This came up in a discussion about firearms with someone I know who works at a gun store.
Fun weekend. We went out to the ranch with a bunch of other heathens and had a fuckton of fun with dozens of firearms, and a few lbs of Tannerite. Which, it should be noted, a full pound of is probably too much to put into a target at 40 yards (ahem, looking at you, Fox).
If you’re a shooter, but have never played around with Tannerite, you might want to look into it. Fun stuff. Goes off with an earth-shaking kaboom, when yo do something silly like put a full pound of it into a target and hit it at 40 yards with an AR-15.
EDIT: SOrry about the comments section downtime. Stupid PHP call error.
Yea, and you shouldn’t put a pound of it in a pumpkin and let kids shoot it either 😉 http://youtu.be/bQBECYQJWEY But much fun was had that day.
I had a comment earlier that was wise and helpful. Now the comment is lost to the vortex that was my mental state.
QUIT LAUGHING! It was the perfect comment. Full of win and all that….
Tribute song?

Aaand, demand letter from Hasbro in five, four, three….

Considering the size of the Autobots themselves, wouldn’t Autobot pistol ammo count as destructive devices?
Doesn’t matter for the Decepticons; since they’re the bad guys they ain’t filling out BATFELETTERSALAD forms anyways.
You’ve been waiting your whole life to drop Optimus Prime into a story, haven’t you? 😀
I’d think Autobots would been looking batteries for energy weapons; considering the rate at which they fire (and miss horrifically), they’d need a convoy of ammo haulers to keep up with their rate of expenditure using solid shot.
Never played with Tannerite; is it as much fun as being behind the grips of a 20mm Oerlikon?
Also: For pure fun (without the terminal explosion), may I suggest a Cobray .410/.45 ‘knuckle-buster’ derringer? True, it’s rude, crude, and primitive, but it’s all the more fun for that – Don’t bother with the sights, they’re merely a general guide at best. Don’t worry about finesse – Just wrap yer mitts (completely!) around that grip, look down the topline of the barrel, and open fire!
The knuckle-buster is the most fun I’ve had firing a weapon in a long time, and the only firearm which (aside from going full-tilt-boogie with an auto-gun) has made me laugh out loud when firing it. *Incredibly* satisfying! 🙂 *Especially* when the entire firing line steps back and look over to see what just happened. 😀
No kidding,my local gun shop up the road has a .45-70G derringer..the owner and I looked it over..and for the price,a Remmy 870 with Brenneke slugs would be more effective…
You had me at “binary explosive”. <3!
Lol, you want fun, shoot an Alaskan survivoer .45-70 derringer.
I’ve had people in the range bay room next to the one I was shooting in come running as they thought something had blown up.

Need to find me someone who owns one… 😀
Please don’t think I’m a buzzkill, there’s a PALLET of tannerite stored at the place I’m writing this.
Tannerite is good fun- And a GREAT way for the “hard of thinking” among us to leave the planet while providing a good story to tell at their wakes.

Good advice.
The ONLY things we have EVER put Tannerite inside of are clothing and a phone book. Any hard target will be turned into, well, SHRAPNEL.
That loon who does FPS Russia vids nearly ate a hunk of sheet metal the size of a dinner tray because he was stupid with Tannerite.
Oh god, I haven’t seen that one. Got a link?
Meh. Ammo shortage is officially dying. Picked up 2K of .22 LR at WallyWorld today for ca. 4.7¢/rd. Same boxes were selling at the gun show for 17¢ ea. Time to start impaling price gougers on stakes carved from their ammo pallets.
Sadly, Autobot ammo is still unobtanium, it’d be a total orgasmic thrill to pop a few 5.5″ rounds through a select set of neighbor’s windows.
I have it on high authority that a pound of Tannerite will reduce 120 eggs into dust and spray in the blink of an eye.
Sounds like someone wanted scrambled eggs NOW!
Thank you for drawing the *real* Optimus, and not the Michael Bay insult.
