Dangerous Business

In the seriousness of the internet I ran across this journal entry.

So it got me thinking. How many people here at GFF has dabbled around with bombs (pipe or otherwise), explosives, fire (pyromaniacs?), flash powder, thermite, or other items of a generally hazardous nature?

Personally I have never really "played" around with those things but this not to say that I don't have experience with them. I was a combat engineer in the army so I have a healthy respect for explosives.

So what has been your experience with this sort of potentially mayhem invoking goods, good or bad?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I knew some guys that thought it would be cool to shoot a propane tank out in the forest. It wasn’t a small tank either, about the size of something you would power a full sized BBQ grill with. The idiots recorded it too. It was actually pretty stupid cool and incredibly loud. The only thing I've heard that was louder would probably be a claymore mine.

As for myself I'll be testing a .50 BMG military barrel once I get the breech lock built for it. That is going to be cool.

So none of you have ever smashed up a Piccolo Petes (loud obnoxious firework) to make it go boom? I figured every little kid did at least something like that.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
