  • tells us not to use it, then shows us how to make it...

  • hey can i ask you to explain or (hopefully) do a video showing how to put the dc or ac on properly and also the phone cord that you said to ignite? i have this trick i want to try to pretend like im gambit from xmen and these would be awesome to pull off the illusion. And one finally question. In terms of if you need a bigger bang. Does everything need to be adjusted? the powder the straw the elctrical tape etc etc ?

  • You can't spell for shit.

  • You know what you are doing is illegal don't you? only someone licensed should attempt this and what you are doing is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

  • Hey, I met a man who are 6'3" on a dating SITE-- Tal l H’U‘B. c○ m --.while, I am only 5'6" and I love tall guys. He said to me that tall girls on that site are seeking fun with tall guys...Are you tall and like tall people, if so, go and check here~

  • who had the great idea to put this song in this?

  • will it work ro combine these squibs whit a blood bag to make a bullet hit / blood burst

  • great video very helpful

  • how do u time the explotion to be in a line like that?

  • how many inches should the scoop be?

  • How much do you think all of these materials would cost? This seems to be the cheapest and quickest method to make decent squibs.

    I'm also wondering if these would work on an actor who is running. I'm trying to achieve the effect of a person being gunned down mid-run, but most of the squib tutorials I've seen will only work if the actor is stationary. So would these work in the scene I'm trying to achieve?

  • @ometta7 not sure if you ever found out your answer but these will and wont work. Its kinda dangerous but they can be used if you put some sort of armor behind them on the body like a metal plate taped to the body. If you want blood to pop out of the wounds then you can tape a fake blood filled condom tight over the squibs. Keep away from face and make them tiny then rip the shirt gently so they will explode out.

  • love it how all the video editing effects along with the technique described in this video are vintage 1980s....

  • You should correct spelling errors in the video.

  • I tried ur method, and am curious about the ignition system...Im trying to run it on a 9v battery, but it wont go off. Is it just not powerful enough? What are you using?

  • cool but i think its funny that everytime you comment you say BOOM at the end haha it reminds me of shooter mcgavin from happy gilmore haha thanks for sharing - BOOM lol

  • Cool video bro! I'm tired of just finding /blood/ squib demonstrations everywhere. Just need to be able to flatten the squibs against the wall and color it the same so it doesn't stand out too much.

    Is there a cheap way to remote detonate?

  • for ppl having a prob getting this to work use a 1 to 470 ohm resistor instead.

  • I am not trusting the plans of someone who can't spell words like "wrap", "measure", "scoop", "pieces", "through", squeeze", "electric" ... please tell us that English is not your first language.

    And if powder measurement is is important, how come you don't mention what size of scoop to make or the type of powder?

  • so epic :O

  • haha awesome vid

  • i tried them 2day using a car battery and worked fine. great stuff

  • Your spelling is GOD AWFUL.

  • wow thats pretty cool i never knew how those worked out until now. thanks!

  • I've tried to do this with firecracker powder and a 13'5 volt baterie (4'5 + 9 volt bateries) and it didn't work... what's wrong? Must I use black gunpowder (for bullets I mean)... In spain we have not gun stores!!! LOL Thanks for the vid, anyway, it's very interesting ;-)

  • Found these used with DC to be very unreliable as is. To get a more reliable bang I coated the ignition wire with cellulose from ping pong balls dissolved for about a day in acetone. Add a bit of finely ground gun powder to the result (which should look like elmers glue).

  • @nicklinn --

    you must not be doing something right -

    99 out of a 100 work when I make them --

    Make sure you are connecting the wires Good --twist them together well-

    thats likely your problem--- Boom--

  • @GroovyVideo2: The connections were good, attached a meter to watch current flow. Tried numerous gauges, of both copper and nichrome wire and either the wire would burn out before the powder would take or it never got hot enough. Could have been the powder, it's synthetic so might have a lower ignition point. However dipping the ends in cellulose mixture proved almost perfect reliability. And will catch using a 9V battery if using nichrome wire.

    Cheers.

  • @GroovyVideo2 how do you detonate multiple squibs at diff times

  • I am a special effects technician for 25 years and I must express how dangerous this is. Get a person with a license to do your squibs or do them with air. This is careless information to be posted.

