Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tannerite on short list now - executive action???

That and shooting the 50 BMG at the 100 yard targets. I actually stopped and looked around when someone set off some Tannerite recently. My initial thought was that someone's new plastic rifle hadn't contained a handload that was only slightly smarter than the gun's bearer. When crap landed right in front of my station after the second target was hit, I wasn't surprised. I did get a bit of a surprise another time however when I was burning up a bit of leftover ammo in offhand practice. I was picking out random junk out on the range and must have run a 400 grain lump of lead through a target that had been left behind....way too close to the firing line.

Tannerite as far as I know is likely a registered trademark product.
I'm betting the bomber used a combination of ammonia nitrate (fertilizer) and aluminum powder (fireworks, chemistry supply). Well to save time maybe he bought some targets, we will never be told the truth on this one either way.

The list of easily made explosives available to the scumbags to use is quite extensive. At least that is what I have heard.


What he used to initiate the explosion is likely something we will never hear, authorized to speak or not agent/officer.

I wondered that myself..If it turns out the scumbag used a homebrew mix, surely the company behind Tannarite would sue the Feds?

Register farmers. ;-{>8

I love Tannerite.

Executive orders??? Tannerite??? Check...

Put three pounds in a riding lawnmower and shoot it standing 75 feet away?
Darwin award candidate no doubt.

Only you would admitt that

A couple weeks ago I went to one of my customers and the lined up 4 junk PWC (personal water crafts) and we put a pound in the hull and blew them up
It was awesome

The tiger sharks blew to pieces
the Yamahas stayed together very well very impressive

I had my Mini Howa in 223 and it got to do the honors

The ATF may not regulate the components, but someone does.

There are lots of strict storage regulations for Ammonium Nitrate, and you have to sign for it when you buy it.

A few years ago I could make a phone call and have tons delivered to my place but now lots of dealer don't even sell it.

I've seen reports there were traces of "a black gunpowder"

They already have to sign for Ammonium Nitrate and Anhydrous Ammonia

They won't allow us to fart before long

It wasn't residue that they found

So it didn't even go off?

+1

Nice.
