ever seen the pics of the guys hand that shot a reloaded 37mm starburst? Actually, it really wasn't a picture of a hand................just a mangled mess of flesh. It wasn't a starburst, it was a commercial bird bomb, and he sued the hell out of the company that made it. I know the backstory, the 37mm/40mm community is pretty small and I've been involved with it for a long time. |

The guy with the homemade flamethrower still owns the night and the 4th. What exactly do you reload those with for $2 a pop, that seems like a pretty good deal and makes having one of those more of an option. Guy with the homemade flamethrower is going to blow himself up. The fuel he uses in that thing will dissolve the parts he built it out of over time and he pressurized it with regular air, allowing the fuel to atomize in the tank as it runs empty. Basically a fuel-air bomb strapped to his back. As for the reloads, you basically get a bunch of those firework aerial shells, choosing shells that fit your barrel diameter, you pull off the lift charge on the shell, load up your casing with a #209 primer and a lift charge of FFG and seat the "warhead" in your case and seal it with some hot glue. The lift charges sends the shell into the air, and lights the fuse in the base of the burst. Works the exact same way as launching it from that cardboard tube, but now it's from your launcher. |

ive seen those online, arent they like 5 for 100 bucks expensive? You can get them 10 for 100 bucks, I can reload them for about 2 bucks a pop. 10 bucks a pop isnt that bad. ive been wanting to get a 37 or 40mm ever since shooting one at geiger. those things are pretty fun, and surpisingly accurate. |

The Spikes launcher is the best deal going right now. You can buy it now, have fun with it, and then when you're ready you can register it as DD then bore the barrel out to 40mm. |

oh well
| I used to think fireworks were cool until I became old enough to buy guns and now they're kind of meh to me. Seems like a waste of money to buy fireworks that are made in China and actually work as advertised 50% of the time when I could roll that money into ammo that I know will work exactly as advertised. |

I'll be working, as usual, on the 4th. Being a hospital worker, I'll be the one taking xrays of those of you playing "Hold my beer and watch this!" I can't wait to meet you and shake your hand if I'm physically able to If I ask for pictures of your g/f or wife just ignore it and call in a hot nurse please.

I smell a rat.. The website now says that the projectile was loaded with something used to make "Bird Bombs" and hints that there was no loading information supplied with said compound. I have come across this web page several times in the past, and it made similar references to a lawsuit and that the product was advertised to "Give Grown Men Woodies :)" We all know that means it was Tannerite as that's how their ads read. If you are dumb enough to pack a shock sensitive explosive warhead into an enclosed cartridge that is propelled by an explosive powder, Darwin didn't intend for you to live thru the experience to sue someone else for your fucking stupidity. That guy is a moron and I hope he loses his lawsuit. |

Gotta say +1 on that, im sorry he lost his hand, however its this type of crap that ends with things that are fun if used as intended being taken away by .gov because some people cant read warnings or follow directions. |

Now I have ammo that are also fireworks. It's win-win for me. |
