To whom this may concern, "DISCOVERED THESE BY CHANCE ON EBAY" Several months ago discovered these whilst buying arrows and bolts,(Im a N Irish archery enthusiast) They really are great fun screwed on top of a pressurised cola bottle with a drop of water in it, Colossal bang,water water everywhere and not a drop to drink,lol When using, use wooden shafts,(plastic ones fracture) They can be used,over,and over and over again, Tip-use the ring hole top to secure down,if you dont the bottle top will travel considerable distances,and you may loose it, Follow the instructions for inflating the bottle very carefully using a wet towel, Dad should supervise this!!!!! Lastly Enjoy-guaranteed to put a smile on you face fondest regards

At 45 pounds of pressure the bottle does move about when you hit it, but not like dramatically. Maybe 60 pounds is needed? More than 60? To be able to quickly withdraw the inflation needle, insert it through a fender washer. The washer, needle, and air tool can all be held with 2 fingers and a thumb and yanked out in one quick motion once your pressure is reached..

lbrty2 is 100% correct--these are way fun and VERY loud. The first one we shot was a 2 liter in our backyard. We are in a regular neighborhood, and the family next door was watching us through their window. When my son shot this with his BB gun, the sound was like a bomb going off. It was awesome! Definitely not something we will do again until we are in the woods or a field. The neighbors thought it was hilarious, but they're cool and we wouldn't want to make a habit of it. haha! The only downside is if you have to pump it with a bicycle pump. It works just fine, but it takes a while to get it to 110psi. Next time I will use an air compressor that plugs into my truck 9V DC. They are not cheap, but they seem solid and will last many uses. I will have to wait until after Christmas and I might order some more--when I have extra funds again. :PRead full review

A FRIEND AND I BOUGHT SOME OF THESE. WE ARE IN A RURAL AREA. THE FIRST ONE I TRIED WAS A 16 OZ ROOT BEER BOTTLE FILLED TO 90 PSI. SHOT IT WITH A PELLET GUN...SOUNDED LOUDER THAN A 12 GAUGE ! USE YOUR HEAD AND WEAR GLOVES AND EYE/EAR PROTECTION. 2 LITER BOTTLES AT 110 PSI IS EVEN LOUDER! SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR BIG AFTERNOON FUN!

This item is as it describes and works as well. I found with using this product that you need to hold the inflating needle in kinda hard to acheive the needed psi in most bottles. The smaller the bottle the harder it is to reach over 60 psi. In small bottles you do need at least 70 psi to make it work well. This is a fun reactive target and it does make some noise when they go off.

Safer, and maybe better than tannerite, these things sound like a cannon going off! Believe me, you'll be keeping and collecting empty soft drink bottles from the first time you use one of these. They're amazing!

They work as designed. If you have enough pressure in the bottles the explosion is pretty loud. They can be destroyed if they hit a rock before reaching the end of the cord. Setting them vertical helps prevent this.

Great product. Quite loud. If using with anything besides a firearm (something you wouldnt normally wear hearing protection with) make sure you protect your ears!

These things are pretty fun. I have not found a bottle that will not withstand 115psi, which seems to be the sweet spot. These give 2L bottles a new life!
