Home Made Gun Powder

Guy tried to make his own fireworks. The background music is appropriate. What an idiot.

Kiddies, don't try this at home.

[glad he was ok]

Would have been fitting for him to start off with ...... "Hold my beer and watch this"

[A-R]

seen that one before, but it's funny every time.

by the way, shouldn't this be in the Reloading Forum?

Nah, the guy was dumb, but he wasn't dumb enough to reload and try it again.

I think I did something similar as a youngster.

Boys will be boys.

Betcha he fries turkeys inside the house.

Ok ok I did (ounce only) blow my eyebrows off.

Hopefully, he does not have children. I cannot even guess, if he does, what their common sense level would be.

One the other hand..................... When I was about eight, I took a box of caps and smacked 'em with a hammer. (You know the rolls of paper caps we all had in our six shooter?) IIRC there were five rolls of caps in a box. In any event, the hammer recoiled back and almost 'put my eye out'. It was MUCH louder than I would have guessed--but heck, I was eight! The box caught on fire and I got my butt tanned........

He should try to get a job with Acme and sell ordinance to Wile E. Coyote and Foghorn Leghorn.

Yeah, the Magnesium comment got me, as well.

"Ah, yes, that was where it all went wrong..."

The only deacon in my church without a CHL told me when he was young, he hit a .22 cartridge with a hammer, which injured his brother (who is ok) He's over 60 now, but he feels he's still not responsible enough to own a gun. ... I respect him for realizing that. Great fellow, you can count on him for anything any time ...but in that area, I agree. And that's not a common thing for me to say about anyone.

It's funny, but it's a fake, unless the explosion has the ability to change his shirt, turn the lights on, and leave no black marks inside the foil.

You noticed that, too. It is funny though!

Do the hobby shops still sell chemicals, I remember when I was 12 buying salt peter, sulpher and carbon at the local hobby shop and making gun powder. It was terrible stuff, no where near as good as the stuff we got by unrolling perfectly good firecrackers.
