This stuff is great if you have a lot of land, and no uptight neighbors. The first shot is a stack of wooden pallets, the second is just the target on the hill.

 I have a few of them....... I like the 1 lb's better!!  I like to open up stuffed animals and blow them to very little pieces. I was out at the range to day, no one was there while I was mixing them up, after I put them out the range hand came up and wanted to know what I was shooting at. Man you should have seen him JUMP.....
I love tannerite, but I hate the price |

| I haven't tried the 1 lb's yet, although I did buy a case of them. It will be a couple of months before I head out to my folks farm where I can pop them. They frown on things like that in my neighborhood |

Just make sure you have an area that you can use it. It will rattle windows 1/4 mile away with the small ones ! |

I have a neighbor who torques me off daily. I'm thinking a great place would be his front door. 
Seriously, I have nowhere to enjoy this (I live in a townhouse complex), but if I did, I'd be having fun with it. |

| Sneaking and taping an exploding target to the back side of you buddy's target bullseye is a hoot. Funny to watch the intial reaction when the middle of his target disappears in a cloud of smoke. |

| I know you are kidding about the front door....but I placed one of the small charges in front of a Kevlar vest, and it literally turned it into confetti. This stuff explodes with about 5X the blast of gasoline. From 100 yards away, it launched a section of 4X4 beam (the center beam of a pallet) over our heads by about 20 yards. |

| when we used it we had a 3 ft diameter log that my buddy had in is truck. he couldn't get it to split so he just kept it in his truck for weight. well when we first started shooting them we had just bought a couple of m44 mosin nagants. we kept nicking the container and tipping it over. these were the 1/2 pounders. well we decided to tape the container to the log and started shooting open sights at 100 yards. damn near shhiitt myself when that thing went off. the biggest piece we found was about the size of a pop can and that was over 75 to 100 feet away from the target. i forgot to mention that the 3 foot log was placed on top of a 55 gallon drum. that ended up looking like a exploded pop can. now remember these were only 1/2 pounders. i just found out they make 2 pounders. i don't know what there going to do but if i decide to go any bigger they the 1/2 pounders i will not be shooting them any closer then 200 to 300 yards. |

| Ya know, the above is a darned good question. This stuff is basically a binary explosive. Now, in order to buy Kin-E-Pack- a really good binary we use in rock blasting, I have to be 21 yrs old, have a State license, a Federal Responsible Person license, a Federal Employee Possessor license, and- to mix the two- a Federal Manufacturer's license. Or have a credit card and access to the internet to buy Tannerite. I figure this will last until one of Osama's buddies fires 50 lbs of this in the trunk of a car at a music festival. |

Couple of questions on this stuff. In the video http://www.tannerite.com/nu.html .. the guy is using a silencer on his rifle. Why? does the gunblast override the explosion? Will a .22 set it off? I want some! |

According to Tannerite.com, even a .357 magnum wont set it off. A .22 definately wont. |

| The guy doesnt even have the least bit of recoil http://www.tannerite.com/nu.html . Is it the bullet velocity that sets it off or bullet weight? |

any high speed cartiage will work, no pistol rounds

Taken from Tannerite.com....
"The sensitivity of this binary is quite remarkable. Most explosive mixtures sensitive enough to be initiated by the strike of a bullet are too sensitive to handle and usually do not detonate completely. The Tannerite targets require High impulse energy in order to detonate and detonation is always complete. Impulse energy is expressed as ft/lbs per microsecond. (Energy delivered to the target based upon the time required to penetrate it). The minimum impulse energy required to initiate detonation of these binary targets is approximately (4.5. - 5.0 ft/lbs per u/sec). A .357 magnum produces impulse energy of approximately (1.3 ft/lbs per u/sec). These numbers relate only to the penetration of this specific target. This means that accidental detonation from dropping or crushing is very unlikely."
I think they're saying that it doesnt depend on how much the bullet weighs or how fast its moving, but how fast a bullet can deliver its energy to the target. |
