I never thought about it although it is such an obvious source of lead. I guess it would be a great way to make lead shot for a SHTF scenerio if you needed to. I'm guessing car batteries would be another source.

Nice Image btw KVR. But yes you would have to do it outside in a well ventilated area sim. thought about doing some smelting in general. Soda cans and such.
