A 22 Sensitive Exploding Rifle Target Method { Proven} to work
Вставка

- I recently had some viewers comment that my method didn't work for them....This troubled me due to the absolute fact that I new my method was tried and true. So I purchased more ingredients from Pyro chemical source to see if there was a change in the ingredients.....There was no difference ....Viewers {you must purchase the exact ingredients} with no substitutes .....I have found that some powder and mesh will not work .....{note} it is a must to have {dry ammonia nitrate 34/0/0} or you will most certainly have no positive results.
I have done this many times over and it has always worked. Due to the meds I have to take, I get lots of the moisture control paks which I add to my powder bags to keep the ingredients dry.
I can't understand anyone thinking that that wouldn't work.
Oh yes, and I'm glad that you take precautions and are aware of the great danger of working with explosives. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable making it.
Good man, I didnt understand myself but you explained it as plainly as possible. Looks legit to me :)
It's obvious that it works not only from your video but you can commercially buy .22 reactive targets! I'm sure there are multiple formulas that will work! Thanks for the video.
And there's yer sign! Thanks man. Great vid
You have a nice component for a good sized bang. Why anyone would say you are trying to trick them is beyond me. This is pretty much the same way I make this and have never had an issue. My guess is that someone may have not followed simply instruction or tried to improve on something that needs no improvement. Anyway, great job and instruction video!
Hey Bud, post disclaimer
Stop worrying about people criticking you. You are awesome and thanks for showing your method. Great Job!!!
Man, why do you care what other people say? Just do your thing and let the naysayers piss off.
Yes/ I have learned that there are just some people who like to be critics .....And you cant please every persons opinion ...
Because he likes people to know the truth just like most of us. But you’re right,why care. There’s always going to be those negative folks that couldn’t wipe their own ass without video instruction.
Just made it home safely thank you for the idea it worked like a charm, thank you to the comment section for the added advice. Diaper method was used after I added the perch to AN, Mil AL 500 cheap and effective.
Howdy Kevin, great video and recipe. Works just fine for me. It could be that the viewers who were unsuccessful obtained the incorrect al powder. Most likely a spherical or spheroidal particle type as apposed to a flake. This has a huge impact on its reactivity. As (Harold Smith) mentioned 1% al would be better than 0.5% for your fuel ratio (more intimate mixture)with your oxidizer. Keep the videos coming! Good job.
A friend in flames, RICK in Pantano, AZ. yes the ghost town.
Nice one Pal Although without the Static Guard I wouldnt dare mix those two chemicals together like that!
Fellow viewers / I just found a new way to make a 22 sensitive target...FPSOutback makes a great 22 sensitive target....Looks very cool ...cant wait to try it...
I love potassium perchlorate ! It likes to be confined in little containers with a fuse as well.
I wouldn't pay no attention to the trolls on utube they are experts in all felds. Thanks for the info video!
Very welcome.....hope you enjoyed the video...
Outstanding video 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much for sharing.
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain." 😂
The fertilizer AN has a rather high moisture content. If you dry it out with some baked out epsom salt wrapped into a paper towel it will be better suited for this. Also crushing the prills to powder makes a much more sensitive version that doesnt need the chlorate at all just add aluminum powder and a little copper, iron, or lead oxide. It wont explode at all unless hit by a bullet or a fairly strong cap. Stuff into dip containers and tape to the bullseye.
I'll need to try this!
Hey Kev, I have used your method and it works great. I tried a different aluminum powder and it is much stronger than the Bright aluminum powder. I tried using the German Blackhead 5413 H Super Aluminum Powder 3 Micron and it has alot bigger report when shot and it seemed to me more sensitive so I could shoot it further away. Just wanted to share this with you since you helped me with this first.
Thank you ....I will order some of this powder .....I have found also by purchasing Mag/Alum 200 to 325 I get better results as well...
A caution if I may:
It is not recommended to mix chlorates or perchlorates with ammonium nitrate. Under the right conditions, ammonium chlorate/perchlorate can form which can spontaneously explode the whole mixture. (particularly the former, and if stored for a time) In the ten years I was involved with fireworks manufacture, I never came across any composition which involved ammonium nitrate for use in fireworks.
