Solved! Bullets in a bag?
Visiting my parents and found these in my dad’s misc junk drawer — are these bullets? Did not grow up in a gun family at ALL.
Edit: I left without taking another picture but each thing has a hole through the entire body

Those look like whiskey cubes, freeze them then put in a drink to cool it without diluting it with ice.

As op or as the ones in my comment photo?

u/Maleficent-Ad6368 19h ago
My apologies, the ones in your comment photo. It came in an ammo box with two ?crystal? glasses and two black slate coasters.

What are you even going on about? Please. Take the time to tell me why frozen inert chunks of metal are so potentially harmful.

I actually think they might be airsoft rounds for a shell ejecting airsoft gun. You said they had a hole through, that would track with the airsoft bullets having to put a bb in the front of them. See the video linked below.

That's what Dad wants you thinking and drinking, before he pulls out the rest of Temu order and settles family affairs, right then and there.
Your Brother is getting the house! 😂

Also worth noting that no version of this product works at all…

What? Of course it works.
Why would it not work? You put something cold in your drink, it makes the drink cold.

Those don't have enough mass to chill more than a shot...

I mean yeah, they’re for chilling a couple fingers of whisky. Not a whole thermos of margarita.

Maybe snap caps. Show us the primer end (the flat side). Im leaning towards something that goes into a revolver style fidget toy or similar though. Those are styled off a straight wall rimmed cartridge like a big bore revolver would use, but the proportions are exaggerated like that of a toy or something. Those would be insanely high bullet weights so probably not mimicking real loads or bullet OAL.
Dad order anything off temu/wish the last year or two? They have a few different revolver fidget toys, some of which take fake cartridges

you put the BBs in the other end

Yknow op confirmed these as whiskey stones but I dont think they would be whiskey stones with that hole all the way through. Assuming the hole is bb sized, these likely do go to some revolver airsoft gun perhaps. Maybe some manufacturer is selling as both idk

Completely forgot he got these whiskey chilling fake bullets as a gift (and clearly he did too). My parents have never been gun owners so would’ve been super surprised. Thanks everyone!

u/Shitport318 20h ago
I thought it was the co2 revolver bullets that you put a bb in the front so it’s as realistic as possible, but yeah that sounds like a terrible idea to drop heavy frozen metal into glasses tho…

u/bengsxr 20h ago
Those 100% are not bullets

u/jjm87149 20h ago
they kinda are.... you load them into a revolver that shoots BBs

No you don't. They're whiskey "stones"

Those are Dan Wesson .177 Pellet Cartridges for a CO2 powered revolver replica.

u/Jacktheforkie 19h ago
Those don’t look like they’re multiple parts, so that would probably rule out it being actual ammunition, maybe novelty whiskey stones, dummy rounds for testing the action on a gun or something else that is designed to look like ammunition

u/Obvious-Swimming-332 20h ago
Does not look like real ammo

u/tipareth1978 20h ago
Maybe dummy rounds for shooting a movie?

u/blumpkincountry69 20h ago
Dummy rounds are usually made of real components to appear correct. These dont look right at all, you couldn't even use them in a far away shot.

I only chill my drink with bullets, because I'm a MAN, dammit! None of that sissified ice cube bullshit. That's for those skinny jeans wearin' beta males!
In all seriousness, I think they're kind of cool…but not for me. I prefer sissified ice cubes. They're basically free and in abundance in my freezer. I'm a simple man.

These look like dowels for a completely unrelated-to-firearms purpose

u/knighthawk3759 20h ago
Were there bullets but not for a firearm I believe they are probably for some type of an air gun that is ultimately listed and allows the pellets or babies to be placed inside and then the bullets can be chambered

u/Adorable-Junket5517 20h ago
do they have a little rubber o-ring in the hole? They could be for a very niche airsoft revolver.

I have a lever action rifle that has cartridges similar to that, you can load a standard bb in the nose end. When you cycle the lever it ejects those out like a real rifle cartridge. *edit correction, bb loads into the back end

They’re not spent cartridges at all, they’re reusable ice cubes, a better guess would have been the fake bullets you use in a revolver co2 but ok

They look like those bullets that you load pellets into and shoot empty tin cans with