  • wow, youre going to get someone hurt, killed or in jail. this is 10 years of real special effects experience and 4 state and federal licenses talking.

  • Awesome! Great effect. But how did you get them to fire in series like that?

  • you've destroyed a lamp to make this movie ! LOL !!

  • Hey that help alot man!

  • what is the name of this song

  • @thebomb182

    the name of the song is Rubber Chicken -

    I made it using Apple Sound Track Pro --

  • what is "the powder"? (Gunpoder?)

  • thanks dude

  • no offense, but your spelling is atrocious

  • 1:44 thats what she said.

  • @suckamsears no thts more like thts what he said and its the snapshot for the vid too!!!

  • 1:40 - So what am I supposed to do? bust out some freestyle old school beats? HA!

  • cool thanks but where do i buy it

  • Buy 4F Black Gun powder--at gun store-- Black gun powder comes in 4 rates of burn-- -- 1F-2F-3F-4F -- 4F is the fastest burn--Explodes-- 1F burns the slowest -fizzle to see other ways squibs can be used watch my other videos titled -- -- Elector Cute My Dog -- and --Hicks in the Sticks with Ticks-- also please rate and comment on the videos- Have Fun --BOOOM -
  • where do i purchase the powder?

  • its cool but what type of powder u use cuz i want to make it

  • does it matter what tipe of cord it is

  • I would think if you have them on one circuit, after the first one you would lose your circuit. Obviously. So, do you have an individual circuit going out to each squib?

  • you use ONE common ground wire

    and a separate positive to each squib--

    Multi strand phone cord works well -

    for long distance use 110 volt

    squibs go off instantly--

    Use a Nail board --Nails driven into wood in a line-

    Positives hook to each nail - use a piece

    of aluminum hooked to Common Negative

    wire --Brush aluninum across the nails to

    set off multi squibs in order --Have fun -

  • Use 4F Black gun powder -- Black powder comes in 1F threw 4F -- 4F burns the Fastest 1F burns the slowest-- 4F is considered a explosive regular gun powder dose not work - 12 volt or 120 volt is used to ignite the squib-- it burns to slow-- Ya I know I can not spell -- but I make up for it being clever - Watch my 2 other videos to see squibs used-- Eletro Cute My Dog Hicks in the sticks with Ticks --
  • What kind of powder is it? Gun powder?

  • wuts your electrical ignition set up for these? an outlet ignition device hooked up to your household 110 volts or what?

  • rap isn't it wrap?? haha

    1:50 GOLD ... the tighter the better.

    Great vid!

  • To see other ways to use this type Squib-

    watch my videos titled

    --Electro Cute My Dog - and

    --Hicks in the Sticks with Ticks --

    To make make Mushroom Cloud effect in Hick movie

    put some 4F Black powder in to a plastic soda bottle cap--

    put wire igniter in the Center of the powder-

    Poof -

  • I've tried this, and if you want a bloody gun shot, attach it to a cutting board and place a blood pack on it. Depending how thick the cutting board is, this can be a major factor. I only tried one size.

  • kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  • the endng? wtf haha

    good trick tho

  • holy crap

  • They look good. Did you make the powder yourself and exactly how do you hook them to the cords to set them off? I was lost on that part LOL

    AL

  • The guy riding the Nuke is from the movie "Slim Pickins"

  • I thought it was Dr. Strangelove?

  • I used 4X Black powder - it is a explosive type of gun powder-- the number of Xs tells you how fast it burns ---4X is Fastest 1X is slowest - I have not tried Regular gun powder but a poster below tried it and said it dose not work-- There is NO stop action I shot it in One Take with 6 cameras - except for the Lamp shot -- I used a Nail board to control how the squibs went off-- Watch my videos Eletro Cute My Dog and Hicks in the Sticks with Ticks -
  • gun powder or wut powder?

  • is the stuff in fun snaps (the thing that bangs when you throw it on the ground) is that gun powder? please reply.

  • yea i belive so

  • No, not the same mix as fun snaps.

  • do you have to use gun powda can you use something ells

  • Squibs were used in my video

    -- Electro Cute My Dog --

    will give you some idea of other ways

    to use squibs

  • Is there anyway you could make a diagram of the nail board you set up for the sequential explosions. If so that would be great!

