I have thought of this for a while, and wondering if any of you warped children have as well:

What about filling an arrow shaft with powder and inserting a primer in the tip insert?

I shot light anywhere matches out of my Crossman pellet gun wrapped in tin foil and a bit of gun powder from .22 ammo...

I shot some kind of primers out of my Crosman CO2 revolver. They blew up when they hit the curb. It didn't take a lot to keep me entertained, just something blowing up.  ;D

Mikes loaded arrows should work great since they will still be balanced, just heavier.

This is one my son made. He had a friend at a machine shop turn the barrel on a lathe.




Here it is after paint, actually shooting a projectile (paper wrapped in duct tape). It made a good dent on the barrel. The other larger dent is from a neighbors cannon that shot a sock wrapped in tape.




This is the neighbors home-built cannon.... 2" heavy wall pipe with a plug. It knocked the barrel over.




This 15 pounds of tannerite (neighbor's son, home on leave from USAF doing the shooting).



45 pounds... the camera doesn't do it justice.....it shook a clock off my aunt's wall 500 yards away.
Yes...she was pissed.

What happens?  Have thought of 3 possibilities...assuming the powder ignites..

1.  It acts like a torch burning what ever it is stuck in.
2.  It acts like a rocket and shoots the arrow back the way it came.
3.  It explodes with the arrow becoming shrapnel.

Back a bunch of years ago when I worked in a muffler shop,We made a tennis ball cannon out of exhaust pipe powered by Oxy/Acetylene it had a 24 inch barrel with a 4 inch gas chamber,was adjustable for elevation.First (and last) time we fired it off it snet a tennis ball about 10 blocks (we were in a small city)We lit the torch to get the correct mixture then shut the tanks off at the valve,the held the tip in the gas chamber and opened both valves at the same time.Then used the torch to light it.Made a real loud Whoomph and the ball was on it's way.we shut the doors and hid it before the police came around.Have no idea where it ended up but it was pretty cool.