There is something that can be done when making a flash powder mix, and that is to add about 2% by weight of baking soda, especially if your composition contains any sulfur/sulfides. I am not sure if this would affect AN mixtures.
I'm not trying to throw a wet towel on anything, but to make it known there is a risk involved. Please be careful.
Also, in my reference material, a good flash powder mix has the same available energy as 20-30% nitro-based dynamite "by weight".(FYI)
Just found your video its awsome but how much ammonium nitrate did you use this is fantastic thanks
I believe you from the start. the ones that can't do it can't add up the proper mix.
Thanks ....
Does it have to be bright flake or will dark aluminum powder work?
So I just recently watched your video and want to make sure that I am safe at what I am doing. Do you have any advice that will help keep me safe as I mix these chemicals. Thank you for your help
My Man, please don't be concerned about the stupidity of others other than safety precautions, if you are lying, I am dying.
Thanks for a good video, great idea.
Most people don't inner stand what the hell flash powder is, and what it is not, you sir know what you are doing, and I think anyone would be hard-pressed to tell you otherwise.
If so, ask them if they have even tried to do what you just did, I would imagine that you'd get crickets from any would be cynics out there.
Nice job!!!
Thanks Allen .....You do make a great point . Thanks for the kind words ....I get my fair share of jerks from time to time so its refreshing to receive a nice comment.
Great video brother
What voleicty of ammo where you using I only was able to get it to detonate once. I used sonic boom ammonium nitrate. The size of the pellets where much small. I was using a 10/22 takedown with a 16in barrel. Cci mini mag. 1250fps pretty sure voleicty was the issue but I would like to get ur opinion. Thank you.
substitute a paper bag ( some leak powder though ) just to be safe. German Dark is quite a bit more reactive as flash. I use powdered ammonium nitrate at about half the amount or less. Extra Perchlorate ( a bit more anyway ) and a little extra German Dark Flash to the mix of nitrates. There are actually a few ways to get .22 sensitive targets. Using a harder container ( carboard) gives a much louder boom ! Carry on, your method obviously works too !
I love your method! It works great! Have you tried Sonic Boom Rimfire 22 Binary Targets. Im pretty sure they use powdered ammonium nitrate instead of prill. And 2 tablespoons of that sounds like 1lb of high velocity binary mixes. Its insanely loud for being so little. If you haven't tried it i strongly recomend you do so. Its sold at cabela's.
I will give it a try ...Thanks
Ok, you were very intricate and detailed with your recipe which is pretty spot on with others that I have heard but dude, you were really butt hurt about a few clowns that made some comments, and, who obviously can't follow instructions so, chill brother, there's always going to be a few that want to stir the pot. Have a nice day
Hey....when viewers are right ......the simple fact is there right.....so I understand completely your perspective......I was a little angry about it at the time 😕.Not so much anymore.....people are going to believe what they wish.
There is another aspect to this. I've always mixed in sulphur. The KClO4 reacts with the trace sulphuric acid to make pechloric acid. The perchloric acid is very sensitive. Throw a rock at the mixture.
This method works excellent, many times people purchase dark aluminum powder, basically aluminum flake coated with lump coal dust this keeps the aluminum flake from oxidizing fast enough, also just a hint, take your ammonium nitrate and run it thru a coffee grinder or ball and pestle, doing this will allow you to use less than half the ammonium nitrate and get the same results.
