Halloween fire works
« on: November 28, 2010, 07:19:45 PM »
Did a test today of a cartridge and thought I would share it with you.

This is 200 grains Fg in a foil cartridge for my one inch cannon.

I put a fuse in the top and lit.

Click to see video.  Link below for thos who can't open the video.

Here are five frames spaced 1/30 of a second apart.












This kind of emphasizes the warning: HANDLE WITH CARE!

 DD, Why didn't you show the video of your other experiment? You know, the one before the Wife kicked you out of the kitchen?  ;D

Actually a fellow sent me a link to that and we were discussing whether it was real out not.  I said its special effects...still say  it is.

I split this off into a new thread since what you posted really doesn't have much to do with original topic.

That guy's lucky he has a face left. He better stay away from cannons.
