Thanks JC
I now know what not to ever, ever do, even in event of civil unrest the Zombie invasion. Thanks, otherwise I might have tried this at home, and it would be so very very wrong.

What kind of red blooded American boy has not made an explosive device?

One of the neighbor kids told me how to make a Works bomb several years ago. I'm surprised it took this long for more people to be aware of them. Dry ice and hot water makes a good bomb too.

Making bombs is like masturbating to a stolen Penthouse. There are two kinds of teenage boys. Those who do it, and those who are discreet enough to lie about it.

We did the same thing with pool shock and brake fluid as part of an Expolsive recognition class.  The first one was just a pile of it and it burned like a road flare.  The second one we used a WATER bottle which popped over the fence 10 feet away when it went off.  If we had used a soda bottle the sugars would have accelerated the reaction and we may not have had time to get away before it went off.

Of note, there are two types of shock.  One it works the other it doesn't.  That's as much as I'll say.

We also spent a couple days on improvised munitions and all the places you can get the components.  DAMN, I'll never see the grocery store the same way again.

So your next, no doubt lengthy, post advising us of all the things we should never buy and combine in the specifed amounts will be coming when?

Bored teen-aged boys are always trouble.

These are pretty popular with that crowd around here, although I don't think they use caustic material and tend to target mailboxes.  Needless to say the local constabulary is not amused.

Back in the day, my friends used to toss a small black powder bomb into a farmer's mailbox and hook a bent mail through the lock hole on the handle.  That usually did the trick.  Not that I even witnessed it first hand - just heard stories about it.

Actually, we wanted to put it inside a hollowed out pumpkin for an even more impressive effect, but it was summer and we didn't have any.

The problem with a lot of this stuff is the ATF regards it as an explosive device, and stiff penalties come along with them if you're caught. I know dry ice "bombs" also fit into that category. Not that any radical muslims would use 'em.   Bill T.