Thanks/ and your right you can certainly use less ammonia nitrate and get the same results by using a coffee grinder { Done it many times } Just some friendly advice to my fellow viewers / you may wont to consider writing this method down ....UA-cam for some reason has taken it upon there selves to take down my prier videos and place me on some bullshit strike list for three months. So it wouldn't surprise me if the selfrighteous fucktards don't try the same bullshit with other videos I have made or take down my channel entirely. What really pisses me off about all this is all I am making is a method to make exploding rifle targets 22 sensitive.........nothing more .....nothing less....{bomb making is there reason} but I ask you viewers have any of you ever seen me place any devices ?, pipes, fuses, ......Why fuck no.....And you wont .....The only thing I have ever done was use a firecracker in one video ......I mean WTF do I look like some dumb fuck who wonts to hurt or kill people? Have any of my viewers ever heard me say {Death to America} while screaming my head off in a different tongue. NO CERTAINLY THE FUCK NOT.....I LOVE THE {UNITED STATES OF AMERICA } Born and raised hear since 1982...Even have a dad who fought in North and South Korea........Pretty safe to say I am proud to be a Amercian ......Although you have to be politically correct anymore so you don't offend every sensitive asshole who might share a different opinion. Its just stupid assholes like the ones who took it upon there selves to take down my video that really piss me off .......I mean seriously .....Seriously UA-cam.....WTF.....Its a safe Flash Powder perfectly legal ....And you Self righteous Dumbasses should no that Ammonia nitrate and Aluminum powder are legal as well to make Tannerite....So please by all means explain to me where the fuck the problem really is excluding any random bullshit answer .....YOU CANT AND FUCKING KNOW IT .....Just your way of suppressing my info for fear that some random asshole may take it upon there self to make a explosive device .....News flash Dumbasses .....If these assholes are hell bent on causing destruction whats going to keep them from entering there local Walmart and purchasing Black powder or Any local gun shop and purchasing regular Gun powder ? {NOT A G#D DA%NE% thing} So I ask you Do you feel good about the suppressing of my video ? Stupid morons don't have enough since to take your selves a shit. You know in truth if it wasn't for my subscribers and viewers I really wouldn't give a f#c# and that's a fact ....I truly love the UA-cam community .....But I hate the Stupid assholes who try to suppress information .......If knowledge is power and we strive for higher academic achievement in schools as well as life then why the hell is it limited by a price. And what gives any one the right to oppress anyone due to the fact they may disagree.....After all there truly was no rational reason to take down that video... It wasn't like I was planning a massive attack and my viewers were my minions..{Honestly the few individuals involved are truly just fucking stupid}
is there a way for us to save the video ?
Not that I know of ......But other viewers may be able to give us and idea.
UA-cam seems to be undemocratic about these type videos
Sadly yes {they call it bomb making } But all it is/..... is a exploding rifle target. There is such a degree of bullshit I really don't even think they truly know why there is a problem other than the one they wont to create .
I got some 34-0-0 from the co op and aluminum powder and mix it and hit dead on and nothing but my 34-0-0 has some kind of gritty stuff on it
Some real angry chickens at the end.
Also if your going to do this at least mix the Aluminium with the AN first then the perchlorate. That way your not making flash. The perchlorate is desinsitizing the ammonal. Right now your detonating the perchlorate. You can tell from the lack of orange in the smoke. Just some friendly advice to keep you safe and you can use less aluminium mixing the correct Ammonal ratio.
Cool !
Very nice video sir ,i have potassium chlorate and dark 999 garde aluminium powder i use 70% kclo3 and 30 % aluminium powder to make fireworks bomb ,i have 12 gauge gun and i want to make 12 gauge slug sensitive exploding target will your recipe works with 12 gauge slug and i will use potassium chlorate instead of kclo4 .and i think if i add sulphur in your recipe it will become more impact sensitive. thanks
Any reason to use bright flake aluminum instead of dark pyro? I’ve always found dark pyro to be superior for flash powder and homemade exploding targets, but I’ve never made .22 sensitive targets.
Dark Pyro plus potassium chlorate can go off unexpectedly, with perchlorate its OK to use it though. Keep all 10.
😂 "And there's nothing up my sleeves..."
Wow cool
I apologize viewers I am fighting the flu....And I can only stay inside for so long...
Great job man! Sorry to hear you had idiots trying to tell you what to do. There are a LOT of stupid people out there!
WOW!
I know you said 22lr. But will it work with a pcp rifle. At about 80 yards it has roughly 25- 30 fpe 44(muzzle). Is that enough?
Hi Kevin
Was wondering if calcium ammonium nitrate can be substituted for Ammonium nitrate?
Thanks.
Yes
Would this work with a 30 grain 22 moving 10,040 ft per second?
By weight 70%potassium perchlorate, 30% Elkhart dark, 3micron. It is ball milled so the edges of the tiny flakes catch fire more easily. On a very small scale. Next get a double base gunpowder like "Titegroup by Hodgdon". It's an old formulation that is believe it or not 40% nitroglycerin. Mix the 70/30 powder with the double base gunpowder 50/50 by weight. Be careful, it is strong. I use it for some personal salutes on the 4th and new years. Don't sell illegal fireworks. People can lose hands, lose hearing for life or a dog can pick it up and have to be put down. You must have full control from beginning to boom. What I like about this mix is if it catches fire without being in a cardboard shell it just slowly burns like gunpowder. Once contained it takes off.
