Best Fruit, Melon, or Vegetable to Blow to Bits!!

Heated up 2-liter soda bottles blow up real nice

We like to go to the desert on a hot day and let 2-liter soda bottles heat up in the sun. Give them an hour to sit there while you do other shooting. Then they really explode nice.

We know the thread is about fruit, etc., but we could not resist.

Here's a YouTube video of one of our last trips to the desert blowing up 2-liter soda bottles: http://youtu.be/gir_RBveJXA

Have fun.

Going through the thread, I was thinking about the Osage orange "hedge apples." When I was a kid, my Boy Scout troop had a rifle campout, and someone brought a basket full of Osage oranges (as we called them). Someone demonstrated blowing them up with a rifle of some sort (don't remember what) and then we all started shooting them with our .22s. Not the same thing. The bullets when straight through, the oranges got oozy, but they didn't fly apart. They didn't even roll off the post. I was very disappointed.

If you want to blow up a hedge apple, I suggest something centerfire.

Little watermelon shot by these guys...

I found a forgotten 6-pack of pudding cups in the back of the fridge a couple of weeks ago. They were more fun when shot through the plastic cup rather than the foil lid.

There are some expired cans of chili that have a date with destiny in the next week or two. I don't know what they will do.

And here's anther vote for Grapefruit.

taters are nice.

Anyone grow their own watermelons.
Well the runts that don't turn out to well, are AWESOME.

Cans of shaving cream, too.

Should be a pretty good supply of Cant-a-lopes these days, seeing how they've been poisoning folks and all. Just watch out for the spray when they explode from a 7.62x54r.

Potatoes can be very entertaining with smaller calibers. I shot one with a .22 from about 10ft. I endes up coverd in little pieces of potato. With larger calibers, they become a white mist.
