Going out this weekend to do a little gun related venting... when shit sucks in life nothing more satisfying then blowing shit up.

So to the point going out this weekend taking the 44, 45, 30-06, 280, a couple shot guns with some homemade shells, a few other home made devices that go bang, and of course the 6lb parrot cannon, and a homemade golf ball cannon modeled after my parrot cannon. So far I got a few monitors to destroy but was looking for some good ideas...

current targets:
Monitors
10 cans of hair spray and a road flare


Love to hear some good ideas for cheap targets or thing you could find easily like dead tvs

the guy in my area thats licensed to sell full auto stuff also sells an explosive product thats triggered when hit by a round. I've never purchased this product but I definitely will get more information and share it. I've been promising the girlfriend that I would take her out for a day of shooting and I gotta make that happen before it gets any colder. thanks for the reminder brother and sorry I don't have any better ideas.

Not to promote any kids doing this but yea I've made tannerite before out of cold packs and aluminum dust, sadly I didn't think far enough ahead to order more aluminum dust. So my ghetto version is pop a road flare and shoot hair spray and propane tanks near it.

Advertise on Craigslist that you haul junk cars and drag one out there and blow it to fucking pieces!!!

Might not happen by the weekend but shit if it rolls for 60 bucks or so you can rent a truck if you don't have one and your set.

Last time we did a car it was such a huge mess... made pipe bomb out of a 20oz co2 tank and set it off in it. What was left was quickly shredded by 6lb cannon balls. Took hours to clean up.

I would like to add a few items myself..love to shoot was taught at an early age by my father (rip) and uncle who was a Vietnam vet, as well as my grandfather..learned to respect a weapon and it isn't a toy, I remember shooting a can of pork and beans on a stick with my dad's .22 when I was around 7, I'm thankful to be educated in this area, not an expert by any means. But have good solid basic knowledge, helped get my ccw, didn't have to go through a basic course first...damn sorry I'm babbling again ignore my old war stories.

Yes they do. It was nice being able to walk across the street and pick up the parts I needed. Wife couldn't stand the constant shooting. They have a small range behind there shop. Some days they would have some really wicked full auto stuff.

Decided I'm going to have some kick ass pictures for you guys come Monday. I spent all last night opening up bird shot to make homemade wax slugs from tea candle and homemade fletching rounds from mini brads. So far we are shooting monitors, potatoes, aerosol can With road flames by them, few 1gallon jugs, and a 120cubic foot oxygen tank. And what ever else i can think of between now and sunday.

Larue is top of the line I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I had the cash laying around. They aren't cheap but you get what you pay for.

Any idea on $? I'm also seeing conflicting info rifle if it will fire .308 ammo do you know one way or another, again I'm no expert. Also how much of a difference is there between the 2? .308 vs 7.62x51

I feel like be told me he paid somewhere around 3000-3300 for his 7.62x51 obr. I've put both .308 and 7.62x51 surplus ammo. No problems out of it.

I have seen people say differen things in terms of that though.

BigMike, IDK if this will work real well or not but give it a shot and report back plz.
Get a few empty plastic gallon milk jugs. Then put roughly 1-2 tablespoons of gas in each one. Tell me what happens when you shoot (and hit) these.
I am thinking should be a nice little flame cloud out of it.
Oh yeah shake them up real good when you set them up. Wanna get that gas to vaproize as much as easily possible.

I'm a total Pyro it won't light up w/o a decent flame which is why I pop road flares by my hair spray and propane cans when I shoot the.

Another note I got a life size zombie at the Halloween store to shoot for lolz
