Apologies if a dupe
media1.break.com/dnet/media/content/backfire3.wmv ETA: They were shooting a jumbo truck tire. What you see is a piece of the rim. |
|
That looked like a piece of metal from a 55 gallon drum or something I wonder what the actual distance was, video and pictures can be deceiving sometimes.
|
|
Whatever was behind them... broke.
I'm guessing that somebody’s car now has a new "feature." |
|
Tire rim that is fuckin sick. |
|
|
Homemade Claymore with the "enemy" side pointed the wrong way.
|
|
After careful review, I think you are right. That is just fucking dumb! |

|
Jesus smiles upon those that shoot tannerite.
Well, I assume that given that no one was killed in the video. - BG |
|
Would of been better if it would of hit him instead.
Stupid people |
|
What's really scary is that they thought it was funny. I wonder how funny they would have thought it had that chunk of rim decapitated one of them.
Man, I did some wild and crazy stuff when I was a kid, but the times I damn near killed myself I wasn't laughing, rather thinking "You dumbfuck, you barely missed killing yourself, better wise up if you want to live to see your second beer". |
|
if you look at it frame by frame it's rubber that flies back at them, not a metal rim. Thats what it looks like from me because of how it flexs around
|
|
That's what... maybe 5 pounds of rubber that covered 100 yards in less than one second. So... 5 Lbs. @ 500 fps Yeah, harmless... totally dude. |
|
|
Even if it were a chunk of rubber, it would not have made a difference to a person that it hit at that speed. |
|
|
Speed holes? |
|
|
I did not watch the video, but I have been a witness to tannerite stupidity and heard refrigerator shrapnel fly over my head at a shoot.
Someday a piece of an old dishwasher will zip through the side of someone's neck and they'll blead out on videotape, then that'll be the end of tannerite. |
|
Note to self, when shooting tannerite, be at least 200 yrds away.
|
|
I don't see any flexion of them -- more like it's rotating until it skips into the ground. I think it's rim.
|
|
Nothing wrong with shooting tannerite by itself at 100y. The problem arises when shrapnel becomes involved. |
|
|
how many cars of members here have been peppered with shrapnel from this stuff?
I see shooting tannerite by itself, but putting it together with discarded metal objects? A serious accident waiting to happen. |
|
Tim from the old Full-auto.com site has a really amazing video of the front of an old dryer flying right at him. He was much closer than the shooter in that video, and it was coming right at the video-taker, veered off at the last second.

looks like a piece of rubber from the edge of the tire to me. Course at that speed, and packed with steel belts, it'd be just as bad as a rim.
|
|
did I ever say it was harmless, did I mention any where in my post I thought it was less dangerous since it was "only" rubber, don't be a fuck and try and twist what I typed. |

"Here, hold muh beer n'watch this"
What a bunch of dumbfucking shitferbrains! Yeah, its even MORE fun when Tanneretards bring their little kids to shoots and set off tannerite IEDs in washing machines at 100yrds! WHOO-HOO! When Tannerite is finally banned because of dipshits like this, I'll be at all the dipshits like this who'll be squeeling like stuck pigs because they won't be able to set off IEDs scattering shrapnel at the whole firing line anymore. |
|
I just don’t get the distinction between rubber and steel. If that had hit any of the (at least) 4 people standing there, nothing anyone could have done would have saved em. Rubber=dead Rim=dead *shrug* |
|||
|
Why would someone put Tannerite inside any hard, solid object?? I can see a watermelon or something like that, but anything else is pretty dumb.
BTW: I love Tannerite, and shoot it frequently. |
|
Tannertards, appropriate name. What was it at least year's bulletfest? A charge inside a washing machine with a rotor on top? If anything had come to the firingline it couldn't have not hit someone.
|
|
Ban tannerite. It's for the children. 87 children have been killed this year by tannerite, 1/2 as many as lightning strikes already!
|
|
We have a nice berm to hide behind where we shoot it. I would NOT shoot it in that open of an area! Crazy stuff.
|
|
Hard to tell from the perspective of that camera, but I don't think the tire was anywhere near 100 yards away.
I shot at a bottle on the beach, once--we were on a bluff, about 60 yards back and a good 45 feet UP. It threw rocks over our heads and into the woods. |
|
Tannerite-charged watermelons, pumpkins, etc. at 300 yards are perfectly satisfying to shoot. |
|
|
I think Goonsnet had the video of the guys that blew apart a car with tannerite. They just about got the car off the ground with it.
|

www.tannerite.com/ it is an explosive made by mixing two otherwise inert powders together (Campybob posted the directions on making it once, but I forget what it is). It explodes (usually) when hit with a rifle bullet. I think it was originally marketed for blowing up tree stumps but now people buy it for fun. |
