Looks like fun a again. Can you share some of your secrets in the making of this video and the story behind it Phil?

There is a brief description with it but what would you like to know dude?

I ma interested in the pyrotechnic side of things, what did you use to create the first hit, and sequence the subsequent explosions.

Without giving too many secrets away of course!

The first hit was from a rifle which creates enough friction to get the fuel going, so the fuse train gos like this, hit/fuel/quickmatch/slow burn nitro fuse/black powder lifting charge/pyrotechnic projectile from pressure tube/pyro effect; smoke/flash bang x50

well done, took the old eyballs a few seconds to focus on the fact that you were not cutting from old film to models...very impressive.

Thanks for the interest Chuck,when you get a minute take a look at the others on the magpiespyro channel Phil
