We offer three types of classes:

High Explosive Demonstration Event: This 1-hour class focuses on the different types of HE, different types of firing lines, different types of detonators, and the different types of initiators. This class allows students to get a basic understanding of what different types of HE looks like and how it is used. There will be 4 detonations (firings) done by the instructor during the class.

Introduction to High Explosives Class: This 8-hour class focuses on the hands-on use of different types of HE, different types of firing lines, different types of detonators, and the different types of initiators. This 8-hour class is HANDS-ON and will instruct students on the safe handling and use of multiple types of High Explosives (HE). For the first hour in the Intro class, students will be instructed on the history of HE, types of HE, types of detonators, types of firings, proper handling, and lastly storage requirements. The remaining 7 hours will be direct hands-on use of HE, including laying the firing line, placing the charge, arming with detonators (aka blasting caps) and then the actual firing of multiple types of charges. All firings and setups will be done by students under the close direct supervision of an experienced instructor. Classes are limited to allow every attendee the chance to handle, set up, and detonate multiple firings. Drinks and lunch will be provided.

Advanced Usage of High Explosives Class: This 8-hour class focuses on the hands-on use of multiple delayed firings, directional charges, shape charges, penetrating water charges, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) of a suspected briefcase IED, and the construction and detonation of a real Claymore mine. The Advance Class will have a refresher training for the first 1 hour and then 7 hours of advanced training. Note: The intro Class is a prerequisite of the Advanced Usage class. Classes are limited to allow every attendee the chance to handle, set up, and detonate multiple firings. Drinks and lunch will be provided.

All attendees must be 18 years old with a valid driver license, and be able to pass a Federal Background Check, and be a US Citizen.

Class Rules: Absolutely NO cell phone usage permitted during class. Hard hats, safety glasses, and ear protection will be worn at all times and will be provided at no cost, however students are encouraged to bring their own.

NOTE: Washington County Machine Guns holds multiple ATF Licenses including the coveted Federal Manufacturer of High Explosive License (FEL Type 20) as well as FFL Licenses 07 & 10, plus SOT type 02.

Weather Dependent: The safe use of High Explosives requires that there is no lightning, therefor classes may be rescheduled if lightning is forecasted within 24 hours of class start time.

Washington County Machine Guns is stepping up our game to allow civilians the experience of High Explosives that up until now was limited to the military, including setting off Claymore Mines, M67 Grenades, C4, and much much more. Today we accepted delivery of 96 military grade M213 grenade fuzes for our M67 Grenade production. We will be using these on our next Advanced Usage of High Explosive Class in September.
