I have some 9 ounce yoohoo bottles and was wondering if I could use them for anything other than throwing them away. I cant use them as ammo and I dont know if they would hold enough pressure to make a mini combustion out of it. any Ideas on what to do with them

I wouldnt try, the actual glass bottle could hold the pressure but when you drilled the holes for ignition the holes would either cause an explosion (bottle boom burn hospital) Or keep getting bigger and weaker. Just use em as targets its what I do :lol: .

If I did try I wouldnt drill holes in the bottle, I would probably drill holes at the very bottom of the barrel and stick the wires in the bottle through there, but i wouldnt try

Thats a good idea, could work if you did that but I wouldnt. I it went not only would you be hit by a ball of fire a cloud of glass shards would slash your face :shock:.

I wasnt seriously thinking about using it for a chamber, but thought I would post something about a chamber in case it was possible to use it

This is kind of a long-shot idea, but you could use the bottle for an ammo mold. You could pour whatever substance (Bondo) into the bottle and let it set. Once it had set and was ready, just break the glass and remove the ammo. Since you said you can't use the bottle themselves as ammo, you probably can't use the mold right out of the bottle. But with some fabrication and modifications, the overall shape is already aerodynamic and can be shaped to fit your barrel. Just a thought.

ya, we'll see, I'll probably just throw them out, or give them to a friend to do something cool with them

What you have just described is a felony in the United States. Molotov Cocktails are concidered deadly incindiary devices and possession can lead to jail time. Good job.