I just use a 70/30 mix of potassium perchlorate and 325 magnalium or bright flake and I only shoot 22 shorts at my targets and I’ve made 1000,s over the years and I’ve never had one fail to explode. My backing is a 1/2 thick by 12/12 square for my backing. Why waste extra money on ammonia nitrate when you can use just these two. I ever save my old used aluminum sheeting and grind it up and it even works just fine as long as the aluminum is fine enough.
Your mixture may be "right on the border line"; that is, it may be suboptimal, but it still generally explodes for you.
But someone else might try to duplicate it, and their aluminum powder may have more oxide on the flakes, perhaps more or less of a stearic acid coating, maybe a somewhat different particle size distribution, etc. Or maybe they tried to initiate the mixture on a day when it was cold outside, perhaps with a slightly weaker .22 cartridge, etc.
In other words, with the chemicals you got from your supplier, with your .22 rifle and your choice of ammo, etc., you've had good results, but there are variables involved here which could cause someone else to have poor results.
For an experiment, I suggest increasing the amount of aluminum powder, as it may result in a more powerful, more reliable mixture.
I will give it a try.
Let's see, your mixture is 9 grams of Al per 4 lbs of NH4NO3, so that's only about 0.5% fuel. Maybe you could try 1% (i.e., 18 grams of Al) and see what happens? You could even go up to 5% or even higher, but at some point the sensitivity will fall off, even if the mixture is more powerful.
Another way to get a more sensitive mixture (which also has a higher VoD and detonation pressure) would be to crush the ammonium nitrate prills somehow, to make it more of a powder. (But you don't want to pack the powder too tightly or it won't detonate).
Check out Table 1 in the following paper and you can see that when the AN particle size was less than 0.2 mm, the critical diameter of the mixture was only 7mm, the VoD was 3.3 km/sec and the detonation pressure was 2.8 GPa.
www.wydawnictwa.ipo.waw.pl/cejem/vol-6-1-2009/Zygmunt.pdf
Harold Smith I have a question. If I doubled or even tripled the amount of Al flake would it become reasonably more powerful?
Kevin, nice video, is nothing like blow up stuff🤪 If you blow up a bigger-one please make video. 😁😁 found your movie by coinsidence, hello from Norway 😁
If you get quality ingredients I can hereby attest to this method being extremely effective.
Could fire or a firecracker, set this off?
the ammonium nitrate I've been using is coated, will it still work with your recipe? sold as bulk rifle targets with aluminum powder. Thanks
If the ammonia nitrate is sold with rifle targets {it should } If not just purchase 34/0/0 or instant cold packs..
Does the AN have to be prill or is powder ok to use as well. Any differences between the two?
Power will work
Hey can anyone tell me if you can use ammonia nitrate that has broken down. I believe I didn't seal bag well and it collected moisture. Is it possible to dry it out some how? Thanks in advance!
molecular sieves would dry it out.they're small porous ceramic beads that absorb water. Kinda like putting your phone in a bag of rice. but it's cheaper just to buy a new batch of ammonium nitrate.
Kevin,
There are those troll type nay sayers every where, just treat them as the vermin they are and ban or block them immediately. Those of us who have used this method also KNOW it works. Those boneheads most likely could never color inside the lines or read out loud without pissing on themselves! LOL Great Vid - Have SAFE Fun!
Thanks / its refreshing to have loyal viewers such as you....That know not every man with a bag of ammonia nitrate and flash powder intends on going on a killing spree.....Dumbass liberals....I am glad you like my Method and thanks for being a respectful viewer.
Kevin i wonder if they do this in the movies?
Hey, Kevin. Some of my precision 22LR's can accurately and reliably reach several hundred yards. What kind of maximum range have you seen with your formula?
I have made shots upwards of 75 yards
@@kevinbolin7665 Thanks for the reply, Kevin. A CCI Stinger at 200 yards would be traveling at 857 FPS. Do you think it would work and if not, can a change to your formula make it more likely to work?
I believe you mixed up the #s on the bfa and the pp-hp????
Did you have to provide driver’s license to buy potassium perchlorate ?
