Run at least 25 meters away from the target.

Using the highest velocity rifle cartridges you can get your hands on, shoot the jug about two inces from the bottom. I have found Reminton Accelerator rounds in 30.06 to be especially effective. Don't know if you can get them any more. These fire a .223 caliber sabotted projectile at 4080fps. You need at least 3800fps and a soft jacketed bullet to acheive the full effect.

The gallon of gas will vaporize instantaneously, and the resulting fireball will rise about fifty to a hundred feet into the air, looking like a mushroom cloud.

It's an interesting break from shooting at thin planes of reformed tree fibers.
LMAO!!! Gonna give that a try when I get bk to TX!
