Aqua net? Ever use Starting fluid? Not as explosive as gunpowder but better than Aqua net. How do I know that?

1. You stood too close to a potato gun and your 80's style big hair caught fire.
2. You were spraying your hair with aquanet near someone firing a potate gun.
3. You lit a match while your 80' style big hair was still wet with Aqua Net and the explosion sent you, the gun, and the potatoe into the air.

The gunpowder from one pack of firecrackers is enough to blow a cast iron water meter lid 10' vertical.
I learned that at 12 years old.
Don't ask what it did to the meter.

Just wait, John Kerry will call for an outright ban, or at least a waiting period or background checks.

I shouldn't admit this, but a bunch of us 'adults' were cheering on supervising a half dozen 12 year old boys putting firecrackers in beer cans last night.
Was fun until they put a firecracker in a full can.....

Many years ago, I observed an enterprising young man who had cut the tops and bottoms off of about 5 soda cans. He duct taped them togetehr end-to-end, and duct taped an empty but otherwise unmodfified can on the bottom. He punched a hole in the bottom, dropped a tennis ball into the top, shot lighter fluid into the bottom can and lit the hole.
The ball went about 50 yards. My across-the-street neighbor happened to be out in his front yard mowing the lawn on his rider mower, oblivious to all this. I didn't like him. I offered the young man $5.00 (this is back in ~1972) to see if he could get him.
The kid found the range in 3 shots. It was worth every penny.

That's pretty good.
Best we did was shoot marker caps through EMT pipe [conduit] with 'lady fingers' (mini-firecrackers).
