Safety matches have a chemical in the match head, that needs to be connected with one in the striking strip, I don't think you could do it like this. Swan vestas though, they can be struck with friction, and originally it was phospherous (I believe) coated with wax; rub the wax off, start the reaction.

When I first saw the post I thought it was about actually using match sticks as ammo. When I was a kid, long ago we use to take an empty wooden sewing thread spool and tape a rubber band to it and shoot strike on anything matches through the spool hole. Actually worked.

We made match shooters out of cloths pins the ones with the springs,it was like a litle pistol it would lite the stick match and launch it about 15 feet or more.

Bringing back memories, how about linoleam guns, same thing with the spring close pin release to launch a small piece of flooring material that was laid between the rubber bands attached to a wood pistol frame. Never knew where the tile was going as it was flat and really caught the wind.

For sure. As for the question was it a safety match answer yes it was but you will have to excuse me I am losing it a bit just lately and never thought of that.

Could you use the large white tipped kitchen matches and light them up with your shot?

Gonna need alot of patience and a lorry load of polo's I think,I have some slingshots to finish and a car to sell hopefully give it a go this week,I have stuck the polo's to a peice of cardboard without thinking, the carboard is white

but I have a solution to this problem I will colour the holes in with a black marker pen.

Winning the lottery is about 14million to one I have more chance of hitting that than doing this but then again never say never.
