I have several slug guns that would easily be classed as high power.

50cal air rifles have been known to kill bear.

@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.

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

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

Basically it's two chemicals which, when mixed together, explode when shot with a .223 or higher. Even when mixed the targets are extremely stable and can be dropped, hit with a hammer and even thrown in a fire and won't explode. 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?

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.

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.

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.

6th form chemistry. No need to get upset about it.

There's about 10,000 videos on it on youtube anyway.
