The place for general talk about gun, shooting, loading, camping, survival, and preparedness related tools and gear, as well as gear technology discussion, gear reviews, and gear specific "range reports" (all other types of gear should be on the back porch).
I've been watching the FaceBook posts by FPS Russia (OFFICIAL) (FaceBook), and a few of his latest posts include a link to makers of products like Tannerite, but don't require the same velocity of impact to react/explode. Here's a direct link to one of their low-velocity products, which can be set off with high-velocity pellet guns (supposedly):
I'm probably going to get some before those who demand: "Mother May I?" permission before they invoke such new determinations for these products. These appear to be GREAT for things like New Year's, and July 4th celebrations - just hit them with your local high-speed pellet gun and get a Tannerite-type BOOM!!
Sounds like a DAMNED GOOD plan to me!!!

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
waiting for the product review on this product and pricing information.
Sounds FUN.

SureShot makes ones that can be set off by a .22, probably a similar mix. SureShot states that their rimfire targets are sensitive to fire, unlike the centerfire model, which may be a concern for these as well...or a bonus.

The SureShot targets we put on target stands at Rumpshot's Revenge are the ones which started fires we had to put out. Tannerite didn't have the same problem. If the product is the same fineness of grind, it might also have the same fire hazard as the SureShot targets we used and started fires with.

We used a Tannerite variant this year that was .22 sensitive. Again it was a fine powder like the sure shot, but did not have a tendancy to start a fire.
Workin, I do believe it is legal in PRK, but don't know for sure and would definitely check closer. Also would probably get the wrath of certain law officers if they were feeling their oats.

Mike, you know if those binaries are legal for use in the DPRK?
From some of the stuff I've read, I believe they're legal as long as they're used as intended. You can't transport the components after they've been mixed, 'cause once mixed, they are explosive and illegal to transport unless you have the appropriate permits and licenses. AFAIK, the folks at Tannerite have or had posted some legal opinions regarding the product's legality. IIRC, part of their point is that many household chemicals can also be combined to make explosives (which is true), so possession and use of the binaries alone do not constitute prosecutable explosives.
YMMV - this is not legal advice and is worth about as much as you paid for it, yadda, yadda, yadda.............

Watch for your subpoena in the mail.
And may I say, from a moral point of view, I think there can be no justification for shoving snack cakes up your action.
