Edit: Changed FTP link to Hotlink.

Is that the can moving around that causes the flame to seem to start on the left and move to the right? Have you tried different amounts of stuff remaining in the can? For example- does a full can work a lot better or worse than a 1/2 can? _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Where's the next port of call "You Tube". AL Exploding Target Vid!!!   Posted: Sun May 20, 2007 8:55 pm StevieLaner7777 Moderator Joined: 07 Mar 2007 Posts: 1060 Location: Herefordshire, UK Hi AirGunEric!! The reason for why the can moved from the left to the right in the Vid is because the can was completely compressed, So the pellet didn't quite make it out of the other side which caused the can to spin violently as the flammable vapor rapidly escaped through the one side, So the can slowly spun it's way to the right. Also that was the first time that I have experimented with the tesco brand room fragrance, So I was a bit concerned what might happen, (In case it exploded and spread fire everywhere) but all went well, And for safety purposes I did have my trusty fire extinguisher with me. As for your question on the 1/2 can working better or not: I haven't experimented enough to come to a conclusion... YET, As that was only the third time that I've tried the exploding target experiment. But there will be more to come in the future!!

As for the can spinning the other way: It probably would have been clear of the washing as it is in the foreground and the can was in the background, So it's likely that it wouldn't have happened, (Not that you can predict fire anyway). Yet if it did got the other way it could have caught on the lavender first and then the washing, So I guess you could be right in a way!! (I always keep a fire extinguisher with me when doing this, It's just common sense I guess). Stevie _________________ "Who Dares Wins" - SAS 22nd Regiment Hereford.

They sell small Cola cans of an unnamable brand here. A tray for less then 5 euro's with 30 can's. They are a bit smaller then regular CocaCola cans too. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Fri Jun 08, 2007 2:26 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" Don't forget to shake them before shooting! _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Yeah, I know the brand you mean, That sell smaller than average Cola, Though I don't drink the stuff (bad for ya teeth). Anyone ever tried putting the cola can in a paint shaker before shooting? Apparently this makes the cola can explode like an atomic bomb, LOL. Here's a clip from "The Simpson's" that just happens the be on the subject: Note: The sound is a bit quiet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSMH5cJ35C4&mode=related&search= Stevie _________________ "Who Dares Wins" - SAS 22nd Regiment Hereford.   Posted: Fri Jun 08, 2007 8:22 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Don't use them stright out of the fridge put them in warm water first, it improves the effect.

Here the cheap-a$$ brand is called "River". It's terrible muck. You can't drink it. It can eat a human head in 5 seconds. _________________ BIG GAP Exploding targets!!!     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Target Shooting: Casual, Fun and Competition You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 2 of 2   Goto page Previous  1, 2 All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
