Then pour some Ammonia down into the bottle. Since the gas is heavier than air, it will stay down in there unless you use large amounts of AJAX or Ammonia. [ ] * Chlorine + Turpentine * Take a small cloth or rag and soak it in Turpentine. Quickly drop it into the bottle of Chlorine. It should give off alot of black smoke and probably start burning... [ ] * Chlorine Fuse Bomb * Materials: -1 Large explosive (M-80 or above) -1 Large cylindrical cardboard container such as kool-aid drink mix -1 Roll of black electrical tape Fill the container half-way with comet cleanser. Then nestle the explosive on the cleanser. Pour more cleanser until container is filled, leave explosive's wick sticking out above the comet, stick fuse through plastic top to the container tightly. To ignite this bomb just light the fuse and move quickly. The bomb will explode and fill the air with poison gas. [ ] * Chlorine Gas * Materials: -1 Two liter bottle -1 Measuring cup -1 Bottle of chlorox bleach -1 Bottle of Ammonia Pour 1/2 a cup of chlorox into the bottle. Pour 1/2 cup of Ammonia into the bottle. Quickly screw on the cap to the bottle and throw the bottle far away. The cap will blow off releasing a deadly cloud of fumes. [ ] * Chloride of Azode * A good example of how ammonium nitrate can be chemically mixed with other substances, and impart its explosive qualities to these otherwise nonexplosive materials, is in the preparation of chloride of azode. 1. A quantity of chlorine gas is collected in a small glass beaker, and placed upside down on another glass beaker containing a water solution of ammonium nitrate. 2. Now the solution of ammonium nitrate is heated gently. While it is being heated, the surface of the solution will become oily, and finally small droplets will form and sink to the bottom of the beaker. 3. After this process is finished, remove the heat and drain off excess ammonium nitrate solution. The droplets that remain at the bottom of the beaker are chloride of azode of nitrochloride. Nitrochloride explodes violently when brought into contact with an open flame, or when exposed to temperatures above 212 degrees F. There are hundreds and hundreds of formulas for the use of ammonium nitrate, in different explosive compounds. For further information, a chemistry manual or handbook of explosives can be useful. [ ] * Hydrogen + Chlorine * Take the test tube of Hydrogen and cover the mouth with your thumb. Keep it inverted, and bring it near the bottle of Chlorine (Not one that has reacted with Turpentine) Say "Goodbye test tube", and drop it into the bottle. the Hydrogen and Chlorine should react and possibly explode (Depending on purity and amount of each gas) an interesting thing about this is they will not react if it is dark and no heat or energy is around, but when a light is turned on, enough energy is present to cause them to react... [ ] * Generating Hydrogen Gas * To generate Hydrogen, all you need is an acid and a metal that will react with that acid, try Vinegar (Acetic Acid) with Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium, Etc. You can now collect Hydrogen in something, if you note Hydrogen is lighter than air. Light a small amount and it burns with a small *POP* Another way of creating Hydrogen is by an electrolysis of water, this involves separating water (H2O) into Hydrogen and Oxygen by an electric current. To do this you need a 6-12 Volt battery, two test tubes, a large bowl, two carbon electrodes (Take them out of any unworking 6-12 Volt battery), and table salt. Dissolve the salt in a large bowl of water. submerge the two test tubes in the water and put the electrodes inside them, with the mouth of the tube aiming down. Connect the battery to some wire going down to the electrodes. This will work for awhile, but Chlorine will be generated along with oxygen which will undoubtedly corrode your copper wires leading to the Carbon electrodes. (The table salt is broken up into Chlorine and Sodium ions, the Chlorine comes off as a gas with oxygen while Sodium reacts with water to form Sodium Hydroxide...) Therefore, if you can get your hands on some Sulfuric Acid, use it instead. It will not affect the water conduct electricity. [ ] * Creating Oxygen * Get Hydrogen Peroxide and Magnesium Dioxide (It's a black powder found in batteries) mix the two in a bottle, and possibly some vaseline. The two will react and give off oxygen. If the bottle is stoppered, pressure will build up and shoot it off, if stoppered too tight notice it will explode. [ ] * Iodine * Tincture of Iodine contains mostly Alcohol and a little Iodine. To separate them, put the tincture of Iodine in a metal lid from a bottle and heat it over a candle. Have a stand holding another metal lid directly over the tincture (about 4-6 inches above it) with ice in top of it. the Alcohol should evaporate, and the Iodine should sublime, but should form Iodine crystals on the cold metal lid above. If this works, you can use the iodine along with household ammonia to form Nitrogen Triiodine. [ ] *How To Make Nitrogen Tri-Iodide* Probably the most hazardous explosive compound of all is nitrogen tri-iodide. Strangely enough, it is very popular with high school chemsits, who do not have the vaguest idea of what they are doing. The reason for its popularity may be the ready availability of the ingredients, but it is so sensitive to friction that a fly landing on it, has been known to detonate it. The recipe has only been included as a warning and a curiosity. It should not be used. [1> Add a small amount of solid iodine crystals to about 20 cc. of concentrated ammonium hydroxide. This operation must be performed very slowly, until a brownish-red precipitate is formed. [2> Now it is filtered through filter paper, and then washed first with alcohol and secondly with ether. Tri-idodide must remain wet, since when it dries it becomes super sensitive to friction, and a slight touch can set it off. [*Nitrogen Triiodide*] Nitrogen Triiodide is a very powerful and very shock sensitive explosive. Never store it and be carful when you're around it- Sound, Air movements, and other tiny things could set it off. MATERIALS- 2-3G Iodine 15ML concentrated Ammonia 8 sheets filter paper 50ml beaker Feather mounted on a two meter pole Ear plugs Tape Spatula Stirring Rod Add 2-3g Iodine to 15ml Ammonia in the 50ml beaker. Stir, let stand for 5 minutes. Do the following within 5 minutes! Retain the solid, decant the liquid (Pour off the liquid but keep the brown solid...). Scrape the brown residue of Nitrogen Triiodide onto a stack of four sheets of filter paper. Divide solid into four parts, putting each on a seperate sheet of dry filter paper. Tape in position, leave to dry undisturbed for at least 30 minutes (Preferrably longer). To detonate, touch with feather. (Wear ear plugs when detonating or cover ears- it is very loud!) [*Nitrogen Triiodide #2] Five grams iodine three grams potassium iodide 20 ml. concentrated ammonium hydroxide filter paper & funnel. Stir the potassium iodide and iodine together in a beaker with 50 ml. of water. Add the ammonium hydroxide with stirring until no more precipitate forms. Filter and spread a thin layer of the wet solid on several filter papers. Break the filter papers into many small pieces and allow to dry for several hours. On drying, the paper is extremely sensitive to touch and will explode violently with the slightest disturbance. Can be handled safely when wet. Do not let any sizeable quantity of the dry material accumulate. --- I was able to buy concentrated ammonium hydroxide from a photographic supply.

Crush 20 asprin in a glass container then add 1 teaspoon water and mix into a paste while stirring 2. Add about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of Alcohol to the asprin paste while stirring 3. Tape a paper towel over a glass container and pour the solution over it. Pitch the residue left on the paper towel. 4. Pour the filtered solution into a glass or ceramic dish 5. Heat a pan of water 160-180 degrees. Place the dish into the Alcohol/Water solution evaporates leaving behind white powder 6. Pour 1/3 cup of Sulfuric Acid into a jar then add the white powder 7. Place the jar into a pan of simmering water for about 15 minutes then remove the jar from the pan. The solution should turn yellow-orange in color 8. Add 3 teaspoons of Potassium Nitrate to solution while stirring vigorously. The solution will turn red then back to yellow-orange 9. Allow the solution to cool to room temperature while stirring occasionally 10. Pour the solution into a glass containing 1 1/4 cup of water while stirring vigorously 11. Filter the solution through a paper towel into a glass container 12. Wash the yellow particles that collect on the towel with 2 teaspoons of water. 13. Place the particles in a glass or ceramic dish and set in simmering water for 2 hours [ ] * How To Make Picric Acid * Method for the preparation of picric acid: 1. Phenol is melted and then mixed with a concentrated solution of sulfuric acid. The mixture is constantly stirred and kept at a steady temperature of 95 degrees C., for four to six hours, depending on the quantities of phenol used. 2. After this, the acid-phenol solution is diluted with distilled water, and an equal excess amount of nitric acid is added. The mixture of the nitric acid will cause an immediate reaction, which will produce heat, so the addition of the acid must be performed slowly, but more importantly the temperature of the solution must NOT GO ABOVE 110 degrees C. 3. Ten or so minutes after the addition of the nitric acid, the picric acid will be fully formed, and you can draw off the excess acid. It should be filtered and washed in the same manner as above, until the litmus paper tests show that there is little or no acid present. When washing, use only cold water. After this, the picric acid should be allowed to partially dry. Picric acid is a more powerful explosive than TNT, but it has disadvantages. It is much more expensive to make, and is best handled in a wet 10% distilled water form, as picric acid becomes very unstable when completely dry. This compound should never be put into direct contact with any metal, since instantly on contact there is a formation of metal picrate, which explodes spontanteously upon formation. [ ] * Electrical Blasting Cap * Materials: -.75 Grams of Mercury Fulminate -Picric Acid -Spent casing of at least .22 calibre (.45, .50, .38, etc...) -12" fuse with insulated wire 1. Strip about 1/4" of the insulation from the center of the wire 2. Drill 2 holes in the casing 3. Thread the wire so that the non-insulated area is inside the casing 4. Fill the casing with the Mercury Fulminate 5. When your done with step 8, connect one end of the wire to the positive lead of a battery (the higher the voltage the better) 6. Connect one end of the second wire to the negative lead and the second wire to a SPST or DPST or other 2-way switch (make sure the switch is in the off position) 7. Connect the other end of the first wire to the other end of the switch 8. Flip the switch whenever your ready to ignite the blasting cap. [ ] * How to make Mercury Fulminate for Blasting caps * 3.12 MERCURY FULMINATE Mercury fulminate is perhaps one of the oldest known initiating compounds. It can be detonated by either heat or shock, which would make it of infinite value to a terrorist. Even the action of dropping a crystal of the fulminate causes it to explode. A person making this material would probably use the following procedure: Method # 1 1. Take 5 grams of pure mercury and mix it with 35 milliliters of Nitric Acid. 2. The misture is slowly and gently heated as soon as the solution bubbles and turns green, one knows the silver mercury is dissolved. 