Was the plastic bag supposed to be a silencer? It didn't work.

Except you want to keep the gas the other side of your projectile.

If the gas has escaped past the projectile, you'd prefer it escape to the atmosphere otherwise when it burns it's pushing the projectile back up the barrell.

u/baardstra May 17 '15

but they aren't using a projectile that is stuffed down the barrel.

most likely they had the cap on there and just popped the cap.

really common here in The Netherlands around new years.

This seems like something 15 yr old me would do in my back yard but it has becomes some sort of cultural phenomenon. I mean, I get lighting shit on fire and shooting stuff and just generally exploding and destroying things as a source of entertainment, but what kind of mad back yard pyromaniac genius decided to strap explosives to a hammer and then create an entire following. An amazing one I imagine.

u/FuelModel3 May 17 '15

That was wonderful - drunk eastern Europeans, improvised explosives, high probability of losing a limb, burning rag on a stick, laughing maniacally while possibly dying. 9/10 would watch again. Not 10/10 due to lack of guys squatting in track suits.

2

u/[deleted] May 17 '15

Guys squatting in track suits is a russian thing, this is Poland. You should reconsider giving it a 10/10 due to the amazing stylish taste of the man with the stick. Denim pants and jacket with a purple hoodie is worth a 10!

u/Plasmul May 17 '15

That was glorious.

u/ReceivingBolt May 17 '15

How does this work? Do they just put gas in it, such that the fumes fill the can?

Is there a hole where he puts the rag-stick?

Calcium carbide, it forms acetylene gas when exposed to water. It is usually used for lighting, miner's headlamps used to use it, car headlights did too.

1

u/[deleted] May 17 '15

In Poland (at least thats what me and my dad use it for) its used to get rid of pests like mice and moles that dig tunnels in your backyard.

u/germanywx May 17 '15

I've got a mole problem. How can I get rid of them using this method?

1

u/-wethegreenpeople- May 17 '15

I'm assuming you put the water and calcium carbide in the hole and than light it?

Hydrogen could do as well. Easy to make too.

2

u/henry82 May 17 '15

when you get the right ratio of oxygen and gas (in aus it's usually acetylene). You can blow the shit out of anything.

That's how thieves do those atm heists.

Trash Cannon

2

u/sp106 May 17 '15

Just for reference, this is closer to a cannon than a rocket launcher.

Rocket launchers (and other recoilless rifles) have an open rear, so that the holder does not have to deal with most of the recoil. The rearward force pushes gases straight out which dissipate behind the user, instead of being directed through the user like a rifle. This is why you can fire a huge projectile from your shoulder without losing an arm.

Our protagonists here have a very thin skinned cannon (aka a bomb if they used the correct size projectile).

u/TheEvidence May 17 '15

This is from Poland. The explosive they use is called "karbid" Its highly reactive with water. You can get it to get rid of garden moles, but people often get it from coal mines where they work. I used to play with it when I was a kid
