    We've put 0.5lbs of Tannerite in a watermelon before... shot it from about 70 yards and got pelted with melon.... I'm curious how close they were? 20 lbs of Tannerite inside a stove? I wouldn't feel comfortable shooting that at all... if I HAD to, it would be from a distance of over 500 yards.

    I saw a video where they demolished a two story barn with 100 pounds of the stuff in a plastic tote. Looked like it was hit with an air to surface missile.

    Just a bunch of dumb rednecks that didn't think through the fact they were about to send shrapnel flying in every direction for a couple hundred yards. Tragic it got the innocent kid and not the idiots who thought it up. The deserve what ever they get.

    I'm so sick and tired of hearing about the innocent person getting the wrong end of the stick.

    I did the same thing with a old dryer and a half pound of tannerite. We were about 80 yards away and I was hiding behind my AR500 armour and I glad I was because it seemed like a frag went off in that dryer.

    The adults that lied about what happened should be punished at least as much as the idiot that committed the crime. Complete lack of morality.

    You guys need to go to youtube and search "tannerite close call". Perple just don't realize how powerful this stuff really is.

    Here's a few.

    Off topic but:
    Tannerite is another thing that prove that the ATF is a croc of bull s#$t. We buy something at the store, mix it, shoot it with a firearm and blow something up but we "can't" make our own. Got to love it.
