FUmiYAsu Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 I want to make something fun to shoot. I've always liked watching concrete blocks exploding after being shot by real guns.. So I wonder whether I could create the same effect with mixing a really weak cement. However I am no good at DIY. So does anyone know whether I could actually get a cement mix this weak that it explodes even when it's shot by a AEG? It would be nice if it breaks in to tiny pieces and powder instead of just break off into two pieces... Any ideas? Thanks btw, sorry for making two threads but the other one didn't work for some reason and no text appeared after I submited the thread.. Link to post Share on other sites
sp00n Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 lots of water and air, not alot of sand and concrete. you want it to be as thin as possible, airsoft guns dont have very much force. Link to post Share on other sites

If you are looking at a block though, I wouldn't really suggest it. Ricochets seem a little too likely. Hope this helps! Link to post Share on other sites

cpaxton Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 You can get chalk targets for air rifles which explode when shot, they might work. Buy them here! Link to post Share on other sites

FUmiYAsu Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Thanks for all the replies.... I am not really looking for sugar glass since i want a more powdery/dusty effect. the chalk targets does sound nice but it saids on the site that "It is not suitable for BB." Have anyone tried them before? It would be perfect if it works since it's 84 disks for £5. I will probably give the cement a try first. probably this weekend... Link to post Share on other sites

If they are the same, they work fine. Link to post Share on other sites

FUmiYAsu Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 which size one did you used? the 45mm or 24mm? Link to post Share on other sites

FUmiYAsu Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I will probably buy the 45mm first (for GBBs). I will place an order with them tomorrow and post a video of shooting them if anyone's interested... I can't believe they charge £5 for shipping... Link to post Share on other sites

The little ones just disappear in a puff of white smoke after a hit, the 45s may chip a little Link to post Share on other sites
