Graphite Writing Bullet Shells

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Replica .50 Caliber Sculptures Last for Seven to Nine Years

— June 10, 2013 — Unique
These graphite writing sculptures are replicas of .50 caliber rounds. These graphite writing sculptures are inspired by a bullet that comes from a .50 caliber machine gun. Although this may not be the writing tool that you should take to the workplace or school, it is a great accessory for writing at home. This writing tool can also be used as a desk ornament if you aren't into writing by hand.

These .50 caliber sculptures are made from graphite and they have been coated in a special polymer so they won’t stain your hands when you write your notes, sign papers or draw. The best part about these graphite writing accessories is that they last much longer than other pens and pencils; the expected life for one of these accessories is seven to nine years.
