Go buy your tannerite now, folks while supplies last.

Regardless, more from the “religion of peace.” What we needs is a few thousand more undocumented refugees from Syria, right Hillary?

[DBrow]

Buy prilled AN and get Al dust separately.

I would have no idea where to get any.

I remember in the late 40s or early 50s, my Father would blow stumps with I think a quarter stick of dynamite. I wonder where he got it?

He was a combat engineer in WWII and I can remember his talking about their using TNT and how it was very safe. Maybe that qualified him to purchase dynamite.

[Paradox]

Definitely a strange one, I am not convinced who this is or why..

[Husker24]

It was fun while it lasted.

Tannerite usually has to be struck by a rifle bullet to detonate. It has to be mixed first. Did someone shoot the the Tannerite or was it added to another explosive with the intent to provide extra power? It is sold in the local gun shops for use at an outdoor range. I've seen it detonated on Youtube videos, but I've never been interested in taking it to my own range. We have so much wind in my local area that shooting at the outdoor range just isn't much fun.

Doesn't tannerite need a high velocity impact to detonate? I guess it could be added to a pipe bomb to give it more power. Seems kind of strange that they would find traces of ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder and then just conclude it was a tannerite bomb.

As far as blowing out stumps with a quarter stick of dynamite, my dad talked about that too. You could get dynamite in hardware stores back then. ‘Back then’ meaning pre-WWII.

Back in those years you could buy dynamite at local hardware or farm supplys no questions asked.
Well, here in Texas you could. We always had some here at our ranch.

California will be 1st to ban it I’ll bet.

My grandfather was a shot charge in a PA coalmine, responsible for setting the charges to blast the seams of coal. He kept a crate of dynamite at the house which he bought at the company store and helped local farmers and property owners clear stumps.

Not allowed at our gun club range.

Yep...I knew this was eventually going to happen and a ban would follow...just didn’t expect it soon.

United Chemical sells the base ingredients in 50lbs lots

I doubt the Tannerite residue. Doesn’t make much sense.

[Mjreagan]

It does, this might not have been a purely Tannerite explosion. However, I’ve read that blasting caps will also set it off.

[Mjreagan]

I could see someone using Tannerite as the source for ammonium nitrate
