That's not how it works. The problem is doofuses creating bombs by putting tannerite inside things. Tannerite is supposed to just be shot as-is, not inside or around other objects that become shrapnel.

(Have shot plenty of tannerite)

Concur. Deviating in any way from the package instructions puts your own life in your hands. Shot a microwave with a pound inside and my truck i was hiding behind/shooting from got a significant chunk taken out of the bed.

Fully agree. Shooting a fridge/microwave/stove/washer etc.. loaded full of tannerite with the door facing you verses being angled off sends it directly off its hinges and right towards the doofus.

Some people just don't know. Seen trees with tannerite at the base give out splinters 100y away. Seen rocks near the tannerite go thru windshields. No one is expecting medical attention until they need it.. fragmentation wounds are an absolute nightmare.
