EGW exploding pellets

[datferretguy]

So I got ahold of some of EGW's exploding pellets, they seem to be fairly identical to the Ukrainian exploding pellets by "Tracker". I was wondering if anyone has any information on the compound used to create the effect? I'm trying to calculate energy transfer of the exploders vs standard pellets but I can't find any information about them that isn't marketing. Thanks!

I wonder how they got past WTF ( you know who ) . Technically they are fireworks or fit in the definition of firearms or ammunition for firearms.

another thing not needed for airguns.

I believe they are filled with the same compound that's in those ring caps.
I could be wrong though and perhaps it's different depending on manufacturer?

or it might just be the stuff in strike anywhere matches.

Regardless it has no effect what so ever in terms of penetration or power.

Along with the engineering and manufacturing of swaging kits for slugs, We were working on a project combining cap gun roll and a steel spinner, So as you hit the target it would make a loud crack instead of ping that you get with a normal steel target. And we had cleverly concealed an auto indexing mechanism so it would cycle a fresh cap in the roll. But we ran into the problem involving some Gun loving agencies who were concerned with the Tabaco / fireworks aspect as in the reactive target system, asserting it would cause grass to catch fire if not used responsibly... yada yada. That's why I was intrigued to find such interesting products.