I just want to make a couple safety suggestions. When you mix the two powders you have made a very dangerous flash powder. Static electricity can and will set flash off and 21 grams is equal to 7 old school M-80's. Don't do it. Instead mix the potassium perchlorate with the amonium nitrate first. Shake it up to coat the prills then add the aluminum powder and mix. Second there is a reason they only sell 1/2 pound 22 sensitive targets. The cap sensitivity is much lower than the high velocity and the 22 mix is very unstable. Will larger amounts blow up in your face? Probably not but you should still treat the stuff gently. I've mixed and shot tons of my own mixes over the years and mixing 22 sensitive still makes me nervous. One last thing about the aluminum powder, bright aluminum will work and it's cheaper but dark flake works much better. 12g to a pound of ammonium nitrate for high velocity and 10g with 4g of KCLO4 per pound for 22 sensitive works every time.
"very unstable" It ain't nitroglycerin bro.
Burt Reynolds No it's not NG but messing around with explosives you really don't understand isn't a good idea. The flash powder mixture he makes before adding to the AN is actually worse than NG. NG will not detonate from static electricity, 21 grams of flash will. It wouldn't just blow off a finger or two, it would remove entire limbs. That much flash doesn't need to be contained to explode.
The 22 sensitive stuff works because you have taken a relatively stable explosive and made it much less stable. I've seen videos of people hitting a pile of high velocity mix with a hammer. I have yet seen anyone do it with the 22 sensitive mix.
dnssigns very unstable? If that's what you think you've got a lot to learn the reason perchlorate is used is because of its stability you shouldn't get on here saying things that you know nothing about, that's what really does damage in our society, not static electricity
dnssigns Please. Did you really try to say flash will remove limbs? Maybe a few pounds but an m80 goes off in your hand it will burn your hand you meed your hand closed to do the damage. This is not a very high explosive. Yes it still is dangerous and yes its explosive but saying Flash is more dangerous than NG is laughable. Just mixing NG and you can go boom. Thats high velocity detonation.
SmithN' Wesson youve never seen an m80 then. If one goes off in your hand, most of your hand will be gone from a true m80. The point he was trying to get across is add the potassium perchlorate to the ammonium nitrate and mix that first then when ready to shoot add the aluminum powder and mix that in. Doing it that way is less likely to explode from discharged static electricity and what he is stating is very intelligent. Contained flash powder even 2 grams is dangerous. And to say other is idiotic and ignorant
What anti static spray are you using?
Static can ignite that shit.
Can you help find some thing that would work for an air rifle. I've seen the firebird targets for air rifles and that's a little to much. I just want a nice flash and puff of smoke. Not really a bang, potassium perchlorate with red phosphorus but red phosphorus is hard to order online. Any suggestions.
Aluminium powder and copper oxide thermite will explode the way you want. I think Backyard Ballistics did a video on making targets that way.
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 thx , I'll check it out.
If you buy exactly what he told you to buy, then youll be on a list
Not sure how long you've had the explosive AN...but I'm sure people's problems are because you can't buy explosive AN at local feed store anymore they changed the rules of purchase after Oklahoma incident. Only a licensed blaster has access to that.
Look like you took an etch a sketch apart for the flash powder lol
what about a 22pistol ?
I got ammonium nitrate from instant cold packs.
Yes /I to do as well ....sometimes ....If I cant find it in bulk ....{winter} mostly......But be warned fellow viewers as I know my friend schel sullivan already knows .....Never give away your source ///and never ever have it in large amounts in your possession with other ingredients used to make any exploding targets ...{I really wouldn't wont to press my luck} .....So if you do purchase big bulks .....keep it on a friends farm who would be expected to have it ...Because in all honesty I don't think there are very many farmers who would live in big citys. LOL....But seriously never keep large amounts in your possession as you could become a target ...That's honestly why I don't just because I post the videos I have and If for some reason some prick with a power trip wonted to make a example out of me .....well lets just say happy hunting ....they wouldn't find jack didlie shit in my possession. Note in my state its not illegal to make Tanner...or exploding rifle targets but don't press your luck being to open about the amount of ingredients you have access to.
