It was Marvin the Martian with the earth shattering boom.
I have been told a weather balloon filled with acetylene and helium with a fuse will wake up the feds....
Apparently Darwin does take vacations.This guy was standing a little too close when he lit off the tannerite. Truck door almost nailed him.
I think you would just have a gas can with a hole in it and gas all over the ground, there is nothing there to set it off. What am I missing?Was once told by a fellow who had worked with the Montagnards that a 12 gauge slug would set off a can of gasoline. I never wanted to try it though (or know what they'd done with it).
I once shot one of the small containers with my 5.7. The 198 is 2100fps out of the pistol, so just enough to set it off. I was too close for comfort, won't do that again.Fuel-Air explosives are way, way more powerful than tannerite or anfo. The "MOAB" is a fuel-air bomb (compressed propane and air I think). People that get their shorts in a twist over guns have no idea what can be done with an oxy-acetylene torch rig.
I once shot a two of the small bottles of tannerite in a 20 yard pistol bay (I was outside of the bay and behind my truck). The backstop and sideberms reflected the pressure wave in my direction and the results were . . . impressive. Not a smart thing to do, but . . . reasons.
I'd like to be your friend! (or at least not your enemy)When dealing with gasoline or petroleum based explosives devices remember the basics!
