@P38 you class a 50 cal PCP a SLUG GUN!! What sort of childhood did you have?

To me and my mates growing up a slug gun was a BSA or Norinco from the local hardware shop that would only hurt if you shot your mate while wearing his big brothers motorcycle jacket.

You can see the little orange target on the paper big lot of fun!

Tommy what did you think of this running boar range do you know if there is one in NZ?

I don't think Arthur would like it.

Who's Arthur?

Hahahaha Arthur would be minus one thousand keen.

Arthur is the head RO at our range, which is in a forest which has a strict no smoking/flames etc policy.

Could be a hoot somewhere damp out Port Waikato way though

That video is pretty funny/crazy.
I will laugh at these things when it highlights their own stupidity.

There are plenty of videos online if you want to see it for yourself.
My question is, do you think there would be much demand for a product like this in the New Zealand market?

Are you in fact a manufacturer of such targets?

One ingredient requires a ticket already so no its not going to be ok here. I shot some in canada a while back with my brother in law, just using the little jars it comes in loud and with a bright flash. After the first hit i think i was flinching in expectation.
While it certainly is a reactive target the videos kind of show it attracts a stupid is as stupid does attitude.

I seen some get shot here....
No idea where it came but it was all good.

Right on!
I cannot believe the reaction to a single no introduction post. It is as if the OP has tossed a hand grenade into a room and then stood back to watch the reaction.

No. This is NZ, not America.

.22 Magnum??? LOL!

What ingrediant?

Ammonium Nitrate can be brought easily. Trademe has it. Auction number 1161716308.

Aluminium powder is often on Trademe too. Or just buy it from a paint supplier.

STMPRO.co.nz in Wellington has it as well. They sell special effects stuff.

The only ingrediant requiring a 'ticket' is the gun and ammo to set it off.
