Good question. Exactly what is the competition based on?
Anyway, guys love blowing things up and this is pretty much on that basis. Gotta watch that black powder though. Powerful and unpredictable stuff.

Very cool..although I don't know that I'd be leaning in that close to the anvil while lighting that fuse. I think I'd rather light it from afar. Black powder is pretty touchy..and if that thing blew while he was leaning into it..well, I think that video would be in the Darwin Award category.
I've flown some burn patients down to Augusta that have messed around with gunpowder in unusual ways...
Cool video though..(incoming!!!)
