What could I put inside of those hollow 20mm HE projectiles and not run afoul of NFA.
Talcum powder aluminum powder dye Thoughts? Would they even fracture/crush or just penetrate? http://www.cdvs.us/20mm-Vulcan-Saphe-gln-yellowred-projectile-10-projectile-pack-P635.aspx |

<1/4 oz of IM-11 to keep under the DD threshold
50-50 mix of Magnalium Powder and Barium Nitrate. Magnesium or possibly aluminum powder could probably be substituted for the Magnalium with similar results. It should give a nice flash and pop on impact. For comparison a 50 cal M8 API round contains 0.025 oz of IM-11 so you should be able to still make a good pop/flash will remaining a non DD. |

Wouldn't the force of the round being shot cause it to explode in the chamber/barrel? I could be wrong, im far from an explosives expert. |

No that mix has been launched in bullets for close to 100 years. To be belt and suspenders safe though it should be compressed so it does not move around inside the projectile. |
