No, a pellet gun's no fun, just shattered glass -- not an explosion. Think, how could we increase the pressure inside that bottle....hmmm...pressure vs volume...liquids and gases expand when heated....I think you get the idea!

I think it will explode, the pellet would fracture the glass which would be a weak spot which the internal pressure would rip apart. The strength would vary depending on the amount of pressure.
If the bottle was open or empty then yes it would just shatter.
 
I think you should keep the bottle in your pocket tomorrow... You know, just to jazz things up.
 
^^ First thread I ever read on here where somebody tried to make a bottle blow. Nerves of steel or mind of clay but either way seems you are the first to try this.. and BTW, I know your mind's not made of clay. Stay safe! Good luck, or as Passepawn said "worst of luck".


Let's see that baby blow!
 
Almost poetic? How's this! :)


Will this stubborn cider bottle blow?

Possibly maim you and for us play a show?

I have real mixed feelings about all of that,

Just hope you'll be wearing goggles and a cap.

Plus gloves, body armor, maybe a helmet too,

While you keep handling that explosive brew.

Good luck hairy brown beast keep (Bull?) singing the song

About things that we're scared of doing wrong.

In your dangerous adventures we escape

Be carefull of that bottle for goodness sake.
 
Getting poetic now I see? Hows this
Too much carb?
Try shaking, or sit in the sun
Run, brown beast
My stab at a haiku for this thread. Pretty good for being awake for 10 minuets....
 
Ha ha awesome!

With bottle in hand, I grab thy neck
I give it a shake, what the heck
Will it go just one more day?
Or will it blow? Some might say
Bottle bombs, WMD's and IED's too
These were some names given to you
I handle with care as I pry you open
What? No boom? You must be jokin;)
 
Who is this psycho, playing with bombs?
Me thinkest he must have been hitting the bong

It started when young, on this we can bet
Sticking his fork in the electrical outlet

Where will this end? Only god knows...
His logins may stop when that bottlebomb blows!
 
Hahahahhaha oh sh!t!

bacteria from my cider got into my brain
I'm comfortably numb and feel no pain
If this bottle decides she wants to blow
She better not charge me, that stanky Ho

So here I go, wish me luck
Gonna open this bitch
Like I don't give a phuck
I might die performing this part
Glass shards may fly
Rippin my ass apart
But if I succeed and all is good
I'll drink this sh!t like a woodchuck would

So here It is and I'm still alive
Bottle bombs are a bunch of jive
What happened you ask?
Well it was no big deal
I've had more action making a fat pig squeal
 
In all honesty it was tasty. A little to bubbly for me but still good. And as far as the "pop" when I opened it... Very uneventful. Actually weaker than some of my other ones I've opened. I guess either the concentrate didn't get mixed evenly or something, I have no clue. But I'm not afraid of bottle bombs any longer;) plus those were some of the cheapest, thin looking bottles I've ever used. No offense to Northern Brewer ( that's where I purchased them) but those bottles kinda had me worried when I received them.
 
What! NO BOOM! Come on! Somebody's gotta blow something up! We can't just let it end like this!
 
Do you like my car bed? Pretty cool, huh? Yooper's probably going to ban me now since I'm obviously 15 years old.

Totally busted. TX will probably overlook it though, to keep getting your 25 bucks ;)