Due to unsavory people using ammonium nitrate for bad terrorist stuff, most cold packs are no longer pure ammonium nitrate anymore, they are Calcium Ammonium Nitrate and will not sensitize like in this video. I suspect the reason Kevin has had a lot of skeptics to his recipe is because they're using Calcium Ammonium Nitrate instead of AN and they don't know it and then it doesn't work. You can thank the government for keeping us "safe" from having fun.
What would happen if you use kno3 in the mix?
give it a shot and find out. we didn't always have chemistry teachers to hold us by the hand my friend. just start small and work your way up gradually. no need to visit the ER because you got alittle heavy handed with our measurements
Since every one have a dig at everyone else can i just say one thing ok may be a couple of things one is you should never try proving a point it dont help doughters wont agree lmao . Two you should wear eye protection them bugs hurt flying in to your face and great video . Yea thats it . And one more thing safty at work is causing more injury's fact. Instead of concentrating on staying safe they think there safty gear will protect them . Have a nice day
Good lord you are a third-grade grammar teacher's worst nightmare. Yea let's listen to the guy who doesn't even know his native language!
Question..Is Ammonium Nitrate targets as powerful as ANFO or is an ANFO detonation much stronger? Can a AN target explosion set off ANFO?
Well ANFO is ammonium nitrate and fuel oil, Im assuming the targets your talking about are something like tannerite. Targets like that are ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder, called Ammonal, so there pretty much the same thing.
@@adamtyler6746 "pretty much the same thing"
NO. BAD.
They have nearly identical detonation velocity's there. The difference is not huge.
I would like to know what the full recipe is i believe it works 😀
21 grams of Potassium Perchlorate {HP}High purity and 9 grams of bright flake alum powder 200 to 325 mesh ….Note you will have even better results if you purchase alum / mag powder that is 200 to 325 mesh . The mix should be added to 5 pounds of 34/0/0 of ammonia nitrate . It is recommended that you use caution when mixing the mixture with the ammonia nitrate …...avoid any static , sparks, or open flames....I personally only use 2 teaspoons of mix with a pound of ammonia nitrate at any given time . And for your safety and others that are in the vicinity do not ever use near metal …...This method works and will kill anyone whom is careless . However if common sense is used this method can be very fun and sure to put smiles on any ones face.
@@kevinbolin7665 thanks for replying back I appreciate that now I got the recipe I think hey hand static bracelet would come in handy and they also make a static mat so I didn't know if you knowed all that
May god be with you. Holy shit that’s dangerous
So 21 grams of the other stuff and 9 grams of aluminum?
Kevin , you dont have to proof anything to any one. I'd say its a job and explantion done well. Aa far as i'm concern, if someone is to stupid to establish safety borders, they shouldnt be playing with stuff or suffer the results.👍❗
do you really even need the ammonium nitrate wouldn't the flash work on its own
It would, but you get a lot more bang for your buck (literally) by using ammonium nitrate.
Dude. I get it. U r telling us the truth. Delete 15 minutes of telling us this and just mix the shit up. 2 minutes, tops.
You switched the bags when you were distracting us with the camera pivot!
JK. I don't know why people are thinking you are lying
How long will it keep in the hefty bag?
For a while in honesty / But its not ideal ....
What type of Ammonia Nitrate R U using? I have tried 34/0/0 & it didn’t work worth spit. I find 44/0/0 works great...
I use 34/0/0 with potassium perchlorate and Bright flake alum powder 200 to 325 mesh ....Mag alum 200 to325 works even better.
Bla, bla, bla, hurry up
a couple things. Do you Not use any Mag/Al Powder in this mix? I just watched the vid again and it shows you use the Bright Flake 325mesh Aluminum Powder. is That it? No Mag/Al Powder at all? Also, you mention 21g of the Potassium PerChlorate (and put in 2 spoonfuls *even attempting to take back a tiny bit) then you say u need 9g of Aluminum Powder and proceed to put in nearly 6 spoonfuls... ?? WTF ? am i missing something? Is the Potassium PerChlorate weigh a BUTT TON More than the AL Powder? Because 21g is more than Double 9g and yet 2 spoonfuls / 6 spoonfuls ??? It just jumped out at me that something didnt seem right. im sure there is a reason just thought id ask. Also, thx so much for the vid . and all of you time spent in answering all other questions. You have been of great assistance and seem like a good guy. I can't wait to get out there and try some out.