3. After it is dissolved, the solution should be poured, slowly, into a small container of Ethyl Alcohol. This will result in red fumes. 4. After a half hour or so, the red fumes will turn white, indicating that the process is nearing its final stage. 5. After a few minutes, add distilled water to the solution 6. The entire solution is now filtered, in order to obtain the small white crystals. These crystals are pure mercury fulminate, but should be washed many time, and tested with litmus paper for any remaining acid. Method # 2 1. Mix one part Mercuric Oxide with ten parts Ammonia solution. When ratios are reached they are always according to weight rather than volume 2. After waiting eight to ten days, one will see that the Mercuric Oxide has reacted with the Ammonia solution to produce the white fulminate crystals 3. These crystals must be washed several times and tested with litmus paper for any remaining acid [ ] *Cheap Electrical Igniters Materials: pack of 100 silicon diodes (available at any electronic store; you know you got the right ones if they are very,very small glass objects.) pack of matches 1 candle Procedure: 1. light the candle and allow a large pool of molten wax to form in the top. 2. take a single match and hold the glass part of a single diode against the head....bend the wires around the head so that one wraps in an upward direction and then sticks out to the side...do the same with the other wire, but in a downward direction. The diode should now be hugging the match head, but its wires MUST NOT TOUCH EACH OTHER!!!! 3. dip the match head in wax to give it a water-proof coat (work under water) 4. repeat steps 1 - 3 to make as many as you want How to use: When these little dudes are hooked across a 6vDC battery, the diode reaches what is called break-down voltage. When most electrical components reach this voltage, they usually produce great ammounts of heat and light, while quickly melting into a little blob. This heat is enough to ingite a match head. These are recomended for use under water, where most other ingniters refuse to work. Enjoy! [ ] * Land Mine * Materials: -1 M-80 or other explosive -3 Wires -1 9 Volt battery -1 Solar igniter -1 Pressure plate switch 1. Connect the wire from battery to switch to solar igniter to battery 2. Replace fuse on M-80 with solar ignitor 3. Hide device under a light coat of dirt 4. Place switch in the path when switch is pressured the bomb will go off [ ] * Detonators * The most common time-delay device is an ordinary safety fuse. These fuses usually consist of a black-powder core surrounded with a fabric and then a layer of waterproof material. Although there are many different types, it can generally be said that safety fuses burn between 30 and 45 seconds per foot; however, check these figures when you make your purchase. Fuses can be bought from any mail-order pryotechnics company. Two with whom I have dealt are: Ecco Products Box 189 Northvale, New Jersey 07647 Westech Corporation P.O. Box 8193 Salt Lake City, Utah 84108 Double-coated waterproof fuse usually sells for 20 to 25 dollars for a thousand to fifteen hundred feet. I would advise purchasing this equipment, since homemade fuses are not to be trusted. Bombs can be detonated in many ways. The detonation and use of certain devices are based mainly on the cleverness and imagination of the saboteur. I will discuss several basic forms of detonators, both nonelectric and electric. However, there is an infinite number of variations, which may be better suited to individual situations. The first type is referred to either as a tension-release, or a wiretrap device. It operates on the principle of releasing the tension caused by a wound spring, on the firing pin, and allowing it to strike and set off a nonelectrical blasting cap. The nonelectrical blasting cap will in turn generate the necessary heat to ignite the TNT or dynamite. This can be implemented in many ways. A common method in which the wire-trip device can be employed is stretching a trip wire six inches above the ground. Another equally popular method of employing the tension-release device is attaching the taut wire to the back of a door, so that, when the door is opened, the tension is released, and the explosive ignites. A device very similar to the last one is the pull-trigger electric detonator. It functions in the same manner, in that a safety pin is removed from the striker or firing pin, causing it to move forward and connect with a metal plate. This connection with the metal plate completes the electrical circuit. The batteries have been connected by wires to an electrical blasting cap, a metal plate, and finally to the firing pin. Although professional supplies for this equipment are available at reasonable prices, the device can be constructed from household items. The construction of this device is as follows: two flashlight batteries are connected to each other, and then one wire is run from one end of the batteries to the electrical blasting cap, the other wire from the opposite end of the batteries to the metal plate. A third wire is run from the blasting cap to the firing pin. This now completes the fully cocked device. In the same manner as the explosive is detonated, so is the common military grenade. The principle of a tension release is the same. After the pin is pulled out of the military grenade, the spring is free to react, causing the primer to ignite the lead-spitter fuse, and it in turn will ignite the lead oxide and pentolite. The pentolite will release enough heat to ignite the TNT and cause fragmentation of the metal casing. The next type of detonating device I am going to discuss is called the pressure-trigger device. It is based on the application of pressure rather than its release, as in the previous devices. This mechanism is primarily used when an electrical circuit is employed. The plunger is pushed down; it forces one thin metal plate against another thicker metal plate. The batteries are connected, via the blasting cap, to each of these metal plates. Therefore, when they touch, the electrical circuit is complete, and the explosive will ignite. This type of device has several important advantages. First of all, it can be constructed away from the area it will be used in. This will cut installation time down to seconds. [ ] * Pressure Detonators * The next type of detonating device I will discuss is called a releas-of-pressure mechanism. This device employs exactly the same principles as the pressure-trigger device, except in reverse. The movement of the pressure plate, rather than down, is now up. This can be used effectively when a weight is placed on the pressure plate. Then when it is removed, the explosives will be ignited. To construct, use a heavy-duty spring beneath the first metal plate. Connect a wire from the blasting cap to the first metal plate. The second wire is then stretched from the bottom of battery "A", to the second metal plate. The third wire is run from the electrical blasting cap to the top of battery "B". When this is accomplished, the booby trap is fully cocked. When the weight on the pressure plate is remove, the spring will will force the second metal plate against the first, thus completing the electrical circuit and exploding the device. In a tension-release booby trap, when the tension, resulting from a wire pulling on a pliable metal strip, is released, the metal strip will snap back into another metal strip. Since the wires from the batteries and blasting cap are connected to either metal strip, when they touch, the circuit will be complete and it will detonate the explosive charge. This type of detonator is especially effective when attached to drawers, doors, or any movable object. [ ] * Mortars * Materials: -3" Long and 4" Diameter iron pipe, threaded at one end -End cap for pipe -Gun powder -9 Volt lantern battery and wires -1 Pound of small stones or other small metal scrap (hex nuts) -2, 20" X 20" rags -Paper bag -Light bulb 1.

Keeping the lever held back in it's spring-loaded position, close the briefcase top and lock it 10. When it's opened, the lever will spring shut, completing the circuit to the blasting cap, igniting the plastique and blowing them to hell... [ ] * Booby Traps * [Road Trap] This incorporates a wire-trip action to complete the electrical circuit. It is extremely simple to make, since all the equipment can be gathered around the house. The great advantage to this particular device is that the explosives are detonated when the vehicle is directly over it, so insuring maximum destruction. To construct a road trap, begin by digging three holes across a roadway. Into two of the holes place the explosive charges, and into the third place a regular car battery. Connect the first wire from the negative terminal of the battery via each of the blasting caps, in each charge, to a metal pin on one side of an ordinary clothespin. The clothespin must be kept open by a small wooden wedge, which is attached to a thin black wire stretched across the roadway. When the semi-invisible wire is pulled, the wodden wedge will fall out of the clothespin, thus closing the clothespin. When the clothespin is closed, the two metal pins will connect the electrical circuit, thus exploding the charges. [Walk Trap] This incorporates the same type of wire-trap action as described in the road trap. The walk trap is not electrically operated, it relies on a percussion detonator. When the wire is pulled, it pulls the safety pin out of the heavy firing pin. The heat created from the detonator's explosion will be sufficient to set off the TNT. This type of booby trap is especially effective in dense undergrowth where the trip wire cannot be readily seen (see figure). ###### ######## #[TREE]# ######## ###### || || /|| !:!.;!.!.;!:;.! / || !:;[Tall Grass];!

