighten up.....

              What the F$&k is the big deal. It's their badge, their gun, their bullet, their time and their dime. Looks like it was fun playing myth busters and they taped it for our entertainment. Anyone who is that fired up over it probably needs to have a pint and get laid.......JEEZUS H!!!!

              Chet if you want a really good fake GAB for target practice by all means let me know. You can compare the effects as compared to your original PAB.......although I am not too sure anyone will be that interested in adopting this technique as a test for originality

                Greg ... deep down ... it really has NOTHING to do with the PAB or what was done to it.

                  I still have a feeling that if you dropped a zink badge from head height onto a ceramic or concrete floor it would break apart.....

                  Chet, got another spare PAB laying around

                    Thomas,
                    It was just an experiment and nothing else. What the heck is the issue here??

                    Mother Mary, I am going to be vilified for this remark but it not so much about destroying a very small piece of history but the Euros (who don't like us who to begin with) have issues with a past member here who voiced his opionion . Give me break.....

                    As I've said before, it's just a friggin hobby. Why all the hostility??

                        Love you buddy. With this this thread I realize there are far more idiots than I can ever imagin. Oh wait, go over to the GCA......

                          Hello there,

                          Ha, you guys are nuts! What an interesting video, Robert.

                          I appreciate the fact that this experiment at least showed some useful results. Some people might not like the outcome of the badge, but in all reality it is the same as the dotted DKiG tests; it is part of the hobby and that's what we're all here for.

                            Hey guys now that your badge is famous. You should sell it on the eStand.
                            Then all these guys worrying about you destroying your own property can rescue it.
                            After all it's not destroyed it just got "holy".

                              Well, I have a few Heer Flak badges we can use for next time. Yes, it is just a hobby and it should be fun. Robert, I have some WWII German ammo you can use for testing if you want it. Lets use the same badge so no one else is offended. A real badge with reall WWII German ammo. I'm sure someone has a k98 shooter. Oh wait, should we put rounds down a perfectly good rifle? Ok, thats my last dig.

                              Remember, it's just a hobby and I think a few of you need more than a pint. My other opinion is that no one should suggest harming another. They should be Black Balled!
