I took like 3 of my dads shotgun shels, empied the gun powder and poured it into a small water bottle. I emtied a bunch of bb's in it(150 or so, till it filled up), then i lit it in my back yard. I thought i would be safe about 10 feet away, util a bunch of bb's hit me. They didn't hurt that bad but it scared the crap out of me...

me and a couple friends have bottle rocket wars. we have pvc pipes, light the fuses, drop them in, aim and let rip. i got hit in the calf and back. it is soooo fun. sort-of sucks tho when the explode right next to you and u dont expect it!

yesterday, i shot a bottle rocket off our grill and it hit a wooden deck-post. the top flew off, and the stick hit the post with such force it flew in about 2 mm and stuck in horizontal. made me wonder what would happen if it hit bare skin...
