Alternator sized indeed


never knew it was this cheap!
why are people still using gunpowder?

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Aren't many bullets packed with a derivative of C4 now? I know you can pack your own casings with powder but aren't many professionally made rounds/ammo made from something else?
Maybe I'm wrong but I thought this changed decades ago.

Hmmmm, a thread about cheap C4 right above a thread about Amazon Prime Day. It's like the fates are sending me a message.

So, is 10lbs of C4 considered bulk? I want to cut out the middleman.

You should probably choose your phrasing more carefully when discussing explosives.

No. Smokeless powder is a propellant. It also costs less than $20/lb if purchased in bulk.

It might be a euphemism for the kind of "girl" you meet outside bars in Bangkok.

All but certainly classified as a destructive device, and thus subject to very stringent limits.

No, we still use gunpowder. Not black powder but smokeless powder.

If you pack a cartridge with C4 you will most certainly blow up your gun.

Yep, it's like the difference between pushing a moving box and dropkicking it.

 

[Pardus]

Sold on Amazon.

 

[Ferzerp]

Cheap =/= accessible.

Apologies, I thought it was changed to not C4 but something similar to it for flammability and better explosive charge reasons.

Normal people would prefer not to have the guns blowing up in their hands.
