WARNING the music in this video is graphic (has cuss words), if you're easily offended or at work turn the volume down.

I'd like to go to this party sometime:

Hi GNEPIG,
about the lyrics; as I had to tell my teenage boys:-
English is among the world's richest languages, having over 100,000 words in ordinary use. F**k is only one of them, not every second one.

Kinda like...

Some of the desert trips with "the boys". We had a couple of cannons that shoot beer cans full of concrete and whatever else we could put in there. Best one was a 3' molydenum tube loaded with a beer can with jet-ski crank pins and concrete. Very devistating to say the least......

I clicked thru a few of the related videos.
Several seemed to have some full auto's...

Those guys are idiots and are gonna get someone killed. Very little in the way of safety controls at that shoot, other than some distance from the explosion.

Tannerite is meant to be used to give an explosive signature at long distances with a target rifle, but in 8oz doses...not in containers big enough to destroy cars etc.

Problem is in an explosion it's very unpredictable how far or fast the smaller denser pieces are gonna fly. A guy recently blew up a truck with the stuff and parts landed as far as 1/4 mile away.

Fun is fun, but these guys won't be happy till they land an engine block on someone's head, (not likely, but a 5oz chunk of shrapnel will kill you just as dead). Or until someone kills a group of folks there for the fireworks by mishandling the explosives. The stuff is pretty safe but those kind of impromptu shootemup partys always draw the amatuer chemists, and wannabe bomb-makers.

At least they blew up a bunch of worthless quality junk. Never really cared for the Ford Escort, 'Specially the wagon. I think they did a grand justic by eliminating those pieces of junk from the user pool. Now, if they would clean up after themselves and take what's left to the recyclers, we may be able to have some more quality beer cans, license plates, bumpers, etc,.
