High Explosive Water Tamp Gun

It was a new experiment for me, a barrel using 200g high explosives as the propellant, and water tamping and sand tamping to increase the blast down the barrel. The projectile was a 130g ball bearing surrounded and backed by compressed aluminum foil. The blast was increadible, and the sand tamping caused it to blow a pretty large crater in the ground, considering that the charge was above ground. The ball bearing nicked the side of target, so I don't have accurate results yet; I'll have to try another one :)

ZOMG! That was really awesome! The pipe shape made me think to cartoons.

Yeah it is very nice explosion might not be long promise, too, and upload a video as an explosive odpaluju stump in the woods: D

That was awesome!!! Definitely not a hand gun, I will keep in mind to not load my ammo with ANNMAl. That was really a huge crater for a 200g charge, I think 1kg without the tamp just above the ground would not create the same crater size.

You could try the water tamp around the barrel next time, water bags bellow and above may work fine
