Explosive targets are soooo damn fun

[Irving]

Yet they won't let me shoot my BP pistol there because of "fire hazard". Hypocrites.

Apparently there is no fire hazard with tannerite.

I'd pick up some if I had a rifle.

Fun is 6, 1/2 ponders dumped into a Folgers coffee can...

I've seen tannerite demo'd but never did it myself until today. I was out at the south site today. It is getting crapped out I have a truck full of carboard boxes and plastic bottles. This was from a place fairly far in.

I wasted too much time with handguns before going to the tannerite. I put the 1/2 pound jar about 150 yards out. I was using a Mosin Nagant 91/30 sniper. It had been zeroed years ago but wasn't anymore. At first the sun was in my eyes and I couldn't see the target then it went down and it got cold. Finally, I used the iron sights and got a fun boom. That is serious stuff.

I'm definitely doing more when it warms up. Group buy? Co-ar15 tannerite shoot?

That sounds like fun. Everyone bring some, get a shit load of us out there shootin. Make at least one 10 pound can of the stuff... Wifes in the back cookin up some steak for us...

Just got home from Wyoming (was there for the holidays). Buddy of mine has loads of this stuff. He showed me a video of himself shooting a TV that was stuffed with 2 pounds. It looked fun to say the least. Unfortunately with everyone being busy with their families, I didn't get the opportunity to go blow some up on my friend's land.

It is a lot of fun!! Just please be careful of shrapnel and the such if you are packing it into other things (metal coffee cans, TVs as mentioned, etc)... And use some common sense: Don't try shooting a pound, 10 feet in front of you as I had a friend mention to "feel the boom"... cause you'll be feeling a lot more than a boom. There is no fire hazard from Tannerite itself as the chemicals create a water vapor explosion (hence the big white cloud and boom). HOWEVER, depending on what you are packing with, it could be possible to catch stuff on fire from materials/sparks/etc of the packing, so again: Be careful.

Not to be a kill joy, but you can have a lot of fun with standard plastic bottles and stuff. Less to clean up that way as well. Sorry for ranting, a friend was like, "I have an old fridge, and desk, and..." I am not hauling that crap out there, blowin' it up, and then picking up all those pieces. K.I.S.S.

If anyone would like to go out and try it, I'll try to get a date set in late Janurary depending on weather/work schedule/etc. I still have several pounds left over.

ME!

You have no rifle? OMG, I'm speechless....I wouldn't know how to act without at least one rifle!

[Irving]

Well I have an iron sighted .22lr. I don't think it fires fast enough to set off Tanerite though.

Me too, if I can make it.

I'm pretty sure that somewhere in here I saw something that said Stu doesn't own a rifle. That was a joke, right?