The cap at one end must have a small hole drilled in it, so that a fuse and blasting cap can be inserted. It can be used very effectively to destroy walls, barricades, and steel or iron doors. These are also great weapons against cars, trucks, and even trains. If piping of this sort is not available, you can make a substitute torpedo by taking a stick of dynamite and wrapping it tightly with electric tape and thin copper wire. To be effectvie, it should have many layers of each. [Homemade Hand Grenade] This is constructed from an empty, clean, condensed-milk can, attached to a wodden handle. It is then filled halfway with a layer of dynamite. In the dynamite is placed a nonelectric blasting cap, with a five to six second fuse. The dynamite is then covered with small pieces of iron, until the can is full. Seal the top of the open end closed, leaving a small hole for the fuse. / ====|==== =.:.|.:.= =:.:|.:.= <--[:.: = Iron Scraps] =.:.|:.:= =---|---= =///+///= =///+///= <--[+ = Non-electric Blasting Cap] =///+///= =///////= =///////= <--[/// = Dynamite] ========= ||| ||| <-- Wooden Handle ||| ||| [Anti-Personnel Grenade] This is constructed by taking a piece of pipe and closing it at one end, either by soldering or by screwing a cap on it. The pipe is packed tightly with dynamite, and sealed at the other end, leaving a small hole for the detonator, which is made in the following manner. A piece of one-eighth-inch tubing is fastened to the end of a piece of fuse, which in turn is attached to a detonating cap. On the other end of the fuse, a bit of cotton, saturated with chlorate of potassium and common sugar, is placed, followed by another piece of cotton and a little vial of sulferic acid. (This vial must be hermetically sealed, to prevent leakage). Finally, a piece of wood or iron, which can be easily moved, is packed in the remaining empty space. The piece of wood is placed there, so that when the pipe is moved the piece of iron or wood will fall against the vial of sulfuric acid and break it. Once the sulfuric acid contacts the potassium chlorate, the chemical reaction will cause a very hot flame, which will ignite the fuse and cause the explosion. If this type of device is placed in a roadway, or directly in the path of the enemy army, there is a good change it will be set off - either by a kick or by curiosity. [Book Trap] To construct this, you will need a large book, perhaps a thousand pages. The book should be hollowed out, leaving the edges intact. In this hollow place, put a dry cell battery and your explosive, and connect the wires. Fix two metal contact points to the edges of the book, and separate them with a wooden wedge, which is attached to the rear wall of the bookcase. This must be accomplished in such a manner that, when the book is removed from the shelf, the metal contact points will touch and complete the electrical circuit, thus causing the detonation of the explosive charge. [ ] BOOK BOMBS Concealing a bomb can be extremely difficult in a day and age where perpetrators of violence run wild. Bags and briefcases are often searched by authorities whenever one enters a place where an individual might intend to set off a bomb. One approach to disguising a bomb is to build what is called a book bomb; an explosive device that is entirely contained inside of a book. Usually, a relatively large book is required, and the book must be of the hardback variety to hide any protrusions of a bomb. Dictionaries, law books, large textbooks, and other such books work well. When an individual makes a bookbomb, he/she must choose a type of book that is appropriate for the place where the book bomb will be placed. The actual construction of a book bomb can be done by anyone who possesses an electric drill and a coping saw. First, all of the pages of the book must be glued together. By pouring an entire container of water-soluble glue into a large bucket, and filling the bucket with boiling water, a glue-water solution can be made that will hold all of the book's pages together tightly. After the glue-water solution has cooled to a bearable temperature, and the solution has been stirred well, the pages of the book must be immersed in the glue-water solution, and each page must be thoroughly soaked. It is extremely important that the covers of the book do not get stuck to the pages of the book while the pages are drying. Suspending the book by both covers and clamping the pages together in a vice works best. When the pages dry, after about three days to a week, a hole must be drilled into the now rigid pages, and they should drill out much like wood. Then, by inserting the coping saw blade through the pages and sawing out a rectangle from the middle of the book, the individual will be left with a shell of the book's pages. The pages, when drilled out, should look like this: ________________________ | ____________________ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |__________________| | |______________________| (book covers omitted) This rectangle must be securely glued to the back cover of the book. After building his/her bomb, which usually is of the timer or radio controlled variety, the bomber places it inside the book. The bomb itself, and whatever timer or detonator is used, should be packed in foam to prevent it from rolling or shifting about. Finally, after the timer is set, or the radio control has been turned on, the front cover is glued closed, and the bomb is taken to its destination. [Loose Floorboard Trap] This one utilizes the same principles as the Book Trap, in that is relies on two metal contact points touching to complete the electrical circuit. Beneath the loose floorboard are two strips of pliable metal of bamboo, each with a metal contact point, which will touch when pressure is brought down on the loose floorboard. [Gate Trap] This is an extremely simple, effective, and relatively safe booby trap. To cock the booby trap, pull the pin on a regular tension release grenade, and place beneath a swining gate, or anywhere that will supply the pressure necessary. When the gate is moved (either opened or closed), the pressure will be released and the grenade detonated. [Chimney Trap] Take three or four sticks of dynamite and tape them together. Attach a nonelectrical blasting cap, with a three or four foot fuse. Now tape the dynamite about five feet up on the inside of the chimney, leaving the fuse hanging loose downward. The end of the fuse should be about a foot or so up the chimney so that it is out of sight. When a fire is lit, the heat generated will ignite the fuse, and it will explode the charge, further up the chimney. This works extremely well, since most of the tamping is supplied by the very structure of the chimney. [Car Trap] It has many advantages, the most important being that you do not have to carry your own power supply, but rather use the ignition system of the car itself. Wires are run from the electrical blasting cap to points along the electrical ignititon system, and attached with alligator clips. When the key it turned, it will complete the ignition system, and thus explode the bomb. A good place to hide explosives is in the hollow cavity behind the dashboard, since then the full force of the explosion will be directed at the individuals in the front seat. [Pipe Trap] There are basically two methods of booby-trapping a pipe. The first is very similar to the chimney trap, except the intent is to blow off the smoker's head. A small amount of tetryl or lead azide is placed in the mouthpiece of the pipe, and a fuse is attached, which leads through the rest of the pipe to a point about one-quarter-inch beneath the bowl. When the smoker lights the pipe, the fuse will be lit, and burn down untouched, until it detonates the explosives in the mouthpiece, and blows the smoker's head off. The second method is a little more complex but just as effective. A very sensitive explosive is placed in the mouthpiece, as before, except an activated firing pin is placed in the stem of the pipe. The smoker will attempt to light the pipe and find he cannot suck through it. Believing the stem to be blocked with tar or nicotine, he will unscrew the threaded joint. The act of unscrewing will release the firing pin, and detonate the explosives. [Cacodyal] Since it is not feasible to make napalm in your kitchen, you will have to be satisfied with cacodyal. This made by chemically extracting all the oxygen from alcohol, and then replacing it, under laboratory controls, with metal arsenic. The formula for alcohol is C4 H5 O, whereas for cacodyal it is C4 H5 AR. Now, this new substance, cacodyal, possesses spontaneous inflammability, the moment it is exposed to the air. Therefore it can be put into a bottle and used like a Molotov Cocktail. If it is thrown, it will explode on impact, but this is not its real advantage. When it explodes, a dense white smoke is given off. This is white arsenic, a deadly poin. One inhalation will probably cause death in a matter seconds. [Molotov Cocktail] This is an incendiary bomb, which bursts into flame on breaking. A quart bottle is filled with 2/3 gasoline and 1/3 oil. A fuse is made of an old gasoline-soaked rag, and then stuffed into the mouth of the bottle. The bottle is corked, and the fuse is lit. It is thrown and, when it breaks, it will burst into flame. The enemy will not be able to extinguish the fire with water. These were used with varying degree of success in the struggle in Hungary. According to some reports they can disable a tank. [MOLOTOV COCKTAILS] First used by Russians against German tanks, the Molotov cocktail is now exclusively used by terrorists worldwide. They are extremely simple to make, and can produce devastating results. By taking any highly flammable material, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, ethyl or methyl alcohol, lighter fluid, turpentine, or any mixture of the above, and putting it into a large glass bottle, anyone can make an effective firebomb. After putting the flammable liquid in the bottle, simply put a piece of cloth that is soaked in the liquid in the top of the bottle so that it fits tightly. Then, wrap some of the cloth around the neck and tie it, but be sure to leave a few inches of lose cloth to light. Light the exposed cloth, and throw the bottle. If the burning cloth does not go out, and if the bottle breaks on impact, the contents of the bottle will spatter over a large area near the site of impact, and burst into flame. Flammable mixtures such as kerosene and motor oil should be mixed with a more volatile and flammable liquid, such as gasoline, to insure ignition. A mixture such as tar or grease and gasoline will stick to the surface that it strikes, and burn hotter, and be more difficult to extinguish. A mixture such as this must be shaken well before it is lit and thrown [Whistle Trap & Other Handy Devices] A booby trap that has an effect similar to the one created by the pipe trap, is the whistle booby trap. It is constructed by separating the metal or plastic sides into their natural halves. This can be accomplished by steaming. Now, fill each half one-fourth full of an extremely friction- sensitive explosive. Before gluing the two halves together, include a small ball made of a rough sandpaper-like substance (glue some sand together). When the whistle is blown, the ball will bounce around inside the shell, creating enough friction heat to set off the explosive charge. An interesting booby trap can be constructed by using a bottle, full of a highly sensitive liquid explosive, which will detonate on the extraction of the cork. The cork is designed with a friction element that pulls through a sensitive explosive. When this booby trap explodes, it does extensive damage, due to