I wasn't giving legal advice... just pointing out one can purchase the
targets (not make them). Be legal and obey all laws... if you have to
purchase through someone with a FFL make sure the transfer is legal (or even
possible) and be responsible. Good advice Bob. But this did start out as a
"timing" project thread. I just wanted to explain IF one can legally
purchase these, they are available. I do not and did not suggest in any way
that anyone makes explosives or do anything illegal. If someone is going to
use these, I hope they have the smarts to know and understand the laws
applicable to them. Always read and understand your local laws regarding
purchase, ownership, and use of anything.
I am not giving legal advice on anything.

Be careful about giving legal advice. These are not legal where I live.
Making explosives in any quantity is legal at a federal level in all 50
states without any kind of license but those darn states and cities make
laws to restrict that. Mixing tannerite turns it into a federally, state,
and locally regulated explosive which means at a very minimum the federal
laws apply. This means no transporting it, storing it, buying it, selling
it, etc. without an ATF license (this would fall under "manufacturing"
regs
which are related to commerce, not a physical act of mixing). This means
if
you mix it at home and transport to a range, you go to prison. Mix at
the
range and hold onto it over night, you go to prison. Throw it down range,
can't find it, get caught, go to prison.
Google for the ATF "Orange Book" that covers almost anything you want to
know on the subject but it's only at the federal level. Always check
state
and local laws before toying with this stuff. Prison doesn't sound like a
lot of fun to me.
Also, I noticed that the thread degenerated into nothing having to do with
time measurement. I tend to restrict myself but felt I really needed to
point out that "legal" in one place doesn't make it legal everywhere all
of
the time.
