For those of you who haven't tried Tannerite...

I am also a huge fan of Tannerite, I have about eight pounds at any given time. I was surprised as well how close my rifles were to zero :). The outdoor area I go to typically has a bunch of junk people bring up there to shoot (NOT supposed to :mad:). But any big pieces like phone books, boxes, etc I make sure to atomize with the stuff :) the phone book was cool, you were unable to find any given piece bigger than a nickel. I like the stand in the video, easy to replicate :)
 
Funny story about tannerite, my grandmother calls me and says her dryer won't work so I take a spare one from her garage and switch it out. I take the dryer to my range and completely vaporize it with tannerite, well my grandmother calls the next day and says the other dryer won't work, so I head over there to see. Turns out a fuse was blown and I blew up a perfectly good dryer.

I live about a half a mile from 911 dispatch (real small town) set a one tannerite container off one day, next thing I know my phone is ringing and it's dispatch. According to them and some 911 callers there had been an explosion in my area that quite loud. Needless to say cops where here and I had phone calls from 911 and my fire chief.

Be safe and have fun guys

(No laws were violated and all safety rules followed)
 
I bought a case of it recently. Only one other person knows about it. I'm going to set the Chief up when we do quals on our ARs when it gets warmer. :D
 
I've not used any Tannerite before, would it be any good if you uses just little amounts?
For instance the kids got a bunch of the plastic Easter eggs from Grandma and I'm not storing that junk. So, I was wondering if it would be any fun to fill em with Tannerite....
Maybe a little practice on flinching. Put it only some of em and spread em random like around the range. Some late Easter egg hunt fun.. :D

You can use flashpowder for "little" amounts and for rimfire.

"Tannerite" isn't worth buying when Chlorate is $6 a pound. Mix that 3:2 by volume with sugar and shoot it with any supersonic round. Tannerite is basically a tertiary catalyst added to prilled NH4NO3. Little more expensive but...

Chlorate and kerosene (cheddite) will also work too.

Cheap plastic explosives :cool:
 
I've been wanting to plant a small flash/bang of tannerite in a feeding zone. Pigs will come up to feed, nail the tannerite, stun the pigs and pick them off like a at a county fair midway game.

:cool:
 
I have bought about 20-30 targets of it over the past 2 years or so.

It is very fun. Adding flash powder to it allows you to set it off with rim fire bullets.

That is extraordinarily dangerous if you don't know the composition of the flash powder. If it contains potassium chlorate, it can react with the ammonium nitrate to form ammonium chlorate and explode spontaneously. If the flash powder is made with nitrates or perchlorates, you're OK.

I've wondered about making acetylene and oxygen targets and setting them off with tracers...

Nitrate flash is harder to kill yourself with but can still be dangerous, it needs boric acid if used in conjunction with aluminum.

The tannerite catalyst is:
Potassium chlorate 18
Sulphur 6
Dark Aluminum (400 mesh) 6
Bran 2-2.5

Some companies are using Antimony Trisulfide too.

Nothing is really safe, it's all relative.
