Ammonium Nitrate Explosion at 200 yards (iron sighted rifle)

[goffy44]

my vids are better they cook toast a lot faster

[KIGYAKIA]

that shit is dangerous as can be man.. bad idea to mess around with that shit be safe and watch it on youtube... you will keep all your fingers and hands and other extremeties

[A7XmaNbeaRpiG]

What kind of microwave was used to film this?

[pigslayer08]

the fbi wont be at your door you liberal, if your on your own land outside of the gayass city you can do anything you want. like shooting a bag of fertilizer or a propane tank or blowing up cars or shooting tracers in horizon at birds

[armorfid]

He sounds like Kermit.

[MegamanEXEv2]

Filmed some time in the 1800's, on the first hand held camera.

[pnuemagger]

I suspect the people commenting about the "bad shooting" have never actually shot a rifle with iron sights at 200yds. Yeah, with a scope any decent rifle/shooter should be hitting 4" targets all day @ 200yds... but the guy wasn't shooting a scoped rifle. Hitting something the size of a coffee can @ 200yds with iron sights is a pretty darn good. Better than a majority of shooters can do in 3 or fewer shots. Especially considering that most cheap or milsurp ammo won't even group 6" at 200yds.

[TheCloudedfate]

@pnuemagger at last an intelligent youtube comment. you sir have made my day.

i just feel the need to add, so people have some perspective, that 200 yds is 2 football fields. the fact that he landed it within 3 feet 3 times in a row, then hit it, is actually ratther impressive

[ColorManifestation]

Cool vid dude, but the FBI is going to be at your door in like 30 min

[isaacoscar1]

@ColorManifestation fuck head

[bryanccolley]

I think you meant 20 yards.

[Jaymeh92]

Thumbs up if you think this sounds like Cleveland from Family Guy!

[EPICT0ASTER]

next time use tracers if you can get them in your state, and do it at dusk.

[mw2rockstar]

SOOOOOOO BALLER (awesome) =*]

[WhiteTrashSingers]

Words cannot describe how crappy the video quality is.

[Terrekon]

damn, you suck. hope you never get in a shootout- spray and pray.

[stan464]

@amos2500 Your right, its not a good idea. but thers always gooogle +1 xD

[TheJoshuuuaaa]

@GibsonElectricI Steel sights its pronounced iron sites lol! even a fucking five year old faggot knows that and haha thats why i got 70 out of 100, on a 200 yard range with a cadet gp yes thats the sA80 A1 on semi automatic so stfu!.

[TheJoshuuuaaa]

[guhbnu]

red neck much?

[PTEredmond]

so you can set it off buy shoting it....that simple? thought you needed a blasting cap or some sort of "pre" explosive to set it off.... :S

[flamedrag18]

@PTEredmond a bullet carries enough energy to set it off, but works better if you mix some aluminum in too(I'd say up to 10%), increases the sensitivity enough to be pretty consistent.

[crazywildmutt]

cleveland sure likes explosions

[TheJoshuuuaaa]

in all these videos of people shooting ammonium nitrate they all have shit accuracy :/

[musclemaniac1]

the only two ingredients you need are ammonium nitrate plus aluminum powder....I know of other people (me) putting a third ingredient into the mix, but that is not for beginners!

[pyronathanpyro]

now allow me get 5gram of bp and 7 gram of sugar and 7 gram of kno3(potasium nitrate) then mix carefully then take some pyrotechnics coulor powder optional and mix if wanting coulour then compact but carefully into a tube with a plugged bottom off course now put a fuse in then light then run like youve never ran b4 and i mean it it goes kaboom if ya compacted it rightly it smokes like fuk aswell lol]

[RuairiC14]

idiot didnt take the lens cap off

[Xtrmn8r123321]

@TNFlightNurse

To be lazy... And maybe annoying xD

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Camera-man you're not, lol!

[robbie8600]

Then allow me:

How to make tannerite:

95 parts Ammonium Nitrate (34-0-0 ferilizer*) or pure NH4(NO3)2 to 5 parts aluminum powder (oxydizer) BY WEIGHT. This means every 100 grams of 34-0-0 incurrs 5 grams of aluminum powder. Or pounds. Or tons.  Or whatever unit of measurement you like. Make a ton of tannerite. I dare you. XD You'd be broke as fuck. Financially AND physically. XD Aluminum Powder should be ground to 2 microns and should be the BLACK variety. Available at any paint shop

[Potemtole]

dude i think the gorvernment took your video down and left the audio up? lol

[allfagssuck]

awesome

[TheHondaAbuser]

del this fucking video moron!

[admiralbob02]

There used to be video to this...

[cptkirk2007]

Shit vidi

[mapleguy1029384756]

dude take the lenses cap off noob. and then press record while holding it not in your pocket.

[CheeseNips4U123]

THAT WAS INTENSE!!!

[Rockorollo]

uuuuuum did you want us to use our imagenation with this

[daveamber1002]

Why the f$#% did you even post it?

[luvbigexplosions]

maybe you should take the lens cap off

[ItsCallum]

@luvbigexplosions i can see it...

[Scorptarius]

hey i thought this was an explosion video, not a black hole video

[PyroSpeuz]

for me too -.-

[iwillavengeyou]

the vid is only a black screen for me

[NinjaWulluf]

same

[dfulwilder]

had to go HQ in order to get on screen, video quality is still crappy though

[NinjaWulluf]

thanks :D

[edceti1]

me 2

[pyronathanpyro]

@iwillavengeyou same

[uchiaslayer]

umm, i'm pretty sure u have to add fuel oil for one, and second u need a detonator

[jmalmsten]

I'm not sure, but I belive that while fule oil like Diesel or the like does help. If the shock is severe enough I think it'll blow by itself...

the clip was interesting but video was pretty much a garbled mess of blocks... to the point of being unwatchable...

[ProfChaos01]

I...see no video, just audio.

[MrStevie100]

me too

[Frresh123]

hi im german an i dont know yards can someone telling me it in metres ? thx :)

[smunp]

About 1.18 m diameter boulder

[IndianXC]

a little less than 200 meters, say 180ish

[SWStreetRides]

Tannerite, not AN. Shooting AN will not blow up.

[notoncemoreagain]

Tannerite could be used as the primary detonator

[marine12320]

No, it needs a booster. A #8 industrial blasting cap does the trick but i doubt oyu have that. I reccomend maybe MEKP of AP(not really cause it's too unstable)

[oishi222]

5 stars though!

[oishi222]

i can see and hear on my ipod, but not on my computer....

[Masalmeh321]

I can't see anything is it just me?

[tiecuando]

The screen is all black!

[chubbychinchilla]

what kind of explosive can u set it off with? if you only used a little would a firecracker work.

[zomgerln]

no, you need something with the punch of an #8 industrial blasting cap, about 2 grams of acetone peroxide does the job neatly, but i don't advice you to use acetone peroxide because it's so damn unstable.

[hackdawg]

No and you would need something that explodes with some force. I dont know the exact number but its somewhere in the range of 1500 fps to 2000 from what ive read. To detonate at lower speeds you would need to desensitize the material.

[ew435890]

To make tannerite, just mix however much Anonnium Nitrate, with 5% aluminum powder. And it can only be set off by a high velocity rifle round.

[chubbychinchilla]

i just got some from 2 instant cold packs is there a way i could just use a little anfo as a firecracker. and how do you set it off? my uncles friend who was in the special ops said you hav to set it off with another explosion

[SodaPop226]

I have a bit of ammonium nitrate fertilizer,but I don't know where to go from there if I want to make a dynamite.

[admiralbob02]

Dynamite has nothing to do with ammonium nitrate. I would suggest you do maybe a teeny tiny bit of research before mixing up explosive compounds... Most of them are not very forgiving in the manufacturing process... particularly dynamite. I mean you could wing it or go off the advice of some message board idiot, just stay away from me when you do it.....

[ztrain727]

You're a dumb fuck. You can make AN Dynamite, so yes, AN does have something to do with dynamite. I don't think you quite get what dynamite is.

[admiralbob02]

... or ... DYNAMITE invented by Alfred Nobel in 1864 is named after diatomaceous earth and was origionaly a mixture of that and Nitroglycerine more modern formulations substitute nitrocelulose. Ammonium nitrate does not enter into the production of DYNAMITE. If you want to misuse the term fine. But hold back the dumb fuck comments.

[thevaliant123]

wow. you can wikipedia the word dynamite. you must be a genius.

[admiralbob02]

Yes, thank you, I'll accept that. Proper information sourcing and using terms correctly is genius. Especially when some jackass decides to slam me for accurate information. A little "wikipediaing" or better still research with an actually  reliable information source is what those, to whom I responded, could have benefited from before touching their keyboards.

[thevaliant123]

well... anyone who's ever done a research paper knows that wikipedia is NOT a reliable source because anyone can post whatever they want on it. i could go to dynamite right now and post "dynamite and poop are synonymous. dynamite is nothing more than human feces in a container with a wick." and it probably wouldnt get edited out for like 4 weeks.

[aerotown42]

lol do it

[mzmadmike]

@thevaliant123 it would probably be reverted by the time you took a screen print. Certain vandalism will trigger protocols. Minor mistakes can linger for years, but that is true of ANY encyclopedia, which is why they're considered secondary sources, even Britannica. Also, any encyclopedia, including Wiki, has sources referenced that one can use.

Now, if you want to say that the Wikipedia geeks have longer entries about Superman's costumes than about ANFO, THAT would be a valid complaint.

[The60sBeatles]

naah just put any flamable liquid over it lol, doesnt have to be diesel or gasoline.

[The60sBeatles]

should do, but you dont want to be near it when it does.

[specialedday]

sorry, but that is tannerite.

[amos2500]

Yep. And the main ingredient in tannerite is ammonium nitrate. NH4(NO3)2

[specialedday]

Label it correctly next time b(^_^)d

[amos2500]

I work in federal law enforcement and I'm not about to tell anyone how I make explosives.

[KnexGod03]

@amos2500 ammonium nitrate + fuel oil? ANFO.

[Flomounier1]

@amos2500 there is no need to say that because you can find instructions on many websites and if you work in law enforcement then why are you even making bombs? very smart buddy

[adriiPortillo]

DOES the federal law enforcement buy tannerite ??? hahahahahahahaha

[TheJoshuuuaaa]

@amos2500 shut the fuck up u work as a federal law enforcement officer an you have accuracy like that ? i wouldnt be scared if i was a criminal.

[tsadavid4205000]

@TheJoshuuuaaa hahahaha, good 1

[CimarronPeacekeeper]

@amos2500 no you don't

[rcomid]

@amos2500 do you want me to tell em ?:)

[makettaja]

@amos2500 thats just stupid to think that ppl dont know what tannerite is or ap. and its not like anyone is looking for information from videos like this. and the chemistry behing explosives is completly legal. Making the explosives isnt. You cant make information illegal. thats basicly communism.

[USFSCrimes]

@makettaja Making or storing explosives at a residence is illegal. However, You may manufacture display fireworks for personal use at your property without obtaining a Federal explosives license or permit (a manufacturer’s license is needed only by persons engaged in the business of manufacturing fireworks for sale, distribution, or other commercial purpose). However, where storage occurs, you must comply with all storage requirements in 27 CFR, Part 555, Subpart K.

[makettaja]

@USFSCrimes I wasnt even talking about making. I talked about the information on how to make. Every chemist knows and chemistry book has information about explosives. I meant that the information isnt illegal.

[Hardstylaz]

@amos2500 Yet you comfortably post it on youtube?

[reddog418]

@amos2500 People who work in federal law enforcement usually don't feel the need to broadcast it on Youtube.

[demonwolfie]

Ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3

[Chslosers]

ya..but depending on your fuel or oxidizer it creates a higher force.. tannerite is pretty weak in reality.

[MrChiltan]

@amos2500 what is the amount of AN and what have u added in it? and by which proportion???

