put them in front of a sabot or put the in something that could break on impact and spray them all over the place then pop pop pop pop. try once and it was very cool indeed

have any concrete that is used alot? scatter a bag there and watch the fun as people freek out when they walk over them, very funny. as for explosion...your S.O.L. with them, I poured some gas on concrete and was throwing them on it, nothing happened.

Oppen them all up, dump the coated flint peices in some bowles (many different ones), set them all off at once... maybe you could place these pellets in piles and initiate by shooting with bb gun.

I'm not sure they are flint, but the compound is silver fulimate, not flash powder.

And also mercury fulimate is used in the disc and tube shaped ones,but i havent seen them in years and they dont go pop,they go off with a mighty crack and they leave little burn marks if you tread on them with bear feet.Like little mines...ouchy.

It must be the season since this keeps coming up. Here's my idea for firing them from a cannon:

Cut a slice of spud about 1/2 thick. Use that for wadding. Poke it a little ways down the barrel. Sprinkle in a few go-pop thingums. Cut another slice of spud and layer it on top. Now gently ram it all home.

I fired with my pneumatic and got a really nice secondary flash and pop on impact.

Others have posted that in a combustion, they explode in the barrel.

Lay out a paper towel a big one and empty all ur Snaps on to the paper towel. Then wrap up the paper towel. Put a twist tie on it and throw the paper towel full of all the snap pop insides. It should be a nice big pop

Those little snappers suck. You might as well just do what someone else said and scatter them on a sidewalk where people will walk. Making your own explosives would be a better idea, depending on whether you want something that will just blow up, or will blow up when struck.

Put some in a propane metered spudgun. Put the propane in and shake!

Pyrogeek, I don't feel confortable with discussion of explosives here.

Only partly because it leads to off-topic conversation.
