I've never seen the stuff in real life, but if I recall correctly, Tannerite isn't just a shock-sensitive explosive. It's a binary explosive; you have to mix two components before it becomes a shock-sensitive explosive, which lets you store the stuff safely.

That looks like a sealed, commercially-made jar of the stuff, so I assume that whatever is in that jar probably is only one binary component of the shock-sensitive explosive, and that shooting it isn't going to do a lot other than making a big mess.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannerite

Tannerite is a brand of binary explosive targets used for firearms practice and sold in kit form.[1][2] The targets comprise a combination of oxidizers and a fuel, primarily aluminium powder, that is supplied as two separate components that are mixed by the user. The combination is relatively stable when subjected to forces less severe than a high-velocity bullet impact. A hammer blow, the product being dropped, or impact from a low-velocity bullet or shotgun blast will not initiate a reaction. It is also designed to be non-flammable[3] (the reaction cannot be triggered by a burning fuse or electricity), although its explosion can ignite flammable material.

Yeah, here's a video of someone mixing the stuff.

Assuming that they're using correct proportions, the mixed stuff is apparently gray pellets (white pellets plus gray powder). The stuff in the image is white, unmixed.

This also looks gray:

Pistol round most likely won't set it off either. Needs to be higher velocity.

[-] SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Yeah typically you need a rifle round to set this stuff off.

Depends on the pistol and how the binary is packaged. Some hot 9mm can do the trick, but you need north of 2,000fps for reliable ignition.

Sorry, but I don't have monitors with that high a refresh rate.

Peasant, you have no idea what Minecraft actually looks like.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
