        <![CDATA[Fakery on this one. You can see a brief cut in the video.<br />
<br />
I remember&nbsp;a guy (SGT)&nbsp;in Korea that took the powder out of a bunch of pyro and blank ammo, then proceded to light said powder with a cigarette.<br />
<br />
The resulting burn to his hand was rather nasty.<br />
<br />
The CO&nbsp;said that if he stayed out in the field and didn't go crying back to the rear, he would forget about the Article 15 that he would throw his way.<br />
<br />
The Docs had to drain the fluid out of his wounds every day for the next couple of weeks, rebandage the burn, etc.<br />
Dude was in some serious pain.<br />
<br />
I don't think he ever had an issue with playing with pyro ever again.<br />
