Is their smoke dangerous?

[guttenflax]

I wonder if the mercury contained on a cartdrige (I know it's on the trigger) could be dangerous to one's health if it's breathed smelling the cases or simply the gunshot' smoke .

I'm ok guys....just a little curious about that.

Prolly not in a big enough amount to do anything at once, but huffing fumes of any kind isnt good for you so Im sure it could do something over time.

Inhale a healthy dose of wolf fumes and you can feel your lungs turning to goo.

Just ammonia and lead...

nothing that'll mess you up too bad ;)

Only stuff I worry about is breathing in surplus ammo from the 30's through the 60's.

Lord knows what is in those things, and with my heavy caliber bolt actions, theres a lot of smoke around the action. I try to blow it away before sticking my head near.
