Couldn't I just use a propane tank?   Maybe even the smaller ones from blow torches or camping stoves?

I was wondering why in my state I can't even buy crappy little fire crackers but no issue with exploding targets.  Eventually it seems they take away everything that's fun.  :(

You can make an exploding target out of first-aid cold packs and powdered aluminum.

Just like always, they blame the implement instead of the users.

First sign that they are collecting too many taxes is that the governmental idiots actually have time and staff to do this.

Would black powder ignite/explode from being shot?

Thinking a cardboard tube (toilet roll) of bp, spray glue on the out side rolled in a few primers and wrapped in duck tape and hit with a rifle or pistol would cause a boom...  ;D

Each cap would need a nipple, then you would have basically a civil war era hand grenade and no need to shoot it.

You can always try your hand at Touch Powder...if you have the nerve.

Squirt it in a keyhole and when someone puts a key in it it goes off.
Good for a laugh !
