Ready For Some Real Fun ?

when gas was cheap( less then a buck)  we use to take gallon milk jugs, fill then with gas, put a candle behind them, then try to hit them with a M1  at 200-400 yds  at night. 

We've done the same type of thing with a paper plate and a can of carb & choke cleaner.

That makes you entirely responsible for "Global Warming"......

We used spray paint, and other aerosol cans,......

expired fire extinguishers are also fun, just make sure they are low on presure.  So are lpg tanks that can no longer be used.  the one ATM of gas in them and API ammo = big boom.

Yep.

When hit with a .223 projectile, they will also fly 200 yards down the Ocmulgee River.

Back then Melanie and I used to drive out into the desert and shoot. I would get these 5 gallon metal grease pails, (the kind with the metal tabs on the lid you would bend over to seal.), from work. We would bring them along with a couple of jerry cans of gasoline and fill them to the brim and seal the tabs. I would set them out at 250 yards or so and place a candle on each side about 2 feet from the can itself.

When dusk came I would drive a .458 dia. 510 grain Hornady Soft Point into them with a max load out of my .460 Weatherby. The resulting fireball was huge, and the lid of the can went straight up over 100 feet. It was better to mix half and half gasoline with Kerosene because the fireball would last longer and give off a unbelievable cloud of think black smoke. Kerosene is getting expensive and hard to find, and they are building farther and farther out into the desert these days so it isn't worth the trouble. Now that I have the my .50 BMG I would love to try it with a round of API, but as I said it has all been reduced to a memory because of more people and more building.  Bill T.
