Ugh requires too much work lol.. Although a reusable setup is kinda cool.

Sort of apples to oranges with tannerite, but very cool idea. Quite genius really, makes me wondee how no one thought of it before.

Fill one with Nitrous Oxide... or pure oxygen... now that would be exciting! :AR15firing: but stand way back.

A poor man's version...

Well, old military guy...


Drop a partial amount of the contents of a MRE heater with about an inch of water into a 2 liter bottle. As the contents mix... will pressurize.

(finding the amount needed to fill but not explode the bottle is the key).





*for those that just want to proceed directly to the explosion part... just drop the contents of the MRE heater in an inch of water, seal and toss (and run).

Seems kind of expensive for what it is, no? $100 for a valve? I bet one could be made for WAY less than that. :thumbsup2:

Pretty cool idea though. Maybe instead of the MRE heater, just a couple of small bits of dry ice?

That's weird . . . I had the same thought as I was watching the videos! :ffight:

It was less dramatic than I was expecting, and honestly the idea of standing next to a bottle while I pump it to 100 psi makes me a little nervous.

When I was a crazy kid, we put vinegar in a plastic bottle (just fill the feet/dimples at the bottom) then roll up some baking soda in a paper towel. Drop the paper towel in when ready, tighten the cap down tight and shoot it with a bb gun. The longer you wait the better it did if the lid holds. Glass bottles were lots of fun put dangerous.

They have the version that only uses soda bottles for 30 bucks. Hundred bucks is for the universal version.

Kinda cool. Gonna try a Chinese reverse engineer on that and see what happens.

Pretty much.

Now . . . think back to the times you've seen people shooting at Tannerite targets. How many shots did it take? How many times did the dirt fly up AROUND the target before it exploded?

And I'm not just talking about mash man at the New Years shoot. Or justincredible3 at the Oly pit. I'm talking about 90% of the time you see folks shooting at Tannerite.

You're gonna need some pretty good AR500 all around that gadget to keep it intact!
