Anyone tried these?

Porcupine, you could always have a go at making your own with Nitrogen triiodide which is easily built, downside is it is very unstable once dry.

Rather TOO unstable I would have thought, if experiments with it in my youth are anything to go by. I seem to remember it having to be placed wet as if you tried to move it at all when dry it disappeared in a p**f of purple smoke...

I've tried them, a great laugh, but YEAH £1 is a lot for what they are

I've seen one shot at 10m when it was attached to a 2'x1'x3" block of wood and it blew the wood to smithereens (admittedly it was a very old dry piece of wood), but trying to set one off with a screwdriver :? :lol:

I've also been to a clay flush shoot where there were penalty birds and when shot they gave a coloured p**f of smoke, they weren't the same thing!

Reactive targets are always more fun to shoot but as has been said, they're probably not worth the money to do more than a couple of times. Unless of course you didn't pay for them

I should point out, I was only in the vicinity of someone trying to do that, it wasnt actually me trying to do it!

This was of course after they'd seen them going off on the targets a few feet away! I'll never understand some people!

Used them on Melville last year. Set fire to the plastic. Backing boards!

Shooters from Headley Court thought it was a great laugh, Range Warden was not impressed
