Pretty much anything higher velocity will do the job. Sitting dynamite against a dead tree, on the ice, or in an abandoned appliance could be very
exciting and we considered dynamite to be a great reactive target. |
And can you tell me how did you get dynamite?Do you have a license or some of your friends work in a mine or quarry?

The story I've heard was that nitroglycerine used to be transported in containers set in loos-packed wood dust or diatomaceous earth to absorb shocks,
and one day Noble noticed that nitroglycerin leaking from a crate was absorbed by the diatomaceous earth, and upon further testing he found that that
made it far less less shock-sensitive.
It seems plausible to me, but we'll probably never now what really happened.
