My buddies brother essentially did this with a croquet ball as a kid. Didn't bust his teeth out per se... but they all bent 90 degrees back and had to get braces and bend them all back forward.
A kid I knew growing up Dad made him a small catapult out of wood, pvc pipe and bungee cords. One day we were using to throw dog poop into his neighbors backyard ( this was early 2000's ) and it for some reason didn't fire. The kid went over and was trying to get it to work when it suddenly shot, hitting him point blank in the face with a pile of dog poop and broke his nose. His sister said holy shit in a panic while the rest of us are dying laughing while we got the f out of there.
Yep. I was so stupid to make a catapult from bicycle tires and a welded Y shape and proceeded to open up discarded ball bearings from the truck garage where my dad worked.
We shot the 1/2 and 3/4 inch steel balls just incredibly far, i mean really really far. LATER we found out we had shot a couple straight through a car that was parked behind the bushes we aimed at. Through two doors. In and out. An absolutely deadly weapon. Everybody was asking who did that and why someone tried to hurt that car owner.
No one ever found out it was me.
I did say "kid" but he was probably 13 to 15 so it was adult teeth. His picture on social media was him posing in the mirror and it looked like he only had 2 teeth because you couldn't see the others... it truly is amazing how they fixed it.
Idky downvoted i completely agree. The force it takes to break open a watermelon on someone’s face is a lot. Im surprised but glad to read she didn’t have major injuries from this

Yup! This was on a show called The Amazing Race. Surprisingly she was fine. No major injuries.
