I'm looking for a cheap way to create a trail of bullet hits in the dirt. I'm thinking of using firecrackers but i need a way to string them a few inches apart. Any thoughts or ideas are welcome.

NOw that I have found a protable airtank at K-mart for under 25 bucks I prefer using my friend's compressor to fill it and use that over the bug spayer. (150 pumps is a lot of work for an old man like me.)ADOM

Try this before you give up on air.Use seperate cans of air for each hit and seperate tubes. Pack plastic wrap with Fuller's earth or other light powder and heat seal (I saw one of those little heat sealers for about 6 bucks in Harriet Carter or some other catalog they bombard you with). Then conceal this under a light layer of sand. Fire off each hit by activating it's can. Test it first or find someone who has tried it, since I have not yet. ADOM

I put together a device which which simulated ground hits triggered by trip wires as the actor runs by. They were just modified mouse traps.Turn your mouse trap over and drilla hole where the bar that decapotates the mouse would be after it is set off.I used a 10mm drill bit to allow a 9mm dowl to fit through the hole.Use about 40mm of dowl.cock the mouse trap and tape it.
Put the dowl thruogh the hole and glue a piece of card to the top and bottom. This will stop the dowl flying out when the spring is released.
On to the place where the itty bitty piece of cheese goes tie a piece of thread.When this thread is pulled the spring is released snaps overand pushes the dowl up.This action will throw your dirt up in the air.make a little box that the trap is the top of and
bury it on location with alittle dirt sprinkled on top .put a good bit on top of the dowl and tie the piece of thread to somthing accross the path of the action and when this is pulled whammo.
