Yeah, the whole "Look at me!" generation is pretty sorry.

Not doubt gender reveals are kind of ridiculous but shooting 80 lbs of tannerite is freaking epic.

I didn’t know they had rednecks in NH.

Tannerite has remained legal far longer than I would have expected.

I have been so tempted to buy some, my luck soon as I get it they’ll have it outlawed. And I agree with you, it has outlasted way longer than I thought myself

I guess I was mistaken but I actually thought it was banned towards the end of Obama's presidency. I remember it being discussed here.

I still see it for sale. I missed it if has been banned.

You ever shoot any? It’s pretty impressive.

Be sure to read carefully and follow the directions. You don’t want to shoot it at point blank range!

The kids and I picked some up once. When the first can detonated, I told them there ain’t no way this will be legal for long.

I got to shoot some one time on as a part of a “pro” shoot at a range with a whole bunch of ordnance professionals from different organizations/agencies.

My favorite target of the day may have been tannerite strapped to 20# LPG tanks at 1000 meters.  There was no question as to whether you hit it or not.

A guy never really outgrows the fascination with blowing stuff up.

I’ve only got three pounds of it or so. Been meaning to pick up a stockpile of it. That said, even if they ban it, it’s not difficult to make yourself with a trip to Home Depot.

Well this’ll probably fix that. This gender reveal stuff is ignorant. Everybody’s gotta be the focus of attention. 

Although with redneck shenanigans like this, this family surely can’t be all bad.

NH rednecks are the equal of their cousins in the south in all things that matter.  They just have funny (to you) accents, and a higher tolerance for the cold built up over the years.

Some guy used 100# and blew up a dump truck on his property in Minnesota in 2008 got 3yrs probation for his efforts... 

Ever been banned from a gun range with no range restrictions?

 

Shooting 1# bags got pretty damn boring, decided to tape 4 bags together and call it C4...

I’ve visited that range once a few years back. I wouldn’t be to distraught that you can’t go back.

I didn't realize so many people here got their feelings hurt by shooting guns and blowing stuff up.  Nothing is wrong with doing whatever kind of gender reveal that you want, if you are expecting a child and think that gender reveals are stupid, then don't do one.  The problem lies in the people who don't understand how to properly handle tannerite, the rest of the tannerite related gender reveals don't make the news. 

[Wingshooter]

I took down a dead tree with it once that I didn't want to risk a chainsaw on. What a “blast”! Lol 

Super loud. If you ever use the stuff, keep your distance. I was 150yds from the tree.

Nope, they've been extraordinarily silly since the beginning.  The whole concept is stupid, similar to Twitter and other such foolishness.  It's the height of conceit to imagine anyone else cares ...
