Black Friday and no shopping for us. We went out for a day shooting with the fam. Then to cap of the afternoon blew up a 10lb Tannerite charge & BBQ'd some hotdogs. 3 pumpkins (pumpy) were place around the target and were vaporized upon detonation. I hope you enjoy and would love to know what you think. Thank you so much for watching. Bobby B. note: Tannerite is sold in pre-sized quantities for target practice, avalanche control and police use, as well as by the pound. Tannerite consists of two components: a catalyst or sensitizer and a bulk material or oxidizer. The oxidizer is a mixture of 85% 200-mesh ammonium nitrate and 0--15% ammonium perchlorate, while the catalyst is a mixture of 90% 600-mesh dark flake aluminium powder, 5% 325-mesh titanium sponge and 5% 200-mesh zirconium hydroxide. Simpler mixtures of ammonium nitrate and aluminium powder often named as ammonal are also known to work. In the United States, ATF regulations allow the two components to be legally purchased, since neither one is an explosive by itself. However, the mixture is an explosive and once mixed, must be detonated immediatly. Mixed Tannerite cannot be transported without following strict regulations including insurance, packaging, and signage on the vehicle. Various regulations also govern the storage of mixed Tannerite. A Minnesotan man was fined $2,583 and sentenced to three years' probation on charges of detonating an explosive device and unlawful possession of components for explosives after he detonated 100 lb (45 kg) of Tannerite inside the bed of a dump truck by shooting it with a .50 caliber rifle from 300 yards (270 m) away on January 14, 2008 in Red Wing, Minnesota. The man was on probation when he mixed and shot the Tannerite and was not allowed to possess firearms or explosives. The blast could be felt at Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant (roughly 5 miles away).