Yes it would seem like I am adding a lot of alum bright flake but I assure you the 6 teaspoons seen did make 9 grams in total and yes the potassium perchlorate by weight{ spoon} can add up very quickly to 21 grams ....The reason you didn't see mag/alum is because when I did this video I didn't have any at the time. but it works very well also just remember to add 9 grams of it rather than 9 grams of the bright flake 200 to 325 mesh.. Keep in mind that the alum is flake and very light in volume were the potassium perchlorate is not as fluffy and its weight can often be achieved very quickly .
AL is very light and fluffy.
Scott Richardson Diffrent weights. Its by weight not volume hence the scale. 2 ta le spoons of one does not equal 2 table spoons of the other.
@11:08 when you tried to fold the bag,and missed, made me laugh soo hard!
Thanks for the info. No offense. But for the weight, nothing was better than the Goliath brand of Tannerite.
1 bag the size of a golf ball was the same as 1/2 lb of regular tannerite.
Kevin: if that bag of 30 grams of flashpowder goes off in your hands, a tornado strength wind hot as a welding torch will blow through your fingers. Your eyes are at risk and your ears too because over an ounce of flashpowder is selfconfining. Please diaper method it. If the finished product had gone off in your hands, both your hands would have been meat loaf and you would possibly have been killed. Please be more careful and promote the techniques the fireworks industry use. If you won't, please wear workman's gloves, eye and ear protection. Moreover, wear a mouth mask, because aluminum dust of that fine a mesh is fine particulate dust that you invisibly inhale an will clog the most delicate parts of your lungs, causing respiratory impairment, worse than smoking!
We're both mature adults, and i respect you enough to take the effort to type this out to urge you to more caution as to the hazardous materials you work with.
The best targets for .22 were called kickass targets. Too bad they're no longer around.
I find cabelas shooting star 22 targets to be superior
Rough man operation . Kinda like a brain surgeon operating in a cellar with a jack knife and a spittoon with rainwater for cleansing . 😄
Your entitled to your opinion ....but results are results....and this method works as you can clearly see.
The naysayers probably have a hard time making Kool aid. And probably shouldn't be making this stuff anyway. Lol
True/ what is even sadder is the bullshit youtube likes to say in regards to a video like this . They seem to think you will be making a bomb ....{dumbasses }......I mean are you fucking serious ....I would like for them to provide me with one good reason other than just projecting there typical bullshit reasons . I mean seriously where is the detonator ? where is the fuse? {Are they really that damned stupid ?} Shooting targets under different names are sold threw Ebay as well as Amazon .So I mean really WTF UA-cam ? Policy my ass .
Can you use potasium clorate?
If you add sulphur
Who the hell ever said it wouldn't work?
Can the flash powder be used to make primers?
Ted I would like to answer your question / sadly i just cant because there are just to many assholes committed to making examples out of people like me .....You know the typical bullshit .....Bomb making .....Its just not worth becoming a target . However i cant say yes or no { it is flash powder } so if your committed {be safe }.....be very ....very ....safe .....Enough said .
@@kevinbolin7665 Thank you ever so much. I am just trying to put some primers together because of the shortage. I thank you for your video! I am just trying to have a little back yard fun. Forget the people out there that think they know it all. This world is in a very difficult time. Again thank you. I will continue to research.
just use flash power , used in m-80 just as good
what state are you in. I can't get it from my feed stores
Kentucky / And yes you can purchase ammonia nitrate from some of our local feed stores ...In our county most feed stores are adjacent or even combined with fertilizer companies.
My local one refuses to stock it because they require an armed guard 24/7.
They will drop ship it by the ton but I can't store a ton.
That's truly sad ....Its crazy how each state has there own ways of dealing with Ammonia nitrate....Come to think of it I have had others tell me the same thing ...I mean don't get me wrong ....I understand why......Just in all honesty WHY....respectfully if a person is crazy enough to harm another/ than by keeping the ammonia nitrate from them you actually force these crazy fools to explore even more violent methods. And further educate them on other means of destruction or despair. IT is human nature to diversify and over come problems. Common since should tell the forces that be this .....Truly sad ......I feel for you friend . I would like to recommend Amazon as a source .....Although they can be quite expensive.
