Over the years I collected two old BRS chutes, repurposed the parachutes into hand
deployed, which left me two left over launchers. One is a rocket, one is an
antique that has a 2 pound slug over the top of a couple ten gauge shotgun shells.
Decided that the 4th of July would be a good time to get rid of them, screwed them
to a chunk of 4x4, clamped the whole rig into a portable workbench, set it
beside the runway, ran a new paracord from the attach cables to an old T-shirt
so that they wouldn't go too far when fired, set up the video camera and pulled
the red handles. (s)
They didn't fire.
Now I have two malfunctioned explosive ordinance devices sitting at the edge of
the airstrip, and a wife who is MOST unhappy.
I am thinking tomorrow I stick them down into a 5 gallon steel bucket filled with
wood and charcoal, out in the middle of a 300 acre field, set it on fire, and
stay a long way away from it.
But I am open to suggestions.
You can laugh if you want to.

It sounds as though your life experiences and mine are a lot alike. Until I
was about 30 I would do something that didn't work out, and when asked,
responded with "It seemed like a good idea at the time". Then for the next
thirty I was at the top of my game. Now I have reverted to - "It seemed
like a good idea at the time", once again.
I believe I would ask the Sheriff's dept for guidance. They should have a
safe place to dispose of them.
Hang in there,
Larry

Larry - this makes it even better -
The summer before Covid I called the Sherriff's department, and they sent two officers
out, they looked at my mess, and said "Why don't you wait until the 4th
of July and just shoot them out into the field?"
So here we are...
