More explosives
When I was young(er) I was quite into firearms, as you are, and made my own ammunition. After Dunblane I handed the guns back and that was that. A couple of years later when moving house I discovered 3,500 rounds of ammunition and a couple of drums of nitrocellulose (aka gunpowder) in the loft. I think you can see where this is going....

Anyway, I binned the ammo but decided to see how explosive gunpower is. The short answer is that it isn't really unless in a confined space. I discovered this by burnng copious amounts in air which just fizzed. After encouragement from my mate, and wasting about a can of the stuff, we thought fuck it and burried the remainder with a small fuse trail in a guy fawkes stylee.

I can still remember shitting myself and the look on next doors cat's face as a four foot clod of earth flew up, taking next doors cat on a magical mystery tour through the greenhouse roof, the entire face of the three houses on each side of mine caked in earth, my mate spitting grass and a couple of teeth out of his mouth and the fragments of an empty can hitting me in the knackers.

Kids, don't play with gunpowder. It's not big or clever. I am still reminded when I can see grass growing on the local roofs....

Edit: Another interesting conclusion is that even when cats are spinning at high speed they do indeed still land on their feet.
