what's the safest way to blow up a GIJOE vehicle?

[nunchuk]

For my action figure movie, I want to have a GIJOE vehicle (well it's actually a Corps vehicle) blow up. It's about the same size of the GIJOE APC. What is the safest way to make this thing explode without endangering myself or anyone else? I was thinking firecrackers but I've never used one and I don't know which ones are good or where to buy them.

personally i would use gas mixed with styrofoam(sp) to make it into a jelly, so it can be put inside the vehicle (and stay in). I would also use those little smoke fireworks (littls ball that shoots out smoke) i would use a few of them. And to set it all off a pair of M80s (or just gunpowder) it may be considered dangerous but if you take care it will be safe

Ummm....correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that Napalm?

I wouldn't use firecrackers though, I once tried to blow up one of the Street Fighter vehicles with bundles of firecrackers (up to 8 at a time) and the most that happened is it got black and the hood popped off (But that always happened, even without firecrackers )

The simplest explosion you could make would be with dry ice, but you won't get any flames with it.

***edit
Took out some details, the glass isn't very safe for kids to try.