Have you seen White Lightning Exploding Rimfire Targets it looks like 2 different powders with no ammonium could . What could they have used
@@SeanTHirsch That has more to do with people making meth. Shake and bake meth production needs AN.
What would happen if it would blow up in your hands when u r mixing it
Well I guess that really wouldn't be a great day {for anyone assuming they lived }but rest assured this practice though in its self can be dangerous ....Using common since would protect most .....This video was only used to educate nothing more or less...If A person was to hurt there selves or others due to there own stupidity then I sure wouldn't wont to be blamed for it . So as common practice I encourage caution ......although I personally never had a issue {shit can happen } so.............in short the method works and I have made it for years with no problems at all .
You get a boo boo then get momma to kiss it. All good to go!
flash will not blow up if not confined, that's why it's called flash powder; it was used before the invention of flashbulbs to take photographs in low light. it might burn your hand...
If you are talking about Potassium Perchlorate and Aluminum Powder mixture you are absolutely wrong. A pile of it on the ground will explode.
8:48, good stuff
Ty Buckley you are awesome....lol
What’s the gimmick?
Does it work with 9mm?
Yes.
your basically making flash powder...right? Most chem companies will not let you order both of those chems together as ive read that on most chem sites...but good video
@@ryanzanow8221 SO WHATS YOUR POINT LOL? I ASKED IS THAT FLASH POWDER IN MY QUESTION I DONT CARE IF YOUR A PRO OR NOT
No gimmicks here guys..no gimmicks here guys...no gimmicks here guys... okay, okay, okay
Does spilling the chemical on the scale help with the final product?
Yes it allows for such a instance to become counter intuitive ......Glad you asked
you definitely want to ingest as much of that aluminum powder as possible by blowing it off a couple inches from your face, too
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can we get the recipe written down. Products and amount for each?
james headrick 21 Grams Potasium Perchlorate 9 Grams Aluminum Powder and 4 Lbs Ammonium Nitrate
SmithN' Wesson Hey ya. For the aluminum powder which one is better? The bright flake, or the regular powder? I also seen where someone said to use the dark or black aluminum powder. I have the plain aluminum powder for the high velocity targets, will that work for the more sensitive .22 targets? Thanks. email me back at, ColoradoHermit@gmail.com
ColoradoHermit Dark Alluminum Flake works best 400 to 600 mesh.
i have read that using Three times the Ammount of Aluminum Powder when mixing with your Ammonium Nitrate that it will make the mixture 22 sensitive. I found an PDF from ATF that analyzed the ingredients in all diff mfg of Binary Targets. And Every MFG that offered a 22 sensitive Mixture the ATF Claimed that only difference was 3 Times the Aluminum Powder used in the 22 sensitive mix. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone Have a Receipe for Binary Target that uses "Potassium Chlorate" to make Stronger or more Sensitive? (As I do have quite a bit of Potassium Chlorate around)... thx in advance.
No/ by adding more aluminum all you will get is a lot of smoke ....It wont make it 22 sensitive....I cant provide you with a recipe using Potassium chlorate ... But I can assure you by mixing 21 grams of potassium perchlorate to 9 grams of bright flake 200 to 325 you will achieve making a 22 sensitive mix that once added to 4 to 5 pounds of ammonia nitrate will leave you with a smile .
u add the 21g/9g - Pot PerChlor/Al Powder mix to 4/5 lbs AN? Or add it to an AN/AL Powder Mix (already mixed as to Tannerite Specs?) and if Not added to a AN/AL Tannerite (Isn't that little AL *9g* far too little for 4 or 5 lb of AN?)
also google search for a PDF ATF Tannerite. (Click on link for "Chemical Analysis of Exploding Targets" That is where I found the details i mentioned re: 3x AL for 22 sensitive mixtures from several diff mfg. let me kno what u think.
Sure...
No / in truth one teaspoon of the mix per pound will work ...often I just mix up enough for 4 to 5 pounds as I like to shoot more than one target.. just add the mix as I show in my videos...I made several showing on my method of how to make a 22 sensitive exploding rifle target . But I will tell you of a even better method than mine 78 grams of ammonium nitrate 12.5 grams of mag/alum 200 to 325 mesh and 9.5 grams of potassium perchlorate ....Craig someguy has discovered a method that is even better than mine .
