Wow!!! Knowing something about explosives now I can say what happened is predictable. I think about all the times in my past when I was a kid… and it’s a miracle we didn’t kill ourselves with a pipe bombs or modifying ammunition. God does look after children and fools (some say drunks).

SFC (Join to see) I think I make it on both categories, little children and drunks! LOL I left that part of the story out, as kids my twin brother and i used ot fill CO2 cartridges with gunpowder from 22 rounds and set a fuse and blow them. Put a hole in the side if my fathers house once! It really is surprising we didn't kill ourselves. I should have gone EOD as I had some background as 1 15 year old bomb maker!

SFC William Farrell - We used power in our pipe bombs, I won’t say how we doctored our ammunition because I don’t want to give anyone ideas

SFC William Farrell and SFC (Join to see) Maybe we should say thanks that you did not participate in rocketry? I used model rocket engines and model rockets in some of my projects.

You were light years ahead of us using rockets. We just couldn’t get our hands on that kind of stuff. The thought of combining rockets with the bombs we used to make; makes my knees shake just thinking about it.

We did a lot of work with explosives in my first unit and it gave me a very healthy respect for the power and destructiveness of that stuff. I have way more respect than idiots who do this crap. There's another video out there on some idiot who packed a riding lawnmower with tannerite - he lost a leg when shrapnel from the explosion severed it. These people are morons.

CW4 Guy Butler - Good video, I never saw that one. Awhile back I heard an explosion across a valley where I live, I didn't know what was used but it was obviously an explosion, it turned out to be this stuff. A pack of fools set off a whole case at once, thank God they didn't attach the charge to anything or bury it.
