This is better than shooting fruitcakes with a M-60.

Which we did, back at Fort Benning. Don't ask.

Don't ask? Don't tell. :-P

That was one WEIRD science experiment, I'm wondering what exactly the gummy bear has in it that makes it react so violently with the potassium chlorate.

Hero Games did an experiment with a couple of damaged copies of Fifth Edition Revised "Fred" which was refered to as bullet resistant, so they went to a local range and put this to the test. it fully stopped a 9mm among other things

I still like the "volcano" demo. Big pile of potassium permanganate crystals, and something rigged to drip glycerin into the middle of the pile.

*Big* bright purple flame.
