Who here has made one?
How load are they? can they hurt you, If you make it in a plastic bottle? |
|
Big kablooie, if done right.
Eta: yes, very loud. Gatoraid bottles made the best ones. Can't really injure you too bad though. It's all about finding the right MRE heater, the right bottle and the proper h2o proportion. We blew up an old soviet landmine with one. Looking back, we were dumb as fuck. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Buddy in tech school made one and chucked it through the window into the huts we were living in while out in "the field".
This fat kid was sleeping on his rack shirtless and sure enough it landed square on his gut and blew up. He had a red mark for weeks but luckily no burns. Hilarity ensued. |

Oh yeah. We were handing out candy and shit to some kids and my gunner tosses an MRE bomb out of the truck. One kid picked it up and he's looking at it like "what the fuck is this?" sets it down and it blows up. They all ran off and wouldn't come back to the truck.
-Side note- The gunner in the next truck over was not pleased! |

Thats not right!!?? It should have a BLUE discharge!!

Crushed up and put in the Tabasco sauce bottles, it sounds like a 5.56 round going off and sprays glass shrapnel. Another fun trick, is bulling the bullet from a 7.62 round, and dropping a lit match inside. Set upright it creates a cool sparkler fountain. Then the primer pops. Then the whole platoon jumps out and gets ready to shoot everyone on the side of the road. Then your gunner gets yelled at for being a dumb ass while you attempt to become invisible. |

Someone did that with a .50 cal round inside the back of a maxxpro while in motion. We played it off like the truck was on fire. |

If you do that with a .50 cal round the primer will put a hole through the hood of a humvee. I hear.

A few years back I was making a Theatrical Special Effect.
Loudest to least loud Evian Water Bottles Generic Water Bottles 2 Liter Soda Bottles Gatorade Bottles Fruit Juice Bottles A thinner full cast bottle were better. The Evian Bottles at the time would stretch to 4 times their size and rupture with plastic shards everywhere. Final design was a 2 liter water bottle; stuffed in a pipe that was same size; chunk of all thread at the mid point to hold the plastic bottle in; confetti over the top of inverted bottle; bottle cap was drilled and an air compressor line was attached to a CO2 bottle (air line rated 250 psi; a call to the bottle manufacturer confirmed that 2 litter bottles ruptured at 175 psi). Cue is called, handles twisted and BOOM!!! Confetti every where and people jumping out of their seats. Effect was later used at a local High School for a Veterans Day Ceremony. BOOM!!! Kids Jump, US Flag that has been on the wall for way too long flies off the wall revealing holes in it, Wally the piano player falls off his bench, US Flag gracefully falls back to it's hanging position on the wall looking perfectly new; Band Director things "OH MY F(&$ING GOD!!!" and is sure he will be fired in 3 minutes; the students stand and applaud after a moment of silence. Principal of the school comes to the Band Director sure he is about to be fired; suddenly a ten year science faculty grabs the device and says "this is perfect we are studying the effects of pressure today" and runs off; the Principal says "Nicely done, next time warn me". Band Director escapes any negative repercussions. The bottle is later nailed to the band room wall with a big sign that reads WALLY BOTTLE. YMMV |
| When I was on hurricane duty in '05 we got posted at us highway 49 and 90 for guard duty. There was a Whitney bank with a night guard that would sleep in a folding chair. The police, both local and other agencies like horry county, sc sheriffs and nypd would watch us throw mre bombs at sleepy. It was great. |

I allways liked how it says "rock or something". |

When I was in holdover at Jump School, a retard threw one made with a Gatorade bottle into the quad of the barracks. It went off with enough force to crack a few of the windows. The cadre called the MP's, who brought out the CID (Criminal Investigations Division for you civies). CID arrested PVT Dumbass and charged him with several violations of the UCMJ, with charges related to terrorizing, making a bomb, aggravated assault, and at least one or two other charges. We never saw him again.
While I was in Kosovo, my platoon and another from my company shared a small firebase, from which we conducted patrols of our AO. It consisted of a HESCO barrier perimeter, a few guard towers, a couple porta-johns, a GP small tent for the medics, and four GP medium tents (one for the TOC, one for a DFAC, and one for each of the rifle platoons as sleeping quarters between missions). The two platoons would get into regular MRE bomb fights with each other, usually at night. They were all fun and games until some jackwagon fromt he other platoon got the bright idea to use tobasco sauce instead of water. Not only did it wake up the entire firebase, it turned our tent into a gas chamber for an hour or so. You seriously could not go in it without your eyes and nose burning. To say that the ROE was ramped up from there would be an understatement. lol |
