If I could place a video on here I would - those butane canisters are something else when they go off lol - not endorsing their use but entertained everyone to the nth degree. Stix also mentioned a great idea - helium balloons with chalk powder...an adler with 5 shots loaded would test the reflexes lol

I’m a little gunshy about putting things like this on tutetube - I’m not tinfoil hat but I also know what could be done if really, really wanted to be done...let’s just say, I was 35/40 metres back, hit 2 canisters sitting in front of a camp fire, with the Adler - and it was wonderfully warm for a good couple of seconds. See behind the camp fire was a carefully built rock wall to protect the fire from the wind - so gas ball was redirected back and up...it was at least 12metres in diameter.

I tried the helium thing but could only get three balloons at the time and they were already full so no chalk...and YES - I missed one and it’s headed to NZ in 45kmh winds. But it has a I love you bear on it - so they’ll know it’s from me.
But this evening as I was buying up cheap gag gifts for my 3 year olds party on weekend - I FOUND that they now sell helium kits for 50 balloons!! Disposable cylinder, etc...very cheap too. Game on lol.

Make sure you kill _and recover_ the balloons. Cattle and other animals can swallow them and die.

Couple stills...

Edit - taken pics down. I do not want to be seen as potentially encouraging this kind of thing.

That is the water catching fire from the gas as you have some mines using fracking near you right?

Most have squeezed off a few .22’s and some of the younger ladies have fired a 12g.

Just looking for ideas on reactive targets to spark the interest a little - other than seeing holes in a bit of paper?

Half a kilo of Ammonium perchlorate...only kidding mate lol
