I'm thinking (since you have a .308 listed in your arsenal) you need some Raufoss Super Incendiary ammo to go along with it!! :enlighten:

I quit flying years ago after flying with my MIL and FIL in their plane. Scared the crap out of me. :whistle:

I do have some .308 tracers but I'm not putting them through my rifle. I'm scared they will screw something up and affect accuracy.

Actually, that round I linked to detonates on impact (supposedly - I've never fired it, don't have any place to test that, otherwise I'd probably) so it's not supposed to burn like a tracer... I just figured the ~5000 degree explosion on impact could only help ensure a nice, loud bang... :clap: But I understand not wanting to shoot those types of ammo. Let us know how the targets work out!

Here's a tannerite explosion. Don;t turn this video up too loud - there's a lot of whoopin' and hollerin' after it goes boom.

Thats pretty cool. Was that contrails from a jet or a flare from the explosion. Look at the upper right after it explodes. No wonder they had it so far away... :clap:

Well it went BOOM :thumbsup: I went over Sgt.Bill's place and we set it on top of a 5gal bucket 100 yards away. I didn't get the full effect of the boom because I was wearing ear plugs but it was something to see. :clap: It blew the bottom out of the bucket and shredded the rest of it. I can see a case of them in the near future. :pistol:

Wow, those are cool! If you liked them, check out the ones we sell at Ozarkpyro.com! Unlike Tannerite, we are currently working on new explosive creations non-stop. We believe we also may of found a way to make them much cheaper, so keep an eye out for that!
We also just redesigned our site! Give it a look-see!

This question came up during the Shoot and Greet on Saturday... Does Tannerite explode violently enough to bust up a beaver dam or other similar type of application?

Rick I believe it would put a hurtin' on a beaver dam, even better when 2 or 3 are mixed together. Iv'e mixed 2 together and it was a BIG bang. Plus you don't have to worry about setting anything on fire, the dust from it will put out a fire according to the instructions. I have 4 or 5 left that I'm saving for June 5 and I may try mixing 3 and blowing up a 5 gallon water jug or something.

It's redneck dumb and yes Iv'e been very tempted to try it but for now I'll stick to the tannerite, it's safer WHEN USED PROPERLY. :whistle:

If you do it from 200 yards away, what could it possibly hurt? :) :machinegun:
