Very nice. I've been wanting to try just that same thing with either sugar or non-diary creamer, though I'm a bit surprised that flour worked so well.

@AreThereNoMoreNames Yeah, Flour is awesome! So many uses for the stuff!

[ShElDoN6541231]

why did the ones with flour light on fire?

[myutahccw]

@ShElDoN6541231 The flour is so small that it burns super easy...add some oxygen and highly flammable material and you get the burning flour.

@ShElDoN6541231 because when you spread out flour it becomes easier to light on fire and the explove does that well and with a small flash it gives you a large fire ball.

does it explode by a fuse either or does it need the compression from the bullet to ignite???

@AreThereNoMoreNames Dairy creamer or powdered milk will work better. Thats what we use in our cremora bombs for outdoor displays -Vortex Fireworks Artists-

So, what happens when you fill up a 55 gallon drum of this stuff and shoot it... haha just kidding, or am I?
