Thread: Exploding targets

One ingredient requires a ticket already so no its not going to be ok here. I shot some in canada a while back with my brother in law, just using the little jars it comes in loud and with a bright flash. After the first hit i think i was flinching in expectation.
While it certainly is a reactive target the videos kind of show it attracts a stupid is as stupid does attitude.

What ingrediant?

Ammonium Nitrate can be brought easily. Trademe has it. Auction number 1161716308.

Aluminium powder is often on Trademe too. Or just buy it from a paint supplier.

STMPRO.co.nz in Wellington has it as well. They sell special effects stuff.

The only ingrediant requiring a 'ticket' is the gun and ammo to set it off.

6th form chemistry. No need to get upset about it.

There's about 10,000 videos on it on youtube anyway.

Buy that stuff online and you WILL end up on a watchlist.

All of it or just some of it, I've been using aluminium powder as a filler in epoxy for reshaping some ports in a 2 stroke and bedding a rifle.....

Rubbish. On a watchlist for buying fertilizer?

I know a guy whose online activities were being watched closely, triggered by the fact that he bought a small quantity of Potassium Nitrate on Trademe. His motives were legit, and nothing came of it. From memory those auctions were being watched because it COULD be used for making meth or something.

Just look at what Timothy McVeigh did with "some fertiliser".

How did you know his online activities were being monitored?

For a while Mitre10 wanted photo ID and the signing of a declaration form before they would sell acetone, apparently that is used in some drug making as well.

How long ago was that ? I use a shitload of acetone for cleaning for degreasing rifle barrels and other parts prior to bluing and have never had to sign a declaration at Mitre 10 or Bunnings
