KFC Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Now, when I were a lad, we'd screw a bolt half way into a nut, put three or four cap-gun caps into the nut, screw in another bolt on the other side then throw it against the path and it would make quite an impressive bang.

Zetter Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 We used to make the stuff at work when bored if you smear the paste on draw runners and leave the draw part open much fun can be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Magman your not alone but we used to wrap them up tight and place them on a lit match and when it burned down bang. Quite impressive and a few in a very tight peice of tinfoil was very good. Best things were the Hilti red heads the little blank fire cartridges for the nail guns, didn't half go pop in a fire, along with deodorant and hairspray cans. Ahh when I were a lad, surprised I've still got all my fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
