Koohii stories:

1) [raulir] 11-1-2007(44): This is pretty much only used in the word 鑿 (のみ), chisel. Missile + metal is obviously a hammer being swung. The needle is the chisel and the mortar represents the impressions left (bored) by the chisel. For some reason the chisel is used to make a row of such impressions here, and the work is done in such a difficult place that it has to be done upside down. Perhaps this is some sort of sabotage, done in a place that is not readily visible to the outside.

2) [At0m5k] 4-8-2009(36): Hanging upside down in a row are ten mortars. You must shoot chisel tipped missiles into all of them and successfully bore holes through them in order to get the prize of gold. Talk about a messed up county fair game!

3) [mantixen] 24-10-2008(11): At Staples someone used a needle to bore a hole through the bathroom wall, turning it into an adult movie theater where a Goldeneye can get his missile launched.

4) [aircawn] 17-9-2007(6): Going the chisel route… (the missile that comes down on the metal) the bore work is done on pieces that are hung upside down in a dry place. That's to prevent rust or mould from affecting the tool or the work. If, unfortunately, rust or mould does form, then the piece is only as good as mortar ammo.

5) [tuuli] 29-10-2008(4): To bore, take an upside down row of needles to try to get through the mortar (of granite). If that doesn't work, use a missile, then surely you can get to the gold!