[Azndonx]

@amos2500 NH4NO3

[tTatmosT]

like AP/AN... which is a great explosive and is also a gd detonator...

[TenshihanQuinn]

This guy's voice makes me wanna shout; "Yee HAW!!"

[exon112]

If you want ammonium nitrate look it up on eBay now, there is an auction up for it but eBay will probably remove it soon.

[DMR40]

Take a chem class. It isn't hard, you need to write a balanced molecular equation of your reactants, determine molar mass of components, and mix accordingly. Anyone know which hydrocarbon produces the best mole ratio? I'd work out the formulas but I don't have the time.

[crossmethod23]

but you have time to criticize people...

[DMR40]

It takes time to write out a complete, balanced equation. Especially with that added Aluminum.

I wasn't trying to criticize you, but the truth is if you don't have a basic understanding of the chemistry/physics involved then you're not someone I want playing with explosives.

[MinuteMaidDrinker]

i fuckin want to be a science teacher.

[DAKJcrew]

Have you ever heard of the mixture "ANAL(hehe anal)" im not to sure of the power of it compared to ANFO. btw

AN = ammonium nitrate

AL = Aluminium powder

[Chinua3]

That looks a lot like a flash powder. Flash powder is basically an oxidizer (i.e. AN) + aluminium powder.

[crossmethod23]

it is a flash powder mix...50/50 makes a kind of strong flash, there are a couple of videos on here about it

[crossmethod23]

what i meant in my above state ment, is not that what he is shooting is flash powder, but that Ammonium nitrate can be used to make a strong flash. just clearing that up.

[NH4NO3CH3NO2]

all you need is ammonium nitrate? and a high powered rifle no primary or booster

[DMR40]

According to my understanding, Ammonium Nitrate IS explosive on its own but it requires an incredible primer because its heat of activation is so high. A rifle won't do it. When most people say Ammonium Nitrate they mean NH4NO3 + a hydrocarbon, usually diesel fuel which drastically lowers the HoA so you can go boom boom easier. With that mixture than yeah, a high powered rifle should do the trick.

[destruxxx]

Nope, unfortunately it's not enough. Even a high velocity rifle like a .270 WSSM isn't enough shock to initiate it. Adding some potassium perchlorate to sensitize it will allow magnum rifles to detonate it, but small caliber rifles still won't. There are other sensitizers that work even better, but I'm drawing a blank right now. I think it may be possible to use an amount of ammonium nitrate mixed with AL powder (flash powder) to initiate ANFO (the name for the explosive you described).

[mike4ty4]

What about a multistage system where you have it wrapped in a shell of gun powder? And then you set off the gun powder, compressing and shocking the core? What about a .50 BMG round? An electric arc? Or vaporization fuze?

[LeshracVNN]

Tannerite is a composition of Ammonium nitrate (65%), Ammonium Perchlorate (15%), Aluminum powder (15%) & Zirconium Hydride (5%).

[gaypanties]

the main thing about ammonium nitrate is it is not as easily detonated as other explosives, it takes a shock wave from another smaller primer, or in this case, a shot of a bullet to split its chemical bonds, but the results are devastating

[amos2500]

Any fuel containing oxygen will explode (or release hot gasses, in the case of thermite). It needs only sufficient detonation and the right circumstances to release it's potential. Sugar is another good potential, since it is C6H12O6. Fuel (Hydrogen, Carbon...+Oxygen. Under the right conditions, it will explode. I use Potassium Permanganate to sensitize it. It doesn't have the kick of tannerite, though.

[Garbonzo07]

911 inside job btw

[jerryspriinger]

Proof not BS would be nice

[asfdddddddddddddd]

u fuking arab it wasnt an inside job u dirty brown guy

[admiralbob02]

I swear I saw the planes hit it externally...

[Garbonzo07]

omg i saw planes hit too

changes nothing

nano thermite

qq moar bitches doesnt matter cry as much as u want cry cry cry doesnt change science

[dorokatsimma]

Aluminized kinepak and some mysterious chemical? Dont think so. Have read about it for some months ago. Its some different types, but noone have NM in it. NM vil make it more unsensitive, and remove all the hot spots that may be there.

