Although many people have different ideas of what fun is, I think that the bullet chess set turns an otherwise destructive creation into a playful one.
Brought to you by OldeWorldCC, the bullet chess set boasts a solid steel board that could survive a nuclear blast. But the true pièce de résistance (or pieces) happen to be the chess pieces themselves. Made from .223 caliber bullet shell casings, they were manipulated to take on characteristics of each traditional piece.
