How to hide explosives in a target - Video and Procedure

[SkeeterHawk]

The resulting video for this ended up in the April Shooting Challenge, but I thought that it may be interesting to someone how I "hid" the Firebird inside the packaging...so I could blow up the box too and not make it obvious that I had explosives in there. First off, here is the final video from the shooting challenge:

Here is the grossness as bought:

I opened the box from the bottom, and took out the plastic holder. I cut the shape of the firebird out of the plastic:

Here is how it looked in the box:

I cut the back of the box out:

I stuck the Firebird to a hard surface as shown:

I put a bunch of double-sided tape on the box and stuck it over the Firebird on the target, so it looked like the candy was just stuck to the target:

One thing to note is that I put a TINY dot right over the Bunny's nose where the center of the Firebird is. I did this so I wouldn't miss the center.

Anyway, this could be a fun prank, but for me, I just wanted an excuse to vaporize some of the grossest candy I have ever seen.

Cheers!

You are a sick, sick, person.
I like you!

I'd love to see this blow up.

Well, I did it again (For the May Flowers Shooting Challenge this time), but I did it a little different this time. Here is a link to the video of the target completely exploding:

For this one, I made a frame and glued neodymium magnets to the bottom so that it would stick to my metal target

I hot glued my "targets" to some card stock and cut it to the size of the frame...and held it in place with thumb tacks.

I used the adhesive on the back of the Firebird to stick it to the metal target:

I then carefully stuck the frame over the Firebird so that the center of the target was exactly over the Firebird:

You saw what happened to these little Peeps in the video. Have fun (Safely)

I used to shoot large pistol primers out of my 0.22 Crossman 1400 pump air rifle. Almost a perfect fit. If you hit something hard the primers exploded. Not the most accurate and maybe not good for the barrel's rifling.

I don't know and maybe it's just me but the title of your post first appeared to me as a terrorist plot that I didn't want to click on it. Too late I guess.

Not the most accurate

It's the same for the Ukrainian Exploding pellets. I did accuracy tests here and they pretty much sucked. They are great fun when they hit, but you need to shoot a really big target.
