Intro: Tear Powder Bomb

 For those who like this project, or thought it was dumb, thats ok. I have been working on a new tear bomb. It spreads the mixture over a much greater area, through smoke. Ask me if you want to know more.

these are snap shots from a video i took.
You will need:
- film canister 
- fire cracker or explosive of your choice.
- your favorite tear powder

STEP 1: Poke a Hole.

 poke a hole in the bottom for the fuze. the fuze should fit pretty snug

STEP 2: Fill With Tear Powder.

 im using a cornstarch chile powder mix, but a the best mix is cornstarch (or flour), chile powder, metal shavings, and or glass shavings.

STEP 3: Put Cap On

 give it a shake.

STEP 4: Test

 instructables wouldn't let me up load a video but i hope this works for you...

you can make it fuseless if you make it with strike anywhere match heads and a few small rocks then wrap it tight in tape. it will make a good size bang and you can still throw in the firecracker powder for a little extra.

the metal/glass shavings, are really nescessary?

 i am using a cheap m-90 but you might want something more powerful. You can use anything but i found that cornstarch tends to linger in the air more, and when cornstarch gets wet it gets kind of lumpy and thick. The powder sprayed pretty far. about 6 feet out of the end with the cap and about 3 feet out the end without the cap. I was hoping that the fire cracker would blow the whole cartridge into pieces  sending plastic and the powder mix every where.
