Wife and i went out last night to do our gender reveal. She had seen the tannerite packs with the chalk bags and decided thats what she wanted to do. I looked at it and decided that for 75$ we can do a much bigher boom if we get the stuff ourselves. So i got 25# of 34-0-0, 1# of AL powder amd 20# of blue chalk. Got a 3 gal bucket that i mixed in the AN and AL together and shook it up as i added a little bit at a time. Emptied the chalk into ziplock bags and put the bags on top of the bucket. When i shot the bucket all i got was a little poof (the gunshot was 100× louder). Im not sure what went wrong and just trying to figure it out. I shot it with an ar, as far as my research has gone, thats enough to set it off. All i can think of is maby i didnt do exactly 95 to 5 ratio. I still have about a pound or so left of the AN.

The child will choose its own gender when its old enough. Don't interfere and pre=judge.

Your gender reveal resulted in a little poof? Not sure how to take that.

You shoot the tannerite and have red or blue chalk around it. The tannerite explodes the chalk and you get a blue or red(pink) cloud of dust. To show either a boy or a girl.

The mix ratio should be 95% AN to 5% AL powder.

556 is iffy on setting off tanerite. Especially a larger amount. Should have went 308 to be sure.

These things are THE MOST self centered, special snowflake, "everybody look at me", "everybody tell me I'm special", "someone find out what gender my baby is, keep it a secret and plan a big reveal party and make it a special day for me", bullshit I've ever heard of in my entire life.

Then maybe every fucking person who talks about the pregnancy shouldn't ask "is it a boy or a girl?"

I had planned on using my 308 and even brought it. But i just put new scope rings on it and hadnt zeroed it yet. The sun was already down and didnt want to waste time sighting it in. So i used the ar, if i go again ill use the 308 for sure.

Disregard.

I thought this was one of those 'parties' where you drag everyone and their dog over to your house at about 2:00 on a Sunday when they could be doing better things and make them try to care about the gender of your baby.

If you just filmed it with the intention of sending it to family, that's actually pretty cool.

It needs to be packed tighter. Putting the chalk bags in the bucket probably messed you up. You want the container to be sealed (lid) and be as small as possible to fit it all.

Does it need to be packed tight? The mixture was in the bucket amd it had the lid on. The chalk was on the bucket not in. Although the mixture didnt fill the bucket completly it still had about 5"  space to the top. But it did have the lid on.
