About how much does it cost if it is available to the general consumer.

Since this is considered an explosive, it is likely that it would violate the user agreement contract. Is it possible to email me and tell me how to make one?

in a pinch, I saw where someone made one with a condom, washer, and fishing line
fill the condom (gross right) with your fake blood, tie off the end (like a balloon). take the washer, tie your line around it (so long as it doesn't catch the light)... superglue the washer to the condom... tape under the actors shirt (a small hole for the line to go through, hardly noticable), and when ready for the actor to get shot, pull hard on the line and there ya go...
not perfect, but it should work in a pinch and on the cheap

this could work, can anyone post a link to a reliable distributor or otherwise tell me how to get ahold of some? we'll go the condom route last case scenerio.

This is featured on an episode of Indy Mogul along with another way to do this effect. Check out indymogul.com for other great tricks. The problem with this is that it will not look as good without doing the alternate way due to the fact that you will see a washer come out of a shirt.
Also, this only works if you want to use blood. Say that you want to hit a tree as if a bullet hit it and you do not have a real gun. You will (most likely) not want to show a bleeding tree.

I've been in the film/television special effects industry for 18 years now- in case there's some question as to my validity:
Storm of The DEAD
Explosive squibs- though probably the most "impactful" for imagery on film- are also some of the most dangerous.
There are compressed air cannons [body sized] that you can make- nothing more complicated than a modified paintball gun in some instances- that can make a really nice "brain splat" against a tree or wall so long as your actor hides the device from the camera.
I'm certainly not going to tell someone how to have their fun- in all honesty, there's a family 8mm home movie still floating around where my twin & I made our cousin's head look like it exploded while wearing his Easter Sunday best- done with M80s [the REAL ones- not that crap you get today in those fly-by-night 4th of July tents] and enough Karo syrup [w/red food coloring] to drown an elephant.
You could hear the carnage from about 4 blocks in any compass direction & my twin & I had to work like mad to clean up the place before our grandmother saw what we'd done.
Trust me- nothin' says "Norman Rockwell Christmas" like "Gran" closing the curtains, firing up the family movie projector and showing films from a few years back- only to scream in abject horror when she sees "Little Andy's" head get blown off his shoulders with a perfect sinewed eyeball streaking past the camera in 48 fps slow-mo!
[And, "yes"- this was before Video Tape or DVDs on your computers- yeah, yeah, I know "bear skins & stone knives]
That took real stupidity on my brother's & my part- 2 M80s back then was almost 1/2-a-stick of real dynamite!
No- I won't tell you how to have your fun- but don't ask me to give you the formulas for black powder charges- nor integrating electrical igniters into Flat-Pak charges.
My stuntmen wear metal body plates with leather and terrycloth because of the heat and blast my pyro gives off. The ones that tell me "they don't need all that stuff" invariably are the ones that tell me "Hey- that got hot!" when I rush in on "Cut!" and peel the still-smoking metal off of them.
Please be careful gang... I want to be a part of many of these types of things but not at the novice's expense of getting hurt or killed.
Okay?

I've gotten squibs roughly a dime's size in height and a dime's size in diameter- they were commercially produced with a Kevlar "cup" surrounding 3 sides to contain the blast and could put a hole in your typical DVD.
I've come close hand-made using paper, old GE "Blue Flash Cube" flash bulbs and an extremely small, [*indeterminate amount*] of black powder which will not be made public here due to lurking assholes who'll go out and try this.
