    I'm thinking it's a small dab of one or another fulminate or Armstrong's mixture such as was in the paper roll caps we played with.Does anyone know where you can buy those roll caps?

    I have seen them from time to time. There are tons online. Your best bet is to try walmart/toy store or a dollar store.

    Oh that gives me an idea. Taping a strip of caps to a post and shooting at it. I wonder if I'm a good enough of a shot to hit a single cap at 10 yds?

    That's a great idea! Gunzlaw discovered that the small caps held in plastic circular clips are EXACTLY .177 in size and can be placed on pellets. I don't remember if they go bang when they hit something or when exiting the barrel.

    Used to be they would show hits or you would take an arm or leg off. With the new cheaper plastic, they shatter into bits, even with non pal guns
