Razor sharp fragments of metal flying around at 10, feet per second….. Yes, the bullet continues to travel after hitting the tannerite, how far it travels depends on the bullet size and shape, the velocity and what was in front of the tannerite before it was shot. Tannerite and other binary explosives are fun and safe if used properly. I just received 24 lbs of Tannerite which will be used on my personal yard Range so I have full control of how it will be used.
Just why? There is no purpose to this stuff other than drawing attention to yourself and annoying anyone living within a mile of you. Find another way to tell if you hit the target. Take a walk. Gee terry i dont know whether you noticed or not but the high powered rifle used to shoot the tannerite is kinda loud too. So heres a suggestion for you. Dont go near the big boomie noises and let the folks have thier fun.
There is no mention in this article of the hygroscopic properties of tannerite. This happens because the mixed chemicals absorb any available water which slowly begins a chemical and eventually can even self ignite. Unfortunately Tannerite is misused by so many that it will probably get banned or regulated.
A shooter terrorizes my neighborhood with this stuff. I have to sedate my pets when he starts up. Your email address will not be published. Shooting is fun. The fire is still burning.

Large Dallas County explosion caused by teens using Tannerite while target shooting, officials say. Yet, there is more regulation on over-the-counter decongestants, than that provided for either of these reagents.
As Scientists, should we advise the authorities to restrict these precursors? John Wrobleski September 22, AM. As a scientist I'll repeat, banning inanimate objects is stupid and never has worked, other than to harass law abiding people.
For example, I use acetone by the gallon working with fiberglass in my auto body hobby. It's today's ignorant and short sighted government morons that have created the risks we face. Thankfully, many States have reversed draconian anti gun laws and many now have the right to defend themselves and this nation against the acts of deviants. Political correctness continues to protect violent criminals, often putting them back on the streets after arrests.
Police often know who the bad guys are, where they are and what they're doing yet spend more time fleecing the general working public for auxiliary revenue. The government should spend more time on Constitutional national security directives and forget about regulating the private lives of law abiding citizens. Chemwatch September 23, AM. In the name of - but not actually for - protecting the so-called "private lives of law-abiding citizens", John Wrobleski has wrongly accused the gun-cotrol lobbies, existing regulations, political correctness, and the much-hated government to make his arguments against regulating certain chemicals thereby missing the main point.
Such accusations are nothing new, and are the recycled stuffs that have been used by demagogues in the past, and being used more forecefully in recent months.
Such distorted and biased views do not solve any problem, rather make the situation worse, particularly in this political climate. Richard Taylor September 24, PM. As a scientist and a Christian, I agree with John Wrobleski, inanimate objects are not the problem. The problem lies with evil in the hearts and minds of people.
God gave us two great commandments. The first was to love Him. The second was to love your neighbor as yourself. I believe prayer is far more effective as a rule then inanimate object control. And when properly applied directly addresses the fundamental problem.
September 22, PM. As a follow-up to my comment about the public availability of complete sets of precursors to high explosive syntheses, I direct you to the incredible abundance of Youtube videos demonstrating how to synthesize Triacetone Peroxide from these common precursors. Shamelessly paraphrasing Chemiker's comments above, the ACS should be at the front of lobbying our elected representatives into restricting these precursors.
Are we going to wait until a Brussels-level disaster happens on our soil, before we take similar action? Do we suggest we limit the sale of rubbing alcohol as well? Maybe it would be sensible to limit the sale of large volumes of chemical precursors to dangerous weapons, but you don't need much to make a small explosive. I can't imagine this would be an effective way to make the public safer.
Regardless, with the lax gun laws in the US, it is much more common that one will die in an all too common mass shooting than from an explosive. Smith November 24, PM. I guess we should start banning urination because of the potential to make explosives from urine? Joe Hughey, you should embrace and promote the moral fiber that was generated during the biblical era if you want the world to be a better place.
Banning things is child's play. Believing in and promoting a greater good is "manning up" for the next generation. However, when large amounts of the chemicals are combined, the results can create a powerful and dangerous explosion.
In January of in Busti, NY, a group of friends target shooting in the woods intentionally exploded 18 pounds of Tanner- ite. The explosion rattled neighbors and was heard miles away.
Fortu- nately, no one was injured.