  • that looked great but where can i get the powder?

  • This is the best tutorial i have found. I have done detonators similar to this technique but this is way better than my idea.

  • do you think this would work well as a detonator? my producer didnt want to pay out for hazmat charges and buy me some electric matches, so im building these to test as detonators. any advice?

  • Hm.. Yes, you just have to basically replace the straw with a copper pipe about 7-8mm (0,3 inches), fold one end really tight that it doesnt let go any air. Then drill a hole in the middle or any place comfortable for you. Next you will have to tape the hole you drilled and pour in the mixture of any flammable powder you desire ;). Then seal the other end carefully with the same technique as the first one. Then you use the same idea used here. Just through the hole :)

  • XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDddddd

  • U can make ur own powder...

  • I forgot to tell you that a squib was used to make the light fall -

    I used a cloths pen with a squid in between the jaws of the cloths pen-

    The squib blows the jaws apart-

    then the lamp falls

    If you look closely at the lamp you can see

    the squib explode --Have fun and be careful

  • Great tutorial. But I can't seem to get powder where I live. When I asked for it at the gun shop the guy told me it was actually called "4F" and nobody he knew had a license to carry it.

    Still, a great tutorial!

  • Yep your right 4F powder -

    Thats what I get for typing at 2AM -

    Wow here in TX you can buy No problem -

    The gun store dose have to have a license

    to sell it tho-

    The more Fs in the label means it

    the Faster it burns --

    I have not tried Regular gun powder-

    but I think it would work --Have fun--

  • No sir, it does not. I tried it with gun powder from shells and it just burns up, no bang.

  • Has to be black powder, or flash powder, regular gunpowder won't burn fast enough.

  • How do you make the squibs go off in a perfect series like that? Do you make each squib's connecting wires longer as you go? Can one battery be used to set off an entire series? I've been desperately trying to figure this out.

  • it looks like stop-motion or some video editing was done. watch closely.

  • yeah, holes look pre cut and nothing under them, look closely 2:34, and 2:36, and really visible at 2:40

  • This looks really great but where do I buy 4X gunpowder? I thought you needed a special license to get that stuff.

  • most gun stores stock the 4X powder-

    No license needed --at least in Texas

    I dont about other states -

  • Will this type of squib work with a blood condom, through a shirt...with some sort of chest protection...of course...

  • Yes it will : )

  • i made something similar but its a bridge wire to set of my homemade fireworks from a safe distance. nice job did you use gun powder of flash powder?

  • i made my squibs very similar to this i used this as field research

    i ended up modifying a disposable camera to make it hand held and modified the ignition source.

    loved the ending

  • HOLY S@#!!!!! that was epic but wtf is up w/ the ending?

  • are you using Nichrome wire for your ignition source?

  • Just plain Old multi strand copper wire-

    (Lamp cord) the thinner the better-

  • also what Kind of powder are you using? we have 9mm gun powder, will that work?

  • actually yea it does lol, i just didnt have this shit tight enough, fuck I didnt know it was gonna be louder than a fire cracker... my ears hurt haha

  • I use 4X black powder - It burns the fastest-

    and is cheap - I would think perty much any

    Gun powder would work - but I have not tried

    it so I dont know for sure

  • lol fuck man! your shit got banned before why? I had this video book marked, then one day went to watch it and said your account was suspended permanently. anyway yea i'm making some squibs myself here, when i put a 6v battery up to the wire it takes a second or 2 for the squib to go off. any idea how to make it instant? my guess would be more battery power..

  • Yep my account got Zapped because of political

    comment I made about clown boy bush-

    6V battery is not strong enough- 12V is Better-

    The Longer the connecting wire is the more juice it takes too -- 110v will go off Instantly

  • how did you time it to explode sequentially? btw, very cool video!

  • to set of in sequence you use a Nail board -

    a board with steel nails in it all the

    negative wires are wired to each separate nails

    then with a positive wire is scrubbed across

    the nails -making a complete circuit for each squib--simple -- Thanks for the comments

  • wow thats cool!!!!thats very helpful to make my next video!!thx!!! :D
