Farken big bang at both ends, would literally vapourise a car body at 600 or 800M. Only issue was there was always a fire after the shooting had stopped and it usually took all day to put out! Go 31B battery RNZA

Can't argue with that one other than to say 84 mm fired of the shoulder at an old tank is pretty exciting.

For the Karen's out there maybe you should tell the army to clean up as well.

Back to shooting inanimate objects responsibly in a controlled manner and removing your waste for sustainable disposal afterward.

List so far:

Spectrum 48K - destroyed with 12Ga and 7.62

Beta-max Cassette Player - destroyed with 12Ga and 7.62

Spray Cans - definitely the most fun!

That's very similar to what happened on one of the last episodes of Westside. Except it was a pokie machine Ted had pinched and they took turns at bashing it at a party.
I'm damn sure that programme was based on the locals from out Hellensville way.

Sounds like fun, I thought those guys threw a 9kg lpg bottle on a fire once?

AH, so many good ideas here.

This thread should be on the top of the list every day!

I once built a nice little fire, put a camping gas cylinder on it and retreated to a safe distance. The pressure built up and the concave end popped out to convex but the cylinder held together. I shot it with a .22 and the gas came out in such a rush that it blew the fire out. Bit of a dissappointment really....

Can of Esky-start wrapped in a burning kero soaked rag and shot with .222 hollow point - fun city!

At least theres others that like to have some fun this day and age. Too many Karen's and not enough explosions.

Put it on a large tarp and put a 12ga slug through it.
BLAMO, lots of ice. And it was spectacular.

Please tell me it was copper, not lead... At least not for human consumption.

Big blocks of ice are great fun to shoot though.

I had a (what I thought) is great idea this morning in the shower. A gas cannister with a pilot light next to it, then to the side an expired fire extinguisher. Set a wee fire then extinguish it from a couple hundred meters away.

That may or may not have been tried when some gum diggers were present.

Quite a few tracers have been wasted on trying to improve LPG bottles....
Never with any success though
I reckon a bunch of balloons filed with oxygen all around the bottle, ten put one through it and that should work.
Shame some boring cafe dweller had a bright idea and banned tracers. Really safe from all those tracer mass killings now aye.

It was Roman vitamins.
I did think of that, but it was only for cooling the keg so I didn't loose any sleep over it, plus those munters would have benefitted from some Plumbium in their diet anyway.

Nah the savages in a movie....Westie themed.

Always wondered about a part empty/full(depending your perspective) LPG bottle next to a pilot flame....

many moons ago I threw a 4ish kg 3/4 empty gas canister on a big bonfire I had going and legged it. After about a minute heard the ting ting ting of it expanding then WHOMPH shot a fireball 40 feet into the air and put the fire out. Base of the fire was about 5x5m. a few mins later an Iroquois came over ( were not far from Whenuapi) might have been a coincidence but it sure made a noise

Definitely have to give that one a go.

Cans of expanding foam are spectacular

Those cheap crates of soda from the warehouse are great reactive targets. Added bonus is the pleasant aroma of grape as you pick your rubbish up.