[180027888633]

hey i got 2 question

can u use hydrogen(explode not burn) to detonate ANFO?

i dunno where to get AP(someone tell me)?

-thanks-

[seanmhoward]

ammonium nitrate is in those cool packs for sports injuries

[destruxxx]

No. You need something with a high exlosive velocity. Also, AP(acetone peroxide) is a high explosive and is extremely dangerous to work with, as it is heat and shock sensitive. As a result, it's very hard to buy, and not something that's commonly found in a consumer product.

[tTatmosT]

why buy AP when u can make it at home...

[amos2500]

Something about one quart in size, 200 yards away, open sights? With my buddy's rifle, I've only fired 4 times? I didn't think that was too shabby. The 100 power zoom lens brings it in closer than it really was. It was hard visible with the naked eye.

[Uberownager]

That is exactly what I said. AN and Al is tannerite...

[blowjobbftw]

So tannerite is actualy ammonal? Why will the AN detonate so easily when mixed with Al? It cant be because of the low density AN thing. Its still to insensitive. And because the AN and AL isnt chemicaly mixed, it cant be because its fueled, like with FO or anything else eighter.

[blowjobbftw]

I've read that one type of tannerite containes AN mixed with Al powder, titanium sponge and zirconium hydride and ammonium chlorate. I've read about many other mixtures with ammonium pherclorate, sulfur, Ethylene glycol, Ptassiom Chlorate, antimony trisulfide, magnesium, calcium carbonate and some other shit.

[Uberownager]

Hmm, yeah I guess I was a bit too quick o reply. I guess Ammonal is a cheap type of tannerite, and real tannerite contains much more than Al. But the Al added to AN sensitizes it, due to density changes and changes in physical properties. This creates hotspots and areas of concentrated energy, when a shockwave/bullet travels through the material.

[Uberownager]

The other additives in tannerite sensitizes it further. Therefore Ammonal is mostly used when initiated by a detonator instead, due to the lower sensitivity... I guess :P

[blowjobbftw]

So the hotspots will have something to do with it? Isnt the advantage of hotspots first when the mixture is allready detonating?

[Uberownager]

From what I know, hotspots are created when the material is affected by energy, before it detonates itself. I.e. when a blasting cap explodes, then it may create hotspots in the seconsary material. Making a full detonation more likely. For instance, adiabatic compression in voids is also a hotspot... As far as I know

[blowjobbftw]

A little quote from roguesci:)

The compression pulse generated during detonation compresses the air bubbles in the explosive, resulting in extremely high temperatures or "hot-spots". These "hot-spots" would appear to sustain and enhance the detonation propagation.

[blowjobbftw]

More ideal detonation behavior, hence higher detonation energy and higher brisance Detonation velocity slightly higher and more constant through hole charge length. Increased small diameter sensitivity. Accelerated build-up to stable detonation velocity. More complete reaction with less after burning and fumes.

[Uberownager]

Thought so

[destruxxx]

Just wanted to note here that you should avoid mixing chlorates with sulfur. It makes them very unstable (as in, they can go off from the heat of sitting in the sun). Usually it's not a problem if you are mixing a target and using it in a few minutes... but don't store any that have chlorates and sulfur mixed.

[tekn9ne187]

Damn man you know how to have fun, i need to move back to texas after seein these videos of all the stuff people do out in the desert...

[Uberownager]

Than this is tannerite. AN is as insensitive as plastic explosives

[amos2500]

This came with a dry silvery powder that needed to be added to "sensitize" it. But it is ammonium nitrate and a metallic powder only.

[amos2500]

Yes. The shock from a high speed bullet is more than sufficient to set off most explosives, minus plastic explosives which were engineered to withstand small amounts of rifle fire.

[BarunTuk]

Pretty nice explosion.

Usually you mix the AN with some oil diesel.

Was this a AN+Diesel bomb or what?

[amos2500]

The catalyst was powdered aluminum, I believe. I bought this at a gunshow as an "exploding scarecrow."
