Oh yeah, lots of fun. Get back quite a ways from the 6 half pounders. Hit it dead center. If you nick the cap and spill the contents, you just wasted your money.

You bet! Way cheaper than dope or hookers, and almost as much fun! I've only used the smaller size, 12 oz.? vials. These provide a very satisfying BOOM, and I'm not sure you get any more volume out of a larger quantity. Now, if you want the explosion to do some actual work --- think after-Halloween-surplus pumpkins piled in pyramids --- for example, maybe the larger charges would be worthwhile... The chest-thumping concussion of a larger charge may also contribute to your enjoyment, but I'll let anyone with experience testify...

The more you have, the bigger the boom. Go to Youtube and search for Tannerite and Geo Metro together. You'll see! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8zFW...has_verified=1

Funny You would ask this now. Saturday it was snowing pretty good and my daughters boyfriend brings over this stuff. We shot it first with a 40 Carbine, didn't go off so we read the directions.

Directions say bullit has to be going over 2000 fps. so out comes the AR.

The newer Tannerite is supposed to work at a lower velocity rate that the old, plus the new granulated doesn't clump up like the older stuff did.
