Alright........You take the tennis ball and cut a small hole in it. Now the scary bit.....you then cut the heads off of the "strike anywhere" matches and start packing them into the tennis ball. Just be careful not to let any of them make each other light!!!!!! Once it is packed full, all it takes is throwing it at something. The matches rub together and light, which creates gas, which can't all escape through the little hole you made and.........BOOM!!!!!

I always preferred black powder myself. Far less dangerous as long as you took the correct precautions.

 

YEAH!!! Now...off to the tennis court to play against my girlfriend.

 

Luke - That's a helluva lot of donor matches for one tennis ball!

 

I know. You have to make sure it's pretty full or you won't get enough gas. I started out with paper matches as my first bomb. Dry ice bombs are cool too! Man...heh heh heh....I used to take out 6 inch trees with black powder.

 

Luke, you destructive little boy, you.

 

We used to get two large bolts the same size and one nut that fitted on to them.

Thread the first bolt into the nut about 1 turn, then fill the nut about half full with match heads (light anywhere type agian) and then CAREFULLY thread the other bolt on until it rests on the top if the matches........

Throw the resulting "bolt bomb" and run.

If you got one of the bolts loose enough, it will be shot quite a distance when the matches ignite so watch out!!!!
