Chaosratt Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 (edited) "Borrowed" a few HDDs from work that had to be certified as blank or unrecoverable and deceded that I wanted to follow the 'unrecoverable' idea......Dont worry if these load slow, their coming off my personal server.I will add comments to each pic individualy in just a moment.The first shot, hit the board first, then came through the top.http://www.computingzone.net/harddrive/Picture001.jpgSame type of drive as above, no penetration this time however.http://www.computingzone.net/harddrive/Picture002.jpgGota love those Western digital drives, havent even broken the outer casing yet.http://www.computingzone.net/harddrive/Picture003.jpgThe first shot here hit this stupid metal ring, denting it, but not breaking it. The second shot went right through the board, but didnt break the top cover.http://www.computingzone.net/harddrive/Picture004.jpgThe best part: Whats causing all the destruction, .22 cal shot rifle with a simple scope.http://www.computingzone.net/harddrive/Picture005.jpgPlease don't post such large images...

Chaosratt Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 (edited) The firing linehttp://www.computingzone.net/harddrive/Picture006.jpgThe firing line again, after everything was over. All those little white things are actually bits and peices that have come off.http://www.computingzone.net/harddrive/Picture007.jpgThe same WD drive that was in the 3rd pic above. Still no actual penetration. The side was ripped off both by the drive being bent like that AND a glancing shot on the edge.http://www.computingzone.net/harddrive/Picture008.jpgForgot what drive this one was, again, I dont think there was any actuall penetration here, just the botom casing comeing apart and breaking the bottom board.Oh yes, the drive motor, assembly, and platter mounts are missing too. Dont ask me where there are becasue I dont know, they went flying off after about the 3rd consecutive shot, and I have not found them yet.http://www.computingzone.net/harddrive/Picture009.jpg Edited May 9, 2004 by Chaosratt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaosratt Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 An old 486 drive, about 150mb I think, around 12 hits that I can count, and none got past the top layer or the platter. They sure dont make them like they used to....http://www.computingzone.net/harddrive/Picture010.jpgThree hits in the same spot is enough to finally break the casing and get through it...http://www.computingzone.net/harddrive/Picture012.jpgAnother WD Caviar, you can see a part of the bottom casing sticking out there, not other real damage (other than the obvious).http://www.computingzone.net/harddrive/Picture013.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaosratt Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 How can these be "screenshots"? Their shot alright, but they have nothing to do with a screen. If you want, I can 'shoot' and old 15" 'screen' I have, then it would be a 'screenshot'...Forgive the bluriness of some of the pics, I forgot to set my digi-cam to close-up mode for most of them.And if you think those are large, then I dont think you want to see the original 1600x1200s....Also, 9 out of 10 of the shots were from over 40 yards. No I was not aiming at anything in perticular on most. Yes, my sights were slightly left and high, I had not sighted the rifle in a while, and it got jostled a bit, so everything was off.

I was in the middle of taking a screenshot, so I guess it just slipped my mind... You know what I meant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FthrJACK Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Heh, nice piccies chaosrat, i want a go too!There is a webpage somewhere of a guy firing computer parts out of a trebuchet in the desert, and another site where a guy "fixes" PC's using a 12 gage.Living in the UK theres not much chance of me doing that (well could do the trebuchet i s'pose)Maybe i could just strap some Amonium Peroxide to some monitors or something and see what happens...

Shotgun Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Or... drill a hole in a monitor tube (e.g. the screen) and fill it with black powder. That would be a REALLY nice blockbuster for July 4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaosratt Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 I could use my dads 44 long rifle. Or his .38 revolver? Or perhaps his .22 Magnum revolver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
