| What is the URL for the company that sells the binary explosives as used at the BRC? |

Some Fed in a cubbyhole somewhere is probably creaming his shorts. In the past two days we have had threads on the following: "I want a sawed off shotgun" "Strange AR-15/M16" "Chemical suppliers online" "Binary Explosives" Canivore is probably shorting out about now.... Scott [beer] |

Quoted: could someone fill me in on the use and benefits of the tannerite targets? Follow the above link--it is an excellent site with a link first thing at the top that has pics and a full explanation. Basically, it is a safe, legal, two-part concoction that, when mixed, forms a compound that explodes when shot. It cannot be set off any other way, but produces a very cool flash of light and smoke and chest-thumping "BOOM!" when detonated. It is a fun, and fairly cheap, toy. |

i just looked over the tannerite site. pretty neat stuff. i'm not real clear on the binary idea though. it mentions that the "unmixed" form needs to be detonated with number 8 caps...which are kind of expensive for recreational use. (at least with my budget). can you detonate the stuff in "mixed" form without saftey risks? edited to add that i was talking about the nitro sticks above. and after reading more on the targets, i'm wondering if you have to use a 1/2 pound per target. or can you use less? |

Yes, you just shoot it. It is not dangerous in any way, as verified by the antics at the BRC. You should have seen the "mad scientist" mixing the stuff up. It is two powders that are simply stirred/shaken together to form the final mixture, which is then put into a suitable plastic container and then shot, from a safe distance. The friction of the bullet sets it off--no cap needed. Safe to handle, etc. We did not use less than a half pound, but we used a lot more. (Heehee) Less would just have less dramatic results, but would still work. Edit: Here are some good pics of a couple targets at the BRC: [url]www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?id=122106[/url] |
