Ha! "Recreational bombing isn't what it used to be." -Aint that the truth.

I'm not a gun-owner either, but when I was a kid I always enjoyed shooting guns. We would go out to my grandpa's in the winter time and take a bunch of 5 gallon buckets, fill them with water and let them freeze over night. The next day we would empty the big blocks of ice and then shoot at them from a distance.

It was a lot of fun to watch them explode. We would use a .22 rifle.

As for making fertilizer bombs, I have never experienced anything like that. The closest I have come is attaching a cherry bomb to a GI Joe and watching it demolish Cobra Commander. -those were the good 'ol days.