the fragmentation of the glass. An extremely simple device for setting a time-delay fire is a book of matches, with a lighted cigarette stuck in it. This is then left upon combustible material. The cigarette, as it burns down, will light the matches, and they in turn will generate the heat necessary to ignite the other larger combustible material. Another incendiary time-delay device is constructed out of a candle, friction matches, and several rags soaked either in gasoline or kerosene. The candle is placed upright in the center of the bundle of matches. As the candle burns down, it will ignite the matches, and they will ignite the rags. One can usually expect about a fifteen-minute delay with this device. [ ] * Trap Light Bulbs * An automatic reaction to walking into a dark room is to turn on the light. This can be fatal, if a lightbulb bomb has been placed in the overhead light socket. A lightbulb bomb is surprisingly easy to make. It also comes with its own initiator and electric ignition system. On some lightbulbs, the lightbulb glass can be removed from the metal base by heating the base of a lightbulb in a gas flame, such as that of a blowtorch or gas stove. This must be done carefully, since the inside of a lightbulb is a vacuum. When the glue gets hot enough, the glass bulb can be pulled off the metal base. On other bulbs, it is necessary to heat the glass directly with a blowtorch or oxy-acetylene torch. When the bulb is red hot, a hole must be carefully poked in the bulb, remembering the vacuum state inside the bulb. In either case, once the bulb and/or base has cooled down to room temperature or lower, the bulb can be filled with an explosive material, such as black powder. If the glass was removed from the metal base, it must be glued back on to the base with epoxy. If a hole was put in the bulb, a piece of duct tape is sufficient to hold the explosive in the in the bulb. Then, after making sure that the socket has no power by checking with a working lightbulb, all that need be done is to screw the lightbulb bomb into the socket. Such a device has been used by terrorists or assassins with much success, since nobody can search the room for a bomb without first turning on the light. Materials: -1 Light Bulb -1 Gallon of gasoline -1 Tube of Epoxy glue -Liquid Soap 1. Place hole in the light bulb (See Below) * --- [ ] [ ] [ ] *[ ]* [ ] [ ] [ ] [-----] *-Mark where hole may be placed 2. Carefully pour some gasoline through the hole filling half the bulb 3. Carefully pour some liquid soap in to complete filling the bulb 4. Cover the hole with Epoxy glue 5. Make sure the switch is off and screw light bulb in socket, when the switch is turned on. The bulb will explode sending sharp fragments of glass all over... [ ] * Pipe Bomb (Easy Version) * Materials: -1 Threaded steel pipe with caps on the ends -1 Baby food or other small jar -Some small rocks -Some Baking Soda 1. Fill glass jar with Vinegar 2. Fit glass jar into steel pipe 3. Cap one end of pipe 4. Drop small rocks into pipe 5. Fill pipe with Baking Soda 6. Screw the other cap on tightly and then weld it shut. This is usually used as an impact explosive, toss it on a hard surface, the contact will break the jar, five to ten minutes later, it will explode [*Pipe Bomb*] Buy a section of metal water pipe 1/2 by 6 inches long, threaded on both ends. Buy two metal caps to fit. These are standard items in hardware stores. Drill a 1/16th hole in the center of the pipe. This is easy with a good drill bit. Hanson is a good brand to use. Screw a metal cap tightly on one end. Fill the (pipe to within 1/2 inch of the top with black powder. Do not pack the powder. Don't even tap the bottom of the pipe to make it settle. You want the powder loose. For maximum explosive effect, you need dry, fine powder sitting loose in a very rigid container. Wipe off any powder that has gotten onto the top or threads of the pipe. Gently screw on the second cap. Hand tighten only. Place a small piece of tape over the hole and go to your test site. Remove the tape and insert a two inch piece of black match fuse or a firecracker fuse into the hole. Place the bomb behind a large rock or tree. Using thread or string, lightly tie a 2 inch piece of sulfured wick to the end of the fuse. Avoid letting the wick touch any objects. This might cause it to go out. Light the wick and head for cover in a direction that keeps the rock or tree between you and the bomb at all times. Get behind cover at least 50 yards away. You may not expect such a large explosion from such a small object. The pipe will be blown to pieces which will fly through (the air like bullets. An accident could seriously wound or kill you. This is not a big firecracker. It is more like a hand grenade. The size of the bomb can be increased by using a larger pipe end caps. To make a big noise without blowing up your pipe, cap one end only. Drill a 1/16 hole at the top of the threads at the capped end. Put in about 3 to 4 rounded teaspoonsful of powder. Pack about 2 inches of wadding on top of the powder. Toilet paper or kleenex is good for this. Pack it tight. Open up a safety pin and stick it into the hole. Work it around to loosen up the powder so a fuse can be inserted. When this goes off, the recoil will be tremendous. You will loose your pipe unless you brace it securely against (something. The pipe can be reloaded and used again. A fun trick is to mount the pipe pointing upward. Drop a tin can over the open end and light the fuse. The can will be blown high into the air. Campbell's soup cans are great for this. [ ] * Nitro Explosive * Materials: -65% Nitric Acid -20% Glycerine -15% Sulfuric Acid 1. Mix these into solution form. This should explode by heat, impact or fuse. [ ] * Nitro Compound II * Petroleum jelly and Potassium Chlorate in a 1:1 ratio by weight make a totally safe when wet compound, but is highly explosive and shock sensitive when dry. [ ] * Formulas For Ammonium Nitrate Compounds * [1> Ammonium nitrate 60 [2> Ammonium nitrate 34 Potassium nitrate 29.5 Potassium nitrate 34 Sulfur flour 2.5 TNT 17 Charcoal powder 4 Ammonium chloride 15 Woodmeal 4 [4> Ammonium nitrate 70 [3> Ammonium nitrate 59 Ammonium sulfate 9 Woodmeal 10 Nitroglycerin 6 Nitroglycerin 10 Barium sulfate 7 Sodium chloride 20 Dextrin 8 Magnesium carbonate 1 [6> Ammonium nitrate 75 [5> Ammonium nitrate 88 Aluminum powder 25 Charcoal powder 12 [8> Ammonium nitrate 64 [7> Ammonium nitrate 94 TNT 15 Potassium nitrate 2 Sodium chloride 21 Charcoal powder 4 [10> Ammonium nitrate 35 [9> Ammonium nitrate 60 Potassium nitrate 33 Woodmeal 10 TNT 15 Nitroglycerin 10 Ammonium chloride 20 Sodium chloride 20 The formulas listed above are for high explosives. They are not for cherry bombs or Roman candles. The ingredients that make up these formulas have several functions: The first is the explosive agent itself, the second is the stabilizing agent, and third is a texturizer (paraffin). Below are listed the most important and common ingredients that are used to form an explosive compound, and a description of their purpose and function. [Ammonium Nitrate]: An extremely unstable, white explosive, usually in crystalline form. [Aluminum]: A silver metallic powder, when in pyro grade, it is a major ingredient in many ammonal explosive compounds. [Ammonium Oxalate]: A very valuable stabilizing agent, especially for nitro. [Barium Nitrate]: Nitrated barium, in white crystalline powdered form. [Charcoal Powder]: A fine black powder, which is extremely absorbent, and used extensively in pyrotechnics. [Guncotton]: Nitrated cellulose (sawdust) is fairly stable, but usually used with other ingredients rather than alone. It is about 13-14% nitrogen. [Naphthalene]: This is a sensitizing agent that is normally in a white crystalline form. [Paraffin]: This is a primary ingredient in plastique, and acts as a texturizer. [Potassium Nitrate]: An explosive compound in itself, which is stable. It is usually in a white crystalline form. [Potassium Perchloride]: A white powder used as an igniting agent in high explosives. It is an extremely common ingredient in low explosives. [Resin]: A gummy substance, which is flammable, and used in high explosives as an igniting agent. [Sodium Carbonate]: This white crystalline powder acts to neutralize acid, which may make the explosive more unstable than it normally is. [Sodium Chloride]: This is nothing more than ordinary table salt, and is used as a cooling agent in many high explosives. [Sodium Nitrate]: A stable explosive compound which has the advantage of being water-absorbent. [Sodium Sulfate]: A stabilizing powder, which is water-resistant. [Starch]: This can be either potato or corn starch, and acts as an absorbent in many explosive compounds. [Sulfur]: A yellow crystalline powder, which should be used in flour form only. [Vaseline]: A clear petroleum jelly used in a similar manner as paraffin, as a plasticizer, for many forms of exploding gelatins and plastic explosives. [ ] * Chlorox/Draino Bomb * Materials: -2 Jars with metal lids (Baby food) -1 Bottle chlorox bleach -1 Bottle of liquid draino -1 Roll of electrical tape Fill one of these jars with chlorox and the other with liquid draino. Screw the lids on both jars and seal them tightly with electrical tape. Tape both jars together and to ignite this bomb just throw upon a hard surface. The bottles will break and an explosion will occur. The larger the bottles (Jars) the larger the effect of the bomb. [ ] * Soda Bomb/Poison Gas (2X Chlorine Gas Bomb) * Materials: -1 Box granulated pool chlorine -1 Bag of sugar -1 Bucket of water -1 Two-liter soda bottle or other glass bottle -1 Small glass jar with metal lid Make a mixture of the following: 50% Chlorine, 50% Sugar Put it in the bottle. Then fill the glass jar with water and put it in the soda bottle. Throw this bomb at a hard surface, it'll create a explosion and very harmful fumes. [ ] * Incendiary Bomb * First get a 16-Ounce returnable bottle, a tube of caulking, and a considerable amount of gun powder. Pour the calking into an old pot and warm it over a nice hot stove until it is plasma-like and gooey. Now, take an old strip of cloth about 10" long X 3/4" wide. Dip it in the caulking so that it is completely covered with the stuff. Place the strip in the bottle so as a little bit sticks out the top. Pout in roughly 3/4 cup of gun powder into the bottom. Fill the rest of the bottle up with the caulking, let dry, light the cloth. When the gun powder explodes, it will spew out chards of glass and flaming strands of caulking (similar to napalm) [ ] * Coin Changer Fraud * Have you ever seen one of those really big changer machines in airports, laudromats or arcades that dispense change when you put in your 1 or 5 dollar bill? 1. Find the type of change machine that you slide in your bill length wise, not the type where you put the bill in a tray then slide the tray in!!! 2. After finding the right machine get a $1 or $5 bill. Start crumpling it up into a ball. Then smooth out the bill, now it should have a very wrinkly surface. 3. Now the hard part. You must tear a notch in the bill on the left side about 1/2 inch below the little 1 dollar symbol (see figure) 4. If you have done all of this right then take the bill and go out to the machine. Put the bill in the machine and wait. What should happen is: When you put your bill in, the machine thinks everything is fine. Where it gets to the part of the bill with the notch cut out, the machine will reject the bill and (if you have done it right) give you the change at the same time!!! So, you end up and get the bill back plus the change!! It might take a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, you can become rich!!! ----------------------------------- ! ! !

