We have way too much fun on our down time at the shop. My boss just got a really nice bow and is now getting into archery. Well sick of just shooting at the target, we of course have to find new "targets" to shoot at. So today we grabbed a broker factory Ford radio and put 3 arrows through it. That was great, but we needed a good finally. So I grabbed a can of air freshener from the bathroom as the target. Now that was the explosion we were looking for. I think tomorrow we are going to take an old fire extinguisher outside and see what kind of reaction we get.

So, what kind of fun do you guys have?

Make sure it's a walter kiddy. Luxfer and Catalina bottles are thicker. I don't think your going to puncture them, they have to be hydro tested every few years. That involves putting 5/3rd the working pressure in them and seeing if they contract to a safe size after emptying. They must have pretty good elastic qualities.
