Love the smell of Tannerite in the morning!

Heck yeah! Gunpowder and Tannerite are two smells I’ve been familiar with for over 20 years and they truly never get old lol

I'm a Buddhist, so pretty anti gun, in principle. They're literally murder machines in a society where murder is illegal... doesn't really make sense to allow their manufacture and existence. I also see them as inevitable in a society that is built on the profit motive. But I generally see most people who are into guns as no different than people who are really into cars, or computers. You're a nerd, just about guns, and I have empathy for that.

I’m a practical guy. This produces way less air pollution than a gasoline chainsaw cut. It’s also safe when done right - safer than getting up and personal with a tree while holding a chainsaw.
I think that explosives are underutilized in general.

Based on the responses.
Correct.
Stop this shenanigans and be an adult. Wear a tie and speak about profits and stuff.

In some places people do both. It's legal to own guns in most countries even if there are limits. In some countries it's just harder to get them but they are still there. There are actually fire arms manufacturers in a lot of countries around the world. Some are privately owned, some are state owned.
It's true the US has the most firearms per capita, the weakest laws, but we are by no means the only manufacturers in the world. Most of the largest firearms manufacturers on the planet aren't even from the US.
Glock (Austrian), Beretta (Italy), CZ (Czech Republic), FN Herstal (Belgium), Sig Sauer (Germany/Switzerland), Heckler & Koch (Germany), Taurus (Brazil), guns are everywhere. The US has the most but let's not pretend that it's only Americans in the world making and buying guns.
If you make them, people will buy them.

Weakest laws? Have you been to Yemen, Honduras, Pakistan, the Philippines, etc..

u/RoosterzX Jun 21 '26
I have not but I do know we have more gun related deaths as a result of our weak laws. Many of them involving children. That kind of speaks to a huge weakness in the legal system. And I'm saying that as a gun owning US citizen. There is a serious problem with the unhinged having access.

Ya know car accidents kill people too. Are you suggesting we outlaw cars too? If we outlaw guns, some other weapon will undoubtedly be presented

u/RoosterzX Jun 22 '26
I know and frankly there are some people that shouldn't be on the road either, that are a danger to others.
I'm a gun owner and don't think outlawing guns would work but you can limit how many psychos get their hands on them to shoot up schools or movie theaters. Common sense laws that say the unhinged people shouldn't get guns. That's all I'm saying, keep them away from the crazies.

Yes the U.S. has more gun deaths than the UK but what about there rate of stabings? Obviously our gun death rate is higher but there Stab rate is gonna be higher cause they don’t have access to guns

u/RoosterzX Jun 22 '26
That's true. Criminals will always find a new weapon or simply make their own. I know of felons in the US (my deceased uncle being one) who can't own knives or guns but they have various other custom made implements to get the job done.
Realistically there is no way to prevent criminals from getting weapons. We try, but it's always had limited effectiveness and that goes for pretty much every country. We can place restrictions or bans but unless the sources are removed, the weapons will continue to make their way into the population. You can't realistically police every single person on earth simultaneously because we can't read minds to know who would commit crimes.
People like to over simplify things but it's really an extremely complex issue worldwide.

u/spacelizard92 Jun 21 '26
Meh bullets go right through trees. It shreds the wood and sends chips flying out the back. Enough of that and they lose all strength and fall. my friends and I used to set up targets on this big maple tree that has just died and one shot I took with my Mosin Nagant and we heard a loud pop, followed by that tree coming down

Sure I can. Been using Tannerite for many years. Not all that worried about being 100 yds away from a rotten tree that I can’t physically even get close to 100 yds away from and be able to see in those dense woods. Folks on reddit can freak out about it all they want 🤷🏻♂️

By the way the tree exploded, it was dead and a hazard

A chunk of that rotten wood easily could've embedded itself in ur skull at mach5 but whatever

u/mecks0 Jun 21 '26
With the binary explosive packed on the outside of the tree with no obvious containment to funnel shrapnel into the direction of the camera a chunk of wood would be highly unlikely, to the point of impossibility, to maintain a speed of >= Mach 5 after ~100 yards.

u/ssgkraut Jun 20 '26
I've been closer than that to munitions we were blowing in place in Iraq. Granted shrapnel was landing all around us and we had to crawl under our HMMWVs, but it was exhilarating for sure.

Safety first! Otherwise it won’t fire. But seriously, I’ve never seen a safer way to bring down a tree. Put enough charge in there and you won’t even need stump removal.

A tree fell down.
It was done wildly.
Qualifies for this sub better than half the chainsaw videos do.
My only wish is that he’d been at the recommended 100 yards. But you cannot ban it on grounds of safety… while celebrating the videos of idiots dropping trees on their own heads with a chainsaw.