[ ] * Tennis Ball Bomb * As we know, tennis is a popular sport around the world. In tennis you use these hollow green balls known as tennis balls. What people do not know is that these wonderful little balls can be used for other things. They can be used as a handy little explosive or noise maker. You will need the following. 1. A tennis ball (new if possible) 2. A knife 3. A box of matches (the type that will strike on anything 4. Epoxy Glue and Strong tape First you take a knife and cut a small round hole on the tennis ball. Next you will cut off the match heads of each match and drop them into the hole until the tennis ball is full of them. Make sure you do not drop the tennis ball, because it will not be too fun to stay in the hospital. Apply epoxy glue to the hole, then tape it up very well, so that it is air tight. Make a few of these and one day when some geek is walking down the street or when you want to get a big bang or attention, throw the ball. It is not to fun to be where the ball lands. To make the explosion more powerful, you can use gun powder mix. Have fun!!! [ ] * Pop Machine Fraud * Here is a way to rip off the coke machines you see out side of stores and other places! ok first on all vending machines there are always those rouund almost unpickable locks when no one is looking take a peice of air hardening clayy (make sure it is only air hardening!) and press it into the lock real good! then remove the clay carefully and put it somewhere to dry! make sure the clay is TOTALY dry then go back in a day or so and you will have a key to fit that lock put the key in and push and turn and presto the machine will open allowing you to take all the money! a good machine will get you between 2100 and 300 dollars depending when it was last checked by the company. and best of all if someone sees you just put the key on the ground and step on it and its powder! and then you cant be busted because the evidence is blown away! so that's it. [ ] * Car Destruction * Take an empty tyenol bottle and fill it with liquid draino. Make sure the lid is sealed good, so it doesn't leak out any liquid draino. Then slip the bottle into the persons gas tank. What happens is the draino eats through the bottle and hits the gas, a chemical reaction take place then Kaboom!!! [ ] * making M-80 and M-100s * FLASH POWDER Flash powder is a chemical mixture that burns so fast that it appears to burn instantly, producing a bright flash of light. Flash powder will produce an extremely loud explosion in amounts larger than 4 ounces even when it is not contained Very small amounts of flash powder will produce a very loud explosion when contained, even in a container made of a few layers of paper. Flash powder is usually made from a very fine powdered metal that will burn and an oxidizer. Powdered aluminum is used the most because it is cheaper. Powdered magnesium and zinc will also work. The oxidizer can be Barium Nitrate, Ammonium Perchlorate, Barium Peroxide, Strontium Nitrate, Potassium Chlorate, Potassium Perchlorate, Sodium Chlorate, Potassium Permanganate, others, and any combination of these. All the Chlorate are friction and impact sensitive, and also the Permanganate. Potassium Perchlorate is the least sensitive of the Chlorates. All the chemicals should be crushed into a very fine powder, about 400 Mesh or smaller. 400 Mesh is about like kitchen type flour. Black German Aluminum is a brand name for aluminum powder. It has a partical size of 600 Mesh for 98% of the aluminum material. The other 2% of the material is larger than 600 Mesh. There are other aluminum powders made by other companies that are equal to or better than Black German Aluminum. Aluminum Pyro Powder is also a brand name. The partical size is (98%-400) or 98% of the material is smaller than 400 Mesh. The other 2% is larger than 400 Mesh. FLASH POWDER FORMULAS 1. This formula is one of the best. It produces a very, very, extremely loud explosion. Easy to ignite with a fuse. It is not moisture absorbent. Not very sensitive to impact or friction. Sodium Chlorate or Potassium Chlorate can be used instead of Potassium Perchlorate but it then becomes very sensitive to friction and impact. 4 ounces of this mixture will produce an explosion equal to one stick of dynamite! Potassium Perchlorate 2 oz. Aluminum Powder 600 Mesh 1 oz. 2. This formula produces and extremely loud explosion, almost as good as formula #1. This is what most firecrackers, M-80's and other fireworks are made with. Potassium Perchlorate 2 oz. Aluminum Powder 400 Mesh 1 oz. 3. This formula is equal to formula #2 It is not sensitive to friction or impact Barium Peroxide 9 oz. 50%/50% Magnesium aluminum powder 200 Mesh 1 oz. 4. This formula works as good as formula #2 but it produces a very bright flash. This formula is what use to be used for the photo flash for the old box type cameras about 100 years ago Barium Nitrate 3 oz. Potassium Perchlorate 3 oz. Aluminum Powder 400 Mesh 4 oz. 5. This formula works very good. It is not very impact or friction Sensitive. It produces a very, very loud explosion. Potassium Perchlorate contains 46.1914% oxygen. Half as powerful as #2. Potassium Perchlorate 2 oz. Sulfur 1 oz. Aluminum Powder 400 Mesh 1 oz. 6. This formula works as good as #5 but it has a disadvantage of being moisture absorbent and it is very impact and friction sensitive. Sodium Chlorate contains 45.0937% oxygen. Produces a very, very loud explosion. Equal to #5. Sodium Chlorate 2 oz. Sulfur 1 oz. Aluminum Powder 400 Mesh 1 oz. 7. This formula is very dangerous because it is very sensitive to friction and impact and could explode during the construction of any explosive device. Potassium Chlorate contains 39.1664% oxygen. This formula produces and explosion almost equal to #5 or #6. Used in the manufacture of toy cap pistol caps. Potassium Chlorate 2 oz. Sulfur 1 oz. Aluminum Powder 1 oz. 8. This formula is very, very very sensitive to impact, friction and static electricity, even more sensitive than #7. Extremely dangerous! Will ignite even when wet. Potassium Chlorate 6.7 oz. Red Phosphorus 2.7 oz. Sulfur 0.3 oz. Calcium Carbonate 0.3 oz. 9. This formula has slightly less explosive power than #7. It is slightly friction and impact sensitive. Potassium Permanganate contains 40.4961% oxygen. This formula will ignite itself if it gets wet. Very loud explosion. Potassium Permanganate 2 oz. Sulfur 1 oz. Aluminum Powder 1 oz. 10. This formula produces a very small explosion when ignited in a paper tube. A much louder explosion is produced when it is ignited in a very strong container. It is impact and friction sensitive. Potassium Chlorate 7.5 oz. Charcoal dust 1.5 oz. Sulfur 1.0 oz. 11. No information is available about this formula. Potassium Chlorate 6 oz. Antimony Sulfide 3 oz. Sulfur 1 oz. 12. This formula is a little louder than formula #10. Impact and friction sensitive. Produces a small explosion in a paper container. Sodium Chlorate 7.5 oz. Charcoal dust 1.5 oz. Sulfur 1.0 oz. 13. No information is available about this formula. Potassium Chlorate 7.5 oz. Gallic acid 2.2 oz. Red gum 0.3 oz. !CAUTION! The mixture of any chlorate with phosphorus or sulfur is extremely sensitive to friction and percussion and explodes with great violence. Chlorate explosives must not be stored together with ammonium nitrate explosives, since ammonium chlorate which is formed when these two substances are brought in contact, explodes. When mixing chlorate explosives, crush all of the chemicals separately. Sift the oxidizer through a piece of screen wire to break up the material into small pieces. Then sift the other chemicals also if they need it. Mix all of the flash powder chemicals together and mix well by sifting them through a piece of screen wire or by shaking them in a ZIP LOCK bag. This mixture is very sensitive to friction, impact, heat, spark, static electricity 4 ounces of flash powder has the same explosive power as one stick of dynamite. One gross of M-80 firecrackers is equal to 3 sticks of dynamite. 8 ounces of flash powder will make 100 M-80 type firecrackers if each M-80 contains 1/2 teaspoon of flash powder. M-80's with 1/4 teaspoon of flash powder produces an explosion that sounds almost exactly the same as M-80's with 1/2 teaspoon of flash powder, but it has less destructive power. 24 ounces of flash powder will make 100 M-100 type firecrackers. (And these are awsome!) Quick Conversions: 3 teaspons = 1 tablespoon 4 tablespoons = 1/4 cup 1/4 cup = 2 oz. M-80 & M-100 CONSTRUCTION ------------------------- 1. PLUG ONE END OF THE PAPER TUBE. Run a small amount of Elmer's glue around the side of an end plug or the inside edge of the paper tube. Insert the end plug, convex side first, into the paper tube. Push it in until the back edge of the plug is flush with the edge of the paper tube. 2. FUSE THE PAPER TUBE. Using a 1/8 inch drill bit, an ice pick or a sharp nail, punch a hole through one side of the paper tube in the middle. NEVER puncture a case that contains flash powder. The paper tube should always be fused before the flash powder is added. Cut the fuse to 1 1/2 inches in length and insert it into the hole at least halfway across the inside diameter of the paper tube. Run a small amount of Elmer's glue around the fuse and let it dry. 3. MIXING THE FLASH POWDER Extreme caution should be used when mixing flash powder. Flash powder is extremely dangerous and explodes with great force. Avoid all sources of friction, impact, flame, sparks and static electricity. 4. FILL THE PAPER TUBES Stand the paper tubes on end, open end up. Using a small funnel and a measuring spoon 1/2 teaspoon, fill the paper tubes 1/2 to 2/3 full. Do not fill the tubes completely full or pack in the flash powder. By leaving an air space there is room for the flash powder to expand when ignited which will produce a much louder explosion. 5. INSERT THE FINAL END PLUG Plug the open end in the same way that you plugged the first end. MATERIALS NEEDED FOR ONE M-80 1. One paper tube, 1/2 inch inside diameter, 1/16 inch wall thickness, 1 1/2 inches long. 2. Two paper end plugs 1/2 inch outside diameter, 1/16 inch paper thickness. 3. One 3/32 diameter water proof fuse about 1 1/2 inches long. 4. 1/2 teaspoon of flash powder. 5. 10 drops of Elmer's glue. __ ___________ __ end | o | end plug __| ___________ |__ plug fuse ^ hole | ______|_____ |M80 or M100 | |____________| MATERIALS NEED FOR ONE M-100 ---------------------------- 1.

Check your phone book for water treatment equipment and supplies. Ammonium Nitrate. Can be bought from any farmers co-op or lawn and garden center. Red Phosphorus. The white tip on wooden kitchen matches contains red phosphorus Check your phone book yellow pages for industrial chemical supplies, they will usually have most of these chemicals. When you call, tell them you are with a beginning rock band and want it for some special effects on stage. They will fall for that every time... Now you probably wonder where you can get the paper tubes and end caps. Ok just write: FULL AUTO CO. INC. P.O. Box 1881 Murfreesboro, TN. 37133 And ask for a catalog. M-80 size tubes are 100-$5. End plugs are 200-$3.5 M-100 size tubes are 100-$9. End plugs are 200-$5. You must have an order form to order this. They also sell all the chemicals you need to make flash powder. You must be over 21 or at least sign the order that says that you are 21. There is no way that they can find out. I DO NOT suggest that you buy their water proof fuse because it sucks! Go to a gun shop in your area and ask for cannon fuse. It's probably around 35 to 40 cents a foot and is water proof and MUCH better quality. You do have to be 16 or 18 to buy it. [ ] *TWENTY WAYS TO DISRUPT SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES* Basically anti-social, anti-establishment? Hate school? Who doesn't! Here's 20 things to screw up those JOCK-O-RAMA pep rallies and various other senseless assemblies in your fascist school...just TRY to have fun.. 1. When the cheerleaders start bouncing (literally) around trying to get all the wretched students to do their demonic, assinine chants (Beat 'em up beat 'em up, rah rah rah! Snap those spinal cords, ha ha ha!" , you should get everyone to chant something like "The New Discipline Management Plan SUCKS - The New Discipline Management Plan SUCKS!" etc. 2. When the cheerleaders yell, "Are you ready!??"--You yell reeeal loud, "NO!" 3. After their cheers yell stuff like, "Violence Rulez! Guns R cool! And we've got guns, in our school!" 