They're a lot of fun, if I do say so myself.

Re: Fireballs
Well, those two were small ones from the little Coleman propane bottles.
THIS isn't technically a fireball, but it is an explosion and a mushroom cloud caused by roughly 10 pounds of tannerite.

Re: Fireballs
I was under the (mistaken?) impression that shooting a propane bottle without incendiary ammunition wouldn't produce an explosion/fireball/detonation. Right or wrong? With what ammo?
And may I say, from a moral point of view, I think there can be no justification for shoving snack cakes up your action.

all depends on fuel, air mix and source of ignition....
ive seen where people will light a torch near the propane bottles and then shoot them... once the air mixes in enough to get it near the flame, boom...

Re: Fireballs
Sorry, I should have mentioned that we had burning road flares right in front of the bottles as we shot them. The ammo was just plain 7.62x54R heavy ball.workinwifdakids wrote:I was under the (mistaken?) impression that shooting a propane bottle without incendiary ammunition wouldn't produce an explosion/fireball/detonation.

Re: Fireballs
One of them did. The other fireball just kinda went straight up, as you can see in the pic up there, so it didn't cause much of an issue with that flare.308Mike wrote:Did the fireballs knock the road flares out?
We do this fairly regularly, and I'd say they knock out the flares about half the time.
