A sprinkle of smokeless powder in the ashtray is funny and nobody gets hurt.

My uncle, dad, and myself were out shooting when I was younger. My uncle brought out his brand new M6 Scout to show off. We decided to make a competition by taking turns shooting cans and other smaller targets with the M6 loaded with .22 lr. On the second or third round of doing shooting like this I snuck a .410 shot shell out of the stock's storage compartment, loaded it in the bottom barrel, and covered the shell's visible brass with my thumb. I walked up to the line and loaded a .22 lr in then took aim and fired the .410 knocking every can down that was set up. My uncle and dad both suprised by the louder report started laughing as I turned grinning declaring that I won the competition.

I've never done this, but you could put some paint on the ring of someone's spotting scope (or binoculars). When they check their shots, they will end up with a ring around their eye.

A good sprinkling of crushed heat activated CS powder is so much funnier though!

when I was 14 I was with my dad,his friends and a "buddy" of mine,I was shooting a pistol for the first time and my "buddy" thought it would be funny to punch my arm as I was shooting. I was sitting at the table with my dad behind me coaching me and just before I pulled the trigger my buddy reached around my dad and punched my arm...yeah was real friggin funny when I had to go to the ER because I had shot my left hand,went in my wrist and came out the top of my hand. I have never seen my dad blow up on someone so bad in my life and when he got home not only did his dad blow up on him but Im surprised he can walk today..as for me several surgeries later and more physical therapy than I can to recall Im fine..have full use of my hand although I still have pain in it quit often.
pranks and guns dont mix...now pranks not involving guns are awesome! Im a big fan of the classics

Blackpowder 9mm. Fired it out of my Beretta at Eagle Creek. Click, bang, poof of smoke and crap. I extrapolated the charge from .38, reducing the charge per the difference in shell capacity, then adjusting for pressure.

I am trying to figure out black powder .40.

No if you want to have a little fun with that friend of yours who thinks he is a know it all mechanic (at least in his mind) kinda guy. Get yourself a long thick zip-tie. You know like the ones that are about 2 feet long. Place that around his driveshaft where it will smack on the frame and watch the fun begin.

Or another good one for the guy who drives a dually truck that has no reason to need it other than it looks cool. Let the air out of his inside tires on the duals.

I loaded bird shot in my .22 pistol and was shooting cans out of the air to impress my nephews.

10 years ago, Sam and I taught VUPDblue how to shoot trap at MCFG. If you've ever been there, it's shot at night under lights. I dropped a "special" shell in his shell bag (without him noticing) that had 1 grain of powder(just enough to make the wad clear the barrel), a cork black powder wad (to add room for the load) and filled it with glitter and about 1/10th oz. of shot. That way it feels as heavy as a normal shell. Nick was doing real well till he got to the glitter shot. It was really pretty sparkelly under the lights too! He didn't do well the rest of the round. That was our way to initiate him to our group.

Another way to shake someone up is to slip a really heavy load into someones shell bag when shooting trap or skeet. The report and recoil make them think the gun blew up.

Another good one was to load a bird bomb into your own shotgun and offer it someone else to try a shot while shooting trap. The look on their face is priceless when the "plooop" instead of boom as the gun goes off. They think the round was a squib. Then the report of the bird bomb startles them and they know that they have been had