4. Yell cheerleader, twirlers, football players names when they are introduced or just simply to embarrass them... 5. Stand up and ask in a loud voice for one of the cheerleaders to marry you. 6. Say in a loud voice, "I gotta go to the bathroom!" then walk down in the middle of the pep rally and leave. If they try to stop you, just start hoping up and down like you can't hold it...They'll let ya go...when they say, "ok, you can go!", run as fast as you can to a remote bathroom(i.e.-home) where they can't follow you... 7. When a twirler drops her baton or a cheerleader messes up, laugh as loud as you can...i mean REALLY LAUGH HARD! 8. If like the principle comes up behind you and sits, turn around and say, "Ok, Mr. So-n-So, on the count of three yell, Down with Mr. So-n-So (his name in both places) 9. Get those air horns and rig it up to where when someone sits down, it'll go off....everone will look around dumbfounded to see who's doing it... They'll never know... 10. Water Balloons is a definate possibly, but i don't suggest it...yesterday at ours, i was playing with this purple balloon like a beachball...ya know, bouncing it between people and 'accidently' letting it get away from you where hopefully someone will pop it...or you could just pop a few yourself 11. If you're terribly brave or stupid you can stand up and yell, "East Lubbock/Wherever Rulez!" or "Beaners suck!" 12. The airhead cheerleaders ask you to yell, right? Yell at all times... even when it's supposed to be semi-quiet... 13. Make a fire. 14. Spray the cheerleaders pom-poms with that dog training stuff or fart spray 15. If you're in the band, play the music that you think is more suiting for a pep rally... 16. Scream anti-scholastic things during the school song 17. DO a complete reversal and dance to the fight song...(this one is good if you are sitting near the front or the middle)...just stand up and dance and sing the words if ya know 'em! 18. (this one is unlikely for some reason...) Write your name or the opposing teams name on the gym/football field with like kerosine and light'er up! 19. Get snap -n- pops and sit at the top and throw 'em at everone.(heh) 20. Lock 'em up! That's right! Get chains and lock all doors to the gym... ..then ya got 2000 angry students with only 15 teachers..I dunno who would want out worse, the students or the teachers...heh. (I tried alot of these for the first pep rally of the season at my stupid private school...I didn't get to try the things that required planning (burning the school down, lock ups, air horn, ect) but I did do all of the yells and dancing and proposing marriage, chanting, singing, ect.) Thanks to myself for writing this file, and the corrupt administrators for giving me something to write about... [ ] * How to have fun at school * Your first day of school you should bring the following items, to insure a prosperous school year: 1) Fountain pen (and extra ink refills) 2) 3 tubes of Super Glue (Krazy Glue) 3) Pennies (about $1.00 worth) 4) Baloons (small sized for convieniance) 5) Mirror (small hand held) 6) Liquid soap 7) Lighter, (matches as alternate) 8) Firecrackers (ladyfingers are great) 9) Screwdrivers and other tools (small) 10) Small squeezable bottles (like nasal de-congestant type) 11) Wire (10-20 ft) 12) Tape recorder mic. (batter operated pref.) 13) Ziplock baggies 14) Half of an orange 15) Ligth bulb (75 watts and over are great) This will do for now... Some of the cool things to do are, take the pennies and glue them to the cafeteria tables, (and watch the custodians try to get 'em off). (this also looks good with silver dollars glued to the fire alarm (so it goes off when the custodian attempts to remove the coin) and to a door someplace.... (principals preferably)) Another thing to do with a coin is, heat it up over a bunson burner (in chem) and just as the bell rings, toss the coin into the hall, I will guarantee you will know when the coin is picked up... While your using the bunson burner, fill your little squeeze bottle with gas, then cap it tight and put it in your pocket... later, take a firecracker, and glue it to the bottle, use a cigarette as a fuse extension, then put it in the bathroom, and get to class fast... (gas and glue make a nice flame)... While your in the bathroom, place a light bulb over the door, and when the superintendant goes to see what the explosion was, he gets a nice little surprise... Now for the wire, if you can access a room near your locker, when no one is in the room, take off the speaker cover on the pa system, and hook 2 wires from it, to your mic. ( then into your locker) This is good for getting your friends out of classes... Just ask for them... (use your tools for that one, and try to be neat about it)... Now for your mirror, you can use this for getting your, uh... "Friends" locker combanation.... after you get that, take that little baggie you got, and put the orange in it... let it sit for a week or four, then open the baggie, and place it in your friends locker... I can guarentee he/she will love it... Another thing that is fun to do, is, Take a penny, and glue it over the key hole on your friends gym locker, just after he goes out, thus he has to truck around all day in his gym stuff, (unless you rent him your screwdriver to pry the penny off) Ballons are fun to play with in chem lab, fill them with the gas that you get out of the taps on the lab desks, then tie up the baloon tight, and drop it out the window to the burnouts below, you know, the ones that are always smoking, they love to pop baloons with lit cigaretts.... get the picture? Good... Those fountain pens are cool, because if you make a slight jerking motion with your hand, ink squirts all over the room, (or person, what ever your aiming at) It is a good idea not to let the teachers know you have one of those, it makes it too easy to find out who did it when theres ink all over the principals face... (or on the floors, walls, and ceilings...) Liquid soap is great for use in crowded hallways, it turns everybody into a ice skating star, (works especially well when people come in from the rain)... If your school is anything like the one I goto, people never flush the toiletts, A little liquid soap in here makes for a nice surprise, I mean, what happens when the soap is not flushed out of the toilett, and the suds are'nt flushed out either? The janitors have a really good time trying to figure out that one... (glue a quarter in one of the urinals, always ane)... Turn off the water under the sinks too... Getting back to the soap, it is also good on the hand railings in hallways and on steps, If you mix perfume with it, some poor grub has to have that stench on him all day.... I shall start off with some of the cool aspects of a school cafeteria. As most of you know, this is not a very nice place, or atleast it's not very nice in my school., you have to get out there and catch the food before it gets away... but in any case... 1) School Cafeterias: In this ever growing world of terrorism, and practical jokes, you should learn the basic methods and uses of ketchup. This red stuff that they use to cover the mold on the french-fries, makes a nice stain on peoples clothing. So... take a few packets of ketchup, and during phys. Ed. you take the pack and put little holes in it, then put it in someones back pocket, (preferably white pants), do this while they are out in the gym, and you are alone in the locker room... It's a gas when they get up after pulling their pants on and there 'Bleeding...'... 2) Marbles are very cool... especially glass ones and steel ones, what you do is, get into your 'Friends' locker and (if he/she has a shelf) take a book and brace it up at an angle, and leave them alot of marbles to play with... so when they open their locker, they should have no problem watching them spill all over the floor... then they get little questions like 'Hey man, did you loose all your marbles?' and 'Is this a throw back to your child hood?'. This is even better when they have to go out in the middle of a class period and when all the marbles fall out he has teachers all over him asking 'What do you think your doing?' and the ever popular 'Wheres your pass?'... 3) You can improve on the marbles scheme by using water/perfume filled baloons or plastic baggies. 'Cause, howd you like to go around smelling like a flower all day long (if your a boy), if your a girl, then your a wet flower... your 'Friend' walks down the hallway 'Squish. Squish Squish' from all the water in their sneakers... 4) Do any of your parents have old contact lens fluid bottles? (small) If so then your in luck... if you fill these with water and walk down a crowded hall you can have alot of fun... Spray your victem so it looks like he/she took a leak in thier pants... in a crowded hall-way, the'll never notice till someone says.. 'Hey, Professor Leaky... Turn off the faucets...'... If you want to be even meaner, then you can take the bottle and fill it with the juices from a rotten egg.. now its' one thing to piss in your pants, but if you go around smelling like rotten eggs all day, whew... I can almost guarntee a suspension or a free trip home... (very embarrasing)... 5) During your free period, goto a pay phone and call the front office, and have your victim paged to the front office... tell the front office that you are the boy/girls father and your coming to pick them up for an emergency doctors appointment... and to go and get his/her books... then they sit in the front office for 1/2 an hour, (and miss class).. then they say ' Hey, did you and some of your friends pull this stunt so you wouldnt have to goto class?!?!.. Goto the principals office NOW!' Good 'eh? 6) Heres some fun to have at the library... goto the magazine rack and replace the Sports Ill. and the other widely read magazines with Playboy and some of the others... (rip off the Sports. Ill. cover and put Playboy inside) You should see the expressions on the girls faces when they open that sucker up... (or on the teachers faces)... 7) Hide a cheap radio ($3.00 things that you get from radio shack (am)) and set it to blast when the locker is opend. (set it on some queer station) To set the wiring up.. Open up the radio and disconnect one of the wires going to the switch, turn the switch on. Now take the wire you just disconnected and run it to another switch, and a wire from the other end of that switch to the old switch... now tape the switch into the locker in a way that whenever the locker is opend, the switch will go on, and whenever the door closes, the switch will go off... this is embarrasing, especially when you cant find the radio to turn it off... Have you ever noticed that the water fountains in schools have two holes in them (for the water to come out of)... I have no idea why they are there... (maybe some one put them there for us to put to some GOOD use), take some chewing gum and plug up the bottom hole, this is great because that forces the water out of the top hole at HIGH PRESSURE thus getting alot of people wet (espoecially the person getting the drink)... to give you an estimate of how much power there is, in our school, the auto shop ceiling is about 20 ft up, and when the gum is in place the water hits the ceiling (if it wasnt there it would continue another 5 to 10 feet...) You people have all seen those little toy pellet guns that shoot the little yellow plastic BB's... well, these are good in the hallways between classes (or out the windows at the people that are cutting classes) just be carefull not to hit people in the eyes... (un-less it is intentional) I dont know if this is standard in all schools (I suppose this will pertain to some of you), you may have these long 'Airconditioner/Heaters' (they never work) BUT... in our school these heaps of junk have a small opening for a 5/32 Allen key, these are usefull for turning off the cold air in the winter and turning it on in the warmer months...) Itching powder is fun... (especialy if theres someone in front of you in a class or two that you dont like..) just dump a little of this down there back. WHAT? You dont have any... well, as I said before, I work in a hardware store and I can tell you for a FACT that the fiberglass in isulation itches ALL DAY! all you have to do is get some insulation and shake it out onto a peice of newspaper (tear it up a little if you have to) and soon you will have a small pile of shards of fiberglass.. put it into a small baggie or film container, and keep it in class with you... NOTE: Use gloves when you do this... this WILL drive you insane by the end of the day if you get any into your hands... Do you have any dead animals laying around? A dead rat or some animal