I’ve never seen the stuff in real life, but if I recall correctly, Tannerite isn’t just a shock-sensitive explosive. It’s a binary explosive; you have to mix two components before it becomes a shock-sensitive explosive, which lets you store the stuff safely.
That looks like a sealed, commercially-made jar of the stuff, so I assume that whatever is in that jar probably is only one binary component of the shock-sensitive explosive, and that shooting it isn’t going to do a lot other than making a big mess.

Tannerite is a brand of binary explosive targets used for firearms practice and sold in kit form.[1][2] The targets comprise a combination of oxidizers and a fuel, primarily aluminium powder, that is supplied as two separate components that are mixed by the user. The combination is relatively stable when subjected to forces less severe than a high-velocity bullet impact. A hammer blow, the product being dropped, or impact from a low-velocity bullet or shotgun blast will not initiate a reaction. It is also designed to be non-flammable[3] (the reaction cannot be triggered by a burning fuse or electricity), although its explosion can ignite flammable material.

Yeah, here’s a video of someone mixing the stuff.

Assuming that they’re using correct proportions, the mixed stuff is apparently gray pellets (white pellets plus gray powder). The stuff in the image is white, unmixed.

This also looks gray:
Pistol round most likely won’t set it off either. Needs to be higher velocity.
Yeah typically you need a rifle round to set this stuff off.
Depends on the pistol and how the binary is packaged. Some hot 9mm can do the trick, but you need north of 2,000fps for reliable ignition.

Sorry, but I don’t have monitors with that high a refresh rate.
Peasant, you have no idea what Minecraft actually looks like.
I still sometimes think about an FPSRussia video where he shoots something loaded with tannerite and a huge chunk of metal got blown away toward him and only narrowly missed by a few inches. IIRC, the camera operator wasn’t so lucky though.
He’s done shooting stuff IIRC. Someone murdered his friend and I think that was that for him
I had forgotten about him until now. I think the last thing I remember was him getting arrested for, wait for it, guns. I could have all of that completely wrong, and please correct me if so
Edit: Wiki Link.
Relevant bits: it looks like he continued filming for around 3 years after the murder of the team member that acquired the weapons for them. FPSRussia was raided twice, the second time for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, and consequentially they took 50 of his guns. Again, long week, but that’s what I got out of it.
I don’t think the camera operator was injured. If he was, it wasn’t enough to stop filming
“Let’s get a nice big explosion, maybe a little shrapnel going”
I need a link to that STL.
Gotta have somewhere to put your pop between shots.
Edit: This was the best I could find.
Might have to remix a cupholder and combine it with a barrel attachment.
Edit 2: it has been a rough fucking week. I didn’t see that it said truck, and I don’t mess with guns enough.
