that stuff he shot, that Tannerite

is AKA flash powder, used in firecrackers and m-80's

I knew a guy who'd put that in small dixie cups

went off like/sounded like it was dynamite

neighborhood dogs would crap the carpets

not so funny for the dog owners

that was in the 80's

That video, damn.

Needless to say, when it comes to explaining why he was doing something so stupid, that guy doesn't have a leg to stand on.

That dude clearly didn't understand what the word EXPLOSION means.

What the frick? Did he think it would just go boom and nothing would go flying out from it?

Dude was inside of 25 yards.

Damn. I think some of the shrapnel from that explosion got lodged in your brain.

Remember kids. Just because you can do something. Doesn't mean you should

Isn't there a video of guys detonating some tanerite remotely while wild hogs are at a feeder. Those dumbasses arent far enough away either. Pig parts are falling pretty close to them. If parts of pig can fly up and then down onto you, it stands to reason a nearby rock or pig skull fragment can reach you. Only at a few hundred fps.