you have scraped up off the road? If not you should have one... you take them into the bathrooms at school and lift off the top (exposing the flush mechanism) and you insert the animal into there... if it's warm, and moist then this animal will start to rot, and smell extreamly bad... you may get lucky (if they cant find it) you MAY even get a day off from school while they look for it... Hey, if your school has a computer classroom that has a small multi-plexer (so the teacher can see what you are doing)... well.. have some fun.. change the cables around so the teacher does not know who she is looking at (or you can make your terminal the master terminal. *Bathroom Bombs* Materials: A birthday or other small candle 1 M-80 Silly Putty Scrape off the bottom of the candle so that a half inch wick is on the bottom. Tie the end of the wick to the fuse of the M-80. Place a small ammount of silly putty on one side of the candle, and a small ammount on one side of the M-80. Use as little as possible, just enough to make it stick! Now the hard part, you need to lean over and stick the candle and the M-80 to the underside of the toilet. Be careful and make sure no one is going to dunk you. Light the candle and get out of the bathroom as calmly as possible. You have anywhere from thirty seconds to one minute so you have time to wash your hands and act normal. Make sure that you are nowhere NEAR the bathroom because the teachers will interogate anyone in the vicinity of the area. Now you can have a BLAST at school! (Litterally) *The Cigarette Flash* Materials: Filterless Cigarette Lighter Small Viel of Thinner Matchbook This on is FUN! Splash the thinner all over the toilet paper in the stall. Open the matchbook and place the cigarette in the match book so that the matchbook holds the cigarette in place firmly. Place the combination matchbook/cigarette under the toilet paper any way you can fit it in there. Now the fun part. Light the cigarette and get out of the stall calmly. With this you have between two and five minutes (2-5) so you have plenty of time to act normal and leave the bathroom at a steady pace!! /\ /CC\ / \\ <---- Place the cigarette between the top and the matches / \\ ___________ | TTTTTTT | | TTTTTTT | <---- Put the matchbook/cigarette under the thinner soaked | Match | toilet paper. ----------- Now have FUN! And be smart....don't spill the thinner all over yourself unless you want to burn in hell (Pun)!! Hello! And welcome to...ummm...issue #6 of Firecracker FUN! In this issue we will discuss the FLAMER which is the final issue of mild firecracker fun. The next 5-8 issues will be called: "Flaming GLORY!" and will hols some more potent things OTHER THAN firecrackers and oil! Sooo....I hope that you enjoyed this series and I REALLY hope that you look forward to all my future series and issues! Materials: 1/4 gallon gasoline 1/4 gallon oil 6 inch candle LOTS of toilet paper!!! This one is scary....and FUN! At home mix the 1/4 gallon of gasoline with the 1/4 gallon of oil. Place the mixture in a gallon bag that is easy to conceal. At school put the toilet paper in the toilet until it reaches the level of the water. Take the candle and place it firmly into the toilet paper so that it will stay upright for about 5 minutes. After all that slowly pour the mixture gas/oil into the toilet. Light the candle and you will have 10-15 minutes to get out. This one is pretty scary if you are in the bathroom at the time! There is NO noise but if you are anywhere NEAR the stall you will see a LARGE flame leap up into the air!! KEWL! [ ] * Fun with Fireworks * There are MANY ways to have fun with firecrackers....but the best are when you can actually use them. My favorite ways are the Tube, the rocket, and the big bang. The tube us a relatively normal arrangement...just that all the bottle rockets should go off at the same time. But what you do is take three or four bottle rockets (the kind with the plastic caps) and fill the caps with some type of contact explosive. Then tape them all together with duct or electric tape. Then tie all the fuses together and place into a metal tube. Light fuse and have fun....try not to blow off your hand or other body part! By the way....you do not really need to fill the cap with an explosive....but it add's to the BANG!! ---------000000> <---- Fill cap with contact explosive ---------00XX00> ---------00XX00> <---- Tape all together! ---------00XX00> ---------00XX00> ---------00XX00> <---- Tie all fuses together ---------00XX00> Place them in a pipe and have fun *The Rocket* Materials: A 2 or 3 Stage Rocket Superglue Tape Shredded Paper M-80 firecracker All other equipment for launching Any 2 or 3 stage rocket will work fine. You must be willing to to loose a rocket so I suggest not painting, because it would be just a waste of time and money. You can get a good 3 stage rocket for under $30 and the M-80's you can buy at almost any firecracker store for between $.80 - $1.00!! First put the rocket together. Then place the boosters in the bottom stage(s). In the uppermost stage glue the M-80 into place with the fuse pointing downward. Place the end of the fuse onto the upper part of the adjoining booster and tape it into place with a small piece of tape. Fill the paracute area sparcely with shredded paper. Wait until the glue holding the M-80 dries and then finish putting the rocket together. Now you are ready to go! But be smart...don't launch the rocket in someone's face or into a building unless you are willing to take responsibility for it! And try not to kill yourself in the process! What is supposed to happen is as you launch the rocket the first stage's booster burns with an extremely high intensty and heat. As the booster nears the to it ignites a flameable substance that pushes upward igniting the booster above it and ejecting it from the rest of the rocket. When the substance shoots upward into the M-80 it will ignite the fuse or it will detonate the M-80 immediatly (I am not sure which). Then as the M-80 detonates it will blow the cap of the rocket off ejecting anything in the paracute chamber. BBBBOOOOOOO> <---- Place booster in the bottom stage(s) BBBBM-80OOO> <---- Glue M-80 in stage above booster and tape fuse BBBBM-80PPP> <---- Put shredded paper in paracute chamber *Big BANG* Materials: 10-15 M-80's Long fuse...2 feet Duct or Electric Tape LUCK!!! Ok. Now. Put all the M-80's into a circle packed as tightly together as possible. Next put two or even three layers of tape arround the group of M-80's. Connect all the fuses together pointing inward and tie (If you tape it use as little tape as possible) it to the long piece of fuse. Then place upright or if you want to have fun, bury it a foot underground (if you do this you must have a straw or a pipe leading the fuse into the ground) and light the fuse. Now what you have here is like two or three sticks of dynamite, so get as far away as possible and hit the ground!! The explosion will be a HELL of a lot louder than a small stick of dynamite so cover your ears, don't be a hero and go deaf! [ ] *How To Make Low Explosives* There are many formulas for low explosives, which, although they do not have the power or impact of the high explosives, are generally safer to use and handle. It may seem at first that an explosive compound that has less power is a disadvantage, but this is not true. If a high-explosive charge were used to set off a bullet in a gun, the gun would probably explode in the user's face. Therefore, low explosives have a definite purpose and use, and are not interchangeable with high explosives. Although I stated above that, generally speaking, low explosives are more stable than high explosives, there are some low-explosive compounds that are as dangerous as high-explosive compounds, if not more so. Below is a chart of the most common low-explosive compounds and their stabilities and merit. [Potassium and sodium nitrate gunpowders]: These are without a doubt one of the safest low explosives to handle. They are especially good when packed into a tight container, and exploded under pressure. [Smokeless powder]: This type of low explosive is much like the one mentioned above, in the sense that it is extremely stable, but it is much more powerful. It also needs the element of pressure in the actual demolition work. [Potassium chlorates with sulfates]: Any mixture of potassium or sodium chlorates should be avoided at all costs, since most combinations will explode immediately, on formation, and those that don't are extremely unstable and likely to explode at any time. [Ammonium nitrate with chlorates]: This is similar to the compounds discussed above. These are extremely hazardous compounds, with very unstable ingredients. [Potassium chlorate and red phosphorus]: This combination is probably the most unstable and highly sensitive of all the low explosives. It will explode immediately and violently upon formation, even in the open when not under pressure. [Aluminum or megnesium with potassium chlorate or sodium peroxide]: Any of these combinations, although not quite as unstable as the one discussed above, is still too sensitive to experiment or play around with. [Barium chlorate with shellac gums]: Any mixture employing either barium or barium nitrate and carbon, or barium chlorate and any other substance, must be given great care. Barium nitrate and strontium nitrate mixed together form a very sensitive explosive, but the danger is greatly increased with the addition of charcoal, or carbon. [Barium and strontium nitrate with aluminum and potassium perchlorate]: This combination is relatively safe, as is the combination of barium nitrate and sulfur, potassium nitrate, and most other powdered metals. [Guanidine nitrate and a combustible]: This combination of guanidine nitrate and a combustible (i.e. powdered antimony) is one of the safest of all low explosives. [Potassium bichromate and potassium permanganate]: This is a very sensitive and unstable compound, and should be avoided, as it is really too hazardous to work with or handle. The low-explosive reaction is based on the principle of a combustible material combined with an oxidizing agent, in other words combining a material that burns easily with another material which in the chemical reaction will supply the necessary oxygen for the combustible's consumption. Listed below are the most common low-explosive combinations of oxidizing agents and combustibles. The first ingredient listed is the oxidizer, and the second is the combustible: [1> Nitric acid and resin. [2> Barium nitrate and magnesium. [3> Ammonium nitrate and powdered aluminum. [4> Barium peroxide and zinc dust. [5> Ammonium perchlorate and asphaltum. [6> Sodium chlorate and shellac gum. [7> Potassium nitrate and charcoal. [8> Sodium peroxide and flowers of sulfur. [9> Magnesium perchlorate and woodmeal. [10> Potassium perchlorate and cane sugar. [11> Sodium nitrate and sulfur flour. [12> Potassium bichromate and antimony sulfide. [13> Guanidine nitrate and powdered antimony. [14> Potassium chlorate and red phosphorus. [15> Potassium permanganate and powdered sugar. [16> Barium chlorate and parrafin wax. The combinations that are most unstable and sensitive are numbers 3, 5, 7, 13, 14, 15, and 16. These should be avoided. [ ] * How to Make Nitroglycerine As most people know, nitroglycerin is an extremely powerful explosive, used largely today by industry, and made in huge cement mixers that hold hundreds of gallons. It is not safe to make, and you shouldn't even think of making any unless you plan to use it (and don't make more than you need). I hope anyone who does make some has had atleast some chemistry and a little bit of brains. MATERIALS: 1) 70% concentrated nitric acid 2) 98% concentrated sulfuric acid 3) Glycerin 4) Baking soda 5) A *GOOD* thermometer and glassware (beakers, glass rod-stirring device, test tubes, eyedropper, whatever--must be all glass materials though. Acid eats everything else. Also, whatever you use to hold your solutions should have as thin a glass wall as possible--to diffuse heat faster.) 