The point you make is a very good one and I would be nothing short of a fool if i hadn’t considered it. the product I’m developing will have many safety devices and would need to be not only need to be mis-used but altered to be used as an anti-personnel device, which in that case makes it no different from someone who buys a paintball hand grenade and swapping the paint balls for lead shot.

But I am an expert in engineering not explosives. My involvement with the explosive side of this ends at testing, once I know the product works and is feasible any pyro production will be done via a pyro manufacture, that way the charges are tested and certified for the purpose.

What qualifies you as an expert?

my degree and the time i have worked in engineering industry, more than qualifies me to design the hardware for the purpose.

But does it make you an expert engineer. You clearly have alot to learn about pyro and you do need to listen as there are many here with a fair few years of experience, you would do well to take their advice. I understand you are itching to realise your big "money maker" of an idea but slowly slowly catch e monkey (esp if you have to learn the skills along the way).

So how many years have you got under your belt as a design engineer (civil, structural, mechanical etc)? A good few blue chips? Chartered?

My main reason for being on this site is i have zero experience in pyro and to be able to build the hardware i need to know what’s going into it. i intend to only go as far as test with the pyro, i will have no involvement with the pyro side beyond that, as that would require an expert.

As for my engineering skills, most of my experience is in electronics/electrical. but i have enough skill in mechanic's and metalwork etc to produce a proto-type and local metalwork companies to produce final proto-types.

While i do very much take on board everyone’s advice, from the engineering stand point i don’t have a problem. as for the pyro, i could have got how to's from youtube.

But id probably be missing parts of my body of dead by now. my intension is to get advice and help on the correct way to do stuff.

The public will come nowhere near any of these devices with pyro i have made, only once the charges are made by a manufactures and accredited would the public come near anything.

This isn’t some get rich quick scheme, it is one for a few products that I’m hoping to start my company off the back of.
