Dry Ice + a Shot of .50 BMG
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 6/19/2017 | C Bolton

Dry ice + a shot from a .50 BMG = mind blowing experience. I have always heard the term dry ice, but quite frankly have no clue what it is made of, where it comes from, or even what its main purposes are. Nor have I ever seen any dry ice.

You may know all these things and think I am a very uninformed and unintelligent human, but I don’t care. So, when I came across this video, I was intrigued of what the result would be if you shot a huge block of dry ice (a foot and half) with a .50 BMG. See the dry ice vs 50 cal here, you won't be disappointed.

Ignorance is getting harder to keep claiming these days.

I'm reminded of a Big Bang Theory episode where Howard was performing some magic tricks at a children's birthday party. When Howard was about to pour a pitcher of milk into a paper funnel stuck in his pants, some child holds up his smartphone and says, "Look, I googled it. It's a fake pitcher."

Last December my 6-year-old grandson (who was playing video games on a smartphone when he was two) told me what Nerf weapon he wanted for Christmas because he had seen other kids' reviews of it on YouTube.

This is quite interesting. Maybe this could be a firefighting idea in the making, using small airbag explosive charge to spread a cloud of CO2 in case of fire or lob dry ice from fire trucks.

Maybe we could freeze all the CO2 thereby eliminating globul warming

All those CO2 ice fragments exploding into the ambient air while “melting” looks like a white phosphorous grenade exploding.
