All of the above.

As for blowing things up we discovered if you fill a glass jar with petrol (must be level with the top) and light it, then get back a good ways and shoot the jar with an air rifle, the resulting explosion makes a nice mushroom fireball .
Looks like a small atomic bomb going off.

Have a fire extinguisher handy.

Lol we used to do a bit of that as well. Yee haw.
Used to make incendiary pellets with strike-anywhere matchheads stuffed into the back of air rifle pellets.

The best stories don't go online though!!

Positive, I can't seem to keep one of these jars full long enough for anything like that.



Oh dear, well the top was already off.
Now look what you've made me go and do!
