12lbs of Tannerite (can have up to 50lbs per charge where I live)
YouTube - Geo Metro vs. Tannerite.
Figured I'd share this with some other hobbyist: Tannerite, it's just ammonium nitrate(Fertilizer), and Aluminum Powder mixed together.
Of course if you dont have the means to make it (Crapper Blender, Ball Mill, Aluminum foil, and 34-0-0 nitrate fertilizer.) This website sells it: Tannerite
YouTube - Tannerite Official Instructional Video
Home-Making it:
Grind up the fertilizer prills, store it in an air tight container(It likes to absorb moisture from the air)
Rip the foil into small pieces, grind in blender until it's coarse powder, then put that in the ball mill, and let it run until it turns into fine powder.(Run it for a long time probably 24hours) (Careful not to breathe it in.)
Every 1/2 pound of fertilizer you put 1 tbsp of aluminum powder.
All it takes to detonate it: extreme force; a "high powered" rifle round(2,200+ FPS) will make it go kabloom! So it's near impossible to accidently detonate.
Legalities:
Non Flammable
Legal in all 50 states
No ATF BS - They actually testified in court it's not illegal, and not an explosive by law because it's purpose is for shooting, and it's binary(2 ingredients)
No more than 50lb charges*Usually - (Check your states maximum black powder limit)
Cannot transport Tannerite, so just mix AN, and AL Powder, when, and where you want to use it.
I'll be getting a ball mill sometime in the future, and I'll throw some videos up or something. If you decide to make/buy some, be safe, and stay far far away from it when you shoot it.
