thought id post this as some members may not have seen it.

have you ever wondered what the consequences would be if a shell ignited while you was making it.

well the video below show a 8" shell ignited with a dummy to show the effects with some quite shocking results

Our saviours : In the ninth century, a team of Chinese alchemists trying to synthesize an "elixir of immortality" from saltpeter, sulfur, realgar, and dried honey instead invented gunpowder.

there was also some 15kg iirc of stars in an open bucket, the same in a closed bucket the ones in the closed bucket did not ignite but some stars were imbeded in the plastic top. good test in my mind and shows that covering comps and working with as little as possible at one time still helps even with large amounts however devastating.

if i use firefox then it trys to open and freezes its depends how you have firefox setup on how to open .wmv files because explorer opens it in media player and works great.

best thing to do is open media player then click file - open ulr (or press alt if your menu is hidden) and copy and paste this link
