Multi-part question here....
1) anyone have any bad experiences with this as far as law enforcement goes? 2) is there an amount that could be considered reckless or "dangerous"? Buddy of mine has a car he wants to get rid of. He'd rather forgo the $1000 he can make on it by blowing it up with tannerite. 3) is this illegal? 4) anyone have any property they'd be willing to volunteer for this? |

1) Nope, but it's polite to give your local agency a notification call if you plan to set off large amounts so there's no mystery when the libs and whiny folks call them about "terror bomb explosion sounds" or whatever. Saves their time and yours. 2) Tannerite is an explosive and is inherently dangerous, but as long as you're clearing dry foliage and have good standoff to protect you, others and property from fragments you're good. 50lb and 100lb blasts can set off seismic sensors at power plants depending on your proximity to them, so see the suggestion above. 3) As long as the car is titled in his name and no fragments leave your property then no, it is legal to destroy your own vehicle. 4) Maybe check around with folks who own gravel pits? Those would be the safest area to make a car into confetti. Note: Remember to take a video (HD please, too many potatocam videos on youtube) and pics when you do find a place! |

I believe tannerite is a non flammable explosive provided you don't add an accellerent or incendiary to it. Check out the tannerite website for questions regarding safety and use. There is also a link from their main page regarding fbi guidelines regarding "intent". |
