QuestionCould I shoot one of these from a slingshot? If so, would it still ignite when it hits something?Community AnswerYes. It really honestly doesn't matter what you shoot it from, it just matters that it hits the ground and bursts into flames.
-
QuestionCan it hurt people or other animals?Community AnswerPossibly, so don't throw them at people or animals just to be sure.
-
QuestionHow destructive are these? And how destructive could they be?Community AnswerIf you do this in a dry field with dry grass on a summer day then these will start a field fire and that can spread and destroy a lot of ground, sometimes even buildings.

QuestionCan it melt steel beams?Community AnswerNo.
-
QuestionCan I add other things to make it change color?Christian McCommunity AnswerYes, copper powder should add a bluish-green color to the flame: copper powder will need less heat to burn its impurities and heats up faster for a better effect.

QuestionHow effective would this be for school trash cans?CowboiCommunity AnswerIt doesn't create a very big explosion, so not very effective. It's also very illegal to bring explosives to school.
-
QuestionWould it change how big the fire or the flame would be if I added more layers of match heads to the rows?Community AnswerYes, but the bigger the fire, the bigger the danger. So just in case, only add a little more.
-
QuestionHow high will the flame get?Community AnswerSince it is not a gas bomb, it will go 1-3 feet up, depending on the number of the match heads.
-
QuestionWhat is wrong if my match box bomb doesn't explode sometimes?Community AnswerYou may have added too many layers of tape so it's too tight. I suggest redoing it with less tape.
-
QuestionTo make the exploding fireball, do I have to hit it with an object, or can I just throw it on the floor or wall?Community AnswerAs the tutorial said, you can do both.
-
QuestionWhat if you don't have the right size match box?Community AnswerYou can't really have a wrong matchbox size. The smaller the matchbox, the smaller the matches and the bigger the box, the bigger the matches are. It should work with any matchbox size.
-
QuestionCan it work with a lighter?Community AnswerYes, but be extremely cautious since it will ignite very quickly. If you were to hold it in your hand while lighting it, it would ignite and burn your hand.
-
QuestionHow many layers of tape should I wrap the fireball with?Community AnswerWrap until there are no gaps. Be careful not to wrap it too tightly, because it could be harder to ignite.
