Also, the Charge used is tiny, but still I kept my distance and wore glasses. I wouldn´t advise anyone to try it though. <br />It isn´t powerfull enough to actually do any damage to a model wall...I´ve treid. it seems the reduction in scale dramatically reduces any effects. Maybe there´s an optimal Charge that could be used for an optimal Missile mass.

I don´t think I´ll use them for wargaming..the powder burns on the lawn are pretty bad, a table would catch on fire :-D<br />As a nipper I made a cannon from some Aluminium tube, ammo small lead balls. Thinking back..I was lucky that the Thing didn´t blow up in my face.
