New, Untested Explosive

Hey, i made a new explosive and don't know what it'll do. I can't test it until this weekend. If anyone wants to know how to build it, ask me.well, i tested it and it doesn't work at all, the first one let out a few stars, but only the firecracker used to start it exploded. i made another, and i'll get it up asap.

subject: straw bomb
ok, what you need 1.)straw 2.)glue sand, http://www.instructables.com/id/EA75ILUTNHETVPMCD3/ 3.)rocket motor how to build take the rocket motor and get rid of the cardboard cover. scrape off a bunch of the black powder. cap one end of the straw with my glue sand and let it dry. when it's dry, fill it with the black powder. cap the other end of the straw with glue sand. use whatever method you want to ignite it, electrical, or fuse. if you can, post a video on youtube please. so far i have made 2, no ignition type chosen yet.

Well... Black powder is rather slow burning (which is why it's frequently used for fuses) and would therefore tend to melt the straw long before building up enough pressure to explode.

there's a fuse someone made out of some string, acetone, and the ends off of matches i dunno what the address is, so i'll say it here you take the matches, and cut off the red/white tips. then, in a bowl, mash them until you get it like powder. once that's done, mix the powder with acetone, which can be found in nail polish remover. when it's nicely mixed, coat your string with it. let the string dry

i seriously have only two words. Anarchist Cookbook. There are many downloadable versions online. Just be careful. Oh, i prefer v.666(has the best stuff in it) as horrible as it sounds.

Heard that before. As stupid as it seems the explosives in that book can be modded to make beautiful 4th fireworks and can be used as effects in gurella movies.

Anarchist Cookbook is the most unreliable POS I've ever read. But it was a good read never the less.

I'm willing to test it as long as it's made using materials I can just buy at a store. Could you pm me the instructions?

You know when your young this stuff always sounds like a good idea. Then you get older and just thank god that you lived through it. I did all the same stuff, almost blew myself up a couple of times. I wish you the same good luck that I had.

This is really fun. Cover yourself in gasoline, light yourself on fire, and jump off of a cliff.... At a friend's house of course.