6) Very large ice-bath 7) Gloves, Goggles, etc. 8) Blue litmus paper 9) Kitchen sink OBTAINING MATERIALS: Nitric acid can be bought for about $19+ per gallon (it's cheaper to buy in this quantity). You need to be 21, but some chemical places don't care. Sulfuric acid can be bought the same way, at $14+ per gallon. Glycerine can be bought at any drug store. You won't need half as much glycerine as acid. The actual quantity and ratio varies--and is really unimportant in this recipe. The thermometer and glassware, etc., can be bought by anyone, but it's cheaper to 'borrow' from chem lab. If you have to buy, there should be a place near any college campus that sells the stuff. THE REACTION: H ! H-C-O-NO2 ! H-C-O-NO2 ===========> N2 + CO2 + O2 + H2O ! H-C-O-NO2 ! H PROCEDURE: 1) Mix by volume 3 parts sulfuric acid with 1 part nitric. Add the sulfuric to the nitric *NOT* vice versa (you never add water to acid because it splatters, and the nitric is 30% water). Your beaker/test tube should be contained in the ice bath because this solution is gets *HOT*--but isn't dangerous, yet. Stir a little bit, but don't put your face right over it (vapors). Wait til it cools to 0-5 degrees centigrade. You'll need to rig some kind of contraption, if you don't have the proper lab equipment, in order to keep the thermometer from touching the edge of the beaker/test tube--an accurate reading is *VERY* important. 2) Once the acids are cool enough you can start adding glycerin. While stirring constantly, use the eyedropper and add about 5 drops. If the heat doesn't rise, add 8 drops, and see what happens. Keep adding larger amounts until the temperature rises. Once it does, wait (don't stop stirring til at least 30 seconds after adding glycerine) for the temperature to drop back down to 0-5 degreees centigrade. DON'T EVER LET THE TEMPERATURE GET ABOVE 30 DEGREES CENTIGRADE--If you do, you lose. It might not blow up, but it will decompose, and you'll get nothing but garbage (the person who designed this recipe has had it go as high as 40 and not explode). To be safe, keep it below 20 degrees centigrade, and if it gets above that, dump the whole thing in the ice bath (there better be plenty of ice too, cause sulfur and water react, and you need plenty of ioce to keep that reaction cool). The nitroglycerin reaction is done when the glycerine you add no longer affects the temperature. 3) The nitroglycerin is slowly decomposing at this point, so you want to work fast here. The sulfuric has only been a catalyst for the reaction and needs to be washed out. Fill a container 10x the volume of your solution with ice water (again, ice is important cause sulfur and water react giving off enough heat to set off the nitro) and add your solution to it. Stir thoroughly (nitro and water don't mix). Let the nitro seperate (it will settle to the bottom) and pour off the water (acids and all) down the drain. Put your saolution under the tap and add more water. Stir again and let settle (settling can be helped by adding a little of ordinary dishsoap--like half a drop). Pour off again. Repeat the process 3 or 4 times. Make sure *ALL* the water is poured off (to get the last little bit, try dragging paper it stays blue, everything is fine. If it turns red, wash your solution a few more times. 4) After the solution is 'clean', wash with a baking soda solution (1 tsp./ quart of water). Follow the same steps outlined above, but only wash once. Pour your final solution into a glass bottle. Put in the fridge. CAUTIONS: First of all, store nitroglycerin in a cool place--like the fridge (or try the freezer. I don't know what the freezing point is). Label it so nobody accidently dumps it or drinks it. If you still live at home, then bury it in the fridge and disguise it so your parents wouldn't want to touch it or examine it. You don't really need to keep it that cold. You could fairly safely store it in your closet. Although if you live in an area with extreme heat (like Palm Springs) it might not be a good idea. Don't breath the vapors or swallow any--you'll get a short but incredible headache. If you touch some you'll get the headache of your life that will last up to 12 hours. DETONATION: What you wil probably want to try as soon as you make nitroglycerin is a simple little experiment to prove to yourself it works. Put *ONE* drop on a paper towell and strike with a hammer. Nitro, in this form, is not all that easy to blow up. Throwing a bottle of the stuff at a wall or dropping it off a five story building will do nothing more than break the bottle. The best way to detonate nitroglycerin is with a wax coated firecracker taped on the inside of your container. VARIATIONS: Putty- Mix your final solution with sawdust or diatomacious earth (which you can get at pool stores) to the consistency of silly putty. All this does is make your nitro easier to work with. Flash Paper- This is a little more difficult to make, a little safer, and maybe more fun. Instead of adding glycerin to your acids in step 2, use gun cotton (*REAL* cotton). You don't have to watch the temperature either. Just toss a bunch of cotton in and let it soak up your solution (don't be stupid though--add them slowly the first time). You don't need to be in as much of a rush either because it doesn't decompose as fast. You're nitrating the cotton, so let it sit a couple hours in the mix. Then pour off all the acid and wash in water (the same way you wash regular nitro), then after it's fairly clean you can pull out the cotton and wash by hand--*VERY WELL*. Let the cotton dry out, then put a piece in a jar with a very small amount of acitone (which you can purchase at any hardware store and is perfectly safe). The cotton will dissolve like cotton candy in water. Any cotton left in the jar should be taken out. Now let the acitone evaporate. There will be a small plastic-like film at the bottom of the jar. You can light this stuff like flash paper. Jelly- If you are brave you can dissolve the 'flash paper' in nitro and get a jelly like substance that is quite powerful and easier to work with. Use very little nitro and a lot of 'flash paper' (you'll have to experiment to find what works best for the consistency you want. [ ] * How to make Nitroglycerine #2 * 1. Fill a 75-milliliter beaker, to the 13-ml level, with fuming red Nitric Acid, of 98 percent concentration 2. Place beaker in an ice bath and allow to cool below room temperature 3. After it has cooled, add to it three times the amount of fuming Nitric Acid 39 milliliters of fuming Sulfuric Acid. When mixing any acids, always do it slowly and carefully to avoid splattering. 4. When the two are mixed, lower their temperature by adding more ice to the ice bath, to about 10 or 15 degrees centigrade. This can be measured by using a mercury-operated centigrade thermometer. 5. When the acid solution has cooled to the desired temperature, it is ready for the Glycerine. The Glycerine must be added in small amounts using a medicine dropper. Glycerine is added, slowly and carefully, until the entire surface is covered with it. 6. This is a dangerous point, since the nitration will take place soon as the Glycerine is added. The nitration will produce heat, so the solution must be kept below 30 degrees Celsius. If the beaker should go above 30 degrees, the beaker should be taken out of the ice bath and the solution should be carefully poured directly into the ice bath, since this will prevent an explosion 7. For about the first ten minutes of nitration, the mixture should be gently stirred. In a normal reaction, the Nitroglycerine will form a layer on top of the acid solution, while the Sulfuric Acid absorbs the excess water. 8. After the nitration has taken place and the Nitroglycerine has formed at the top of the solution, the entire beaker should be transferred very slowly and carefully to another beaker of water. When this is done the Nitroglycerine will settle to the bottom, so that most of the acid solution can be drained away. 9. After moving as much acid as possible without disturbing the Nitroglycerine, remove the Nitroglycerine with an eyedroper and place it in a bicarbonate of soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) solution. The Sodium Bicarbonate is an alkali and will nutralize much of the acid remaining. This process should be repeated as many times as necessary using blue litmus paper to check for the presence of acid. The remaining acid only makes the Nitroglycerine more unstable then it normally is. 10. The final step is to remove the Nitroglycerine from the bicarbonate this is done with an eyedropper, slowly and carefully. The usual test to see if nitration has been successful is to place one drop of the Nitroglycerine on a metal plate and ignite it. If it is true Nitroglycerine it will burn with a clear blue flame. Caution: Nitroglycerine is extremely sensitive to decomposition, heating, dropping, or jarring, and may explode even left undisturbed and cool. Know what you are doing before you make this stuff. [*Nitroglycerine #3*] Nitroglycerine is one of the most sensitive explosives, if it is not the most sensitive. Although it is possible to make it safely, it is difficult. Many a young anarchist has been killed or seriously injured while trying to make the stuff. When Nobel's factories make it, many people were killed by the all-to-frequent factory explosions. Usually, as soon as it is made, it is converted into a safer substance, such as dynamite. An idiot who attempts to make nitroglycerine would use the following procedure: MATERIAL EQUIPMENT distilled water eye-dropper table salt 100 ml beaker sodium bicarbonate 200-300 ml beakers (2) concentrated nitric ice bath container acid (13 ml) ( a plastic bucket serves well ) concentrated sulfuric centigrade thermometer acid (39 ml) blue litmus paper glycerine 1) Place 150 ml of distilled water into one of the 200-300 ml beakers. 2) In the other 200-300 ml beaker, place 150 ml of distilled water and about a spoonful of sodium bicarbonate, and stir them until the sodium bicarbonate dissolves. Do not put so much sodium bicarbonate in the water so that some remains undissolved. 3) Create an ice bath by half filling the ice bath container with ice, and adding table salt. This will cause the ice to melt, lowering the overall temperature. 4) Place the 100 ml beaker into the ice bath, and pour the 13 ml of concentrated nitric acid into the 100 ml beaker. Be sure that the beaker will not spill into the ice bath, and that the ice bath will not overflow into the beaker when more materials are added to it. Be sure to have a large enough ice bath container to add more ice. Bring the temperature of the acid down to about 20 degrees centigrade or less. 5) When the nitric acid is as cold as stated above, slowly and carefully add the 39 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid to the nitric acid. Mix the two acids together, and cool the mixed acids to 10 degrees centigrade. It is a good idea to start another ice bath to do this. 6) With the eyedropper, slowly put the glycerine into the mixed acids, one drop at a time. Hold the thermometer along the top of the mixture where the mixed acids and glycerine meet. DO NOT ALLOW THE TEMPERATURE TO GET ABOVE 30 DEGREES CENTIGRADE; IF THE TEMPERATURE RISES ABOVE THIS TEMPERATURE, RUN LIKE HELL!!! The glycerine will start to nitrate immediately, and the temperature will immediately begin to rise. Add glycerine until there is a thin layer of glycerine on top of the mixed acids. It is always safest to make any explosive in small quantities. 7) adding ice and salt to the ice bath to keep the temperature of the solution in the 100 ml beaker well below 30 degrees centigrade. Usually, the nitroglycerine will form on the top of the mixed acid solution, and the concentrated sulfuric acid will absorb the water produced by the reaction. 8) When the reaction is over, and when the nitroglycerine is well below 30 degrees centigrade, slowly and carefully pour the solution of nitroglycerine and mixed acid into the distilled water in the beaker in step 1. The nitroglycerine should settle to the bottom of the beaker, and the water-acid solution on top can be poured off and disposed of. Drain as much of the acid-water solution as possible without disturbing the nitroglycerine. 9) Carefully remove the nitroglycerine with a clean eye-dropper, and place it into the beaker in step 2. The sodium bicarbonate solution will eliminate much of the acid, which will make the nitroglycerine more stable, and less likely to explode for no reason, which it can do. Test the nitroglycerine with the litmus paper until the litmus stays blue. Repeat this step if necessary, and use new sodium bicarbonate solutions as in step 2. 10) When the nitroglycerine is as acid-free as possible, store it in a clean container in a safe place. The best place to store nitroglycerine is far away from anything living, or from anything of any value. Nitroglycerine can explode for no apparent reason, even if it is stored in a secure cool place. Nitroglyerine NITROGLYCERINE IS A *VERY* DANGEROUS SHOCK SENSITIVE EXPLOSIVE. IT IS USED IN MAKING DYNAