OH YEA BABY!!!
The stuff is AWESOME! A friend of mine got some. We went out to the desert to try it out. It was the most fun we have had in YEARS!
We used the recommended amounts, it looks like a 1/2 stick of dynomite going off.
The first one was just by itself, just to get a feel of what it was capable. Just to cool.
Second one, we put in a gallon jug of water. WOOOO BABY!!! Have to say that it was one lucky shot to get it go off. But way awesome! Had a water spray of over 100 feet. Vaporized the jug. We did find some pieces of the container for the tannerite.
Third and following bangs we found a bunch of left over computer parts that others had shot up. We made "castles" of junk with the tannerite at the bottom. We cleared the area! When we were done, there wasn't a recongizable piece of computer equipment left. Even the heavy guage metal for the computer cases were warped to cool shapes. Several of the welds were completely blow apart.
The last big castle we did, we had stuff flying over 100 yards. i.e over our heads. That one scared us because some of the stuff almost hit the truck, that was behind us.
After the first one went off, I was giggling like a little kid. Ideas were going through my head that I haven't had for years. Back when I used to play with fireworks and blowing up models, dreaming of being able to get a bigger bang! Well, I found it!
I like the idea of hanging the bottles on a string. I only read about that on their site, after our outing.
I like your idea of putting them in film canisters. Then taking them to a shooting match and taping them to the steel tartgets and not telling anyone. Wait for the lucky shot to hit the canister. hehehehehehe
As for the fire hazard... I don't know. I know I won't be doing our second batch till it rains here.
Safe distance, 75-100 yards minimum.
Shipping to CA??? Call them.
Definately worth the $$$ !!!!!!!
