A bizarre accident at the Frisco Gun Club on Eldorado Parkway Wednesday.

The manager says shortly after 2:00 p.m. a patron dropped a bullet, the powder ignited and the shrapnel from the bullet went into his leg.

They called police and ambulance and the man was taken to the hospital. No word on his condition.

More to come.

Doesn't pass the smell test.

A bullet, aside from being fired from a gun will only detonate by a striking of the primer (which is impossible by dropping it) or HEAT... like tossing a cartridge in a fire pit.

I bet he accidentally shot himself and didn't want to sound stupid.

I'm thinking 22lr.

The primer is in the rim and the rim also serves as the anvil.

If that is what happened, I'd call it a freak accident.

I doubt the weight of a 22 shell, via falling, could impact the rim enough to detonate the cartridge. I've dropped many 22's on the ground. I've even pulled the bullets from them with pliers, dumped out the powder... and detonated them with strikes with a hammer. It takes a pretty good whack to detonate one.

Not a centerfire .22, to be sure.

Rimfire cartridges, not so sure.

I wouldn't be so quick to rule out centerfire or a larger calibre with more weight... It may be "impossible" if dropped onto a smoothe/flat surface, but not impossible on a hard/irregular surface... perhaps some gravel or crushed rock on top of concrete? It would still be a freak accident, but I can imagine the corner of a small rock hitting the primer without touching the case...
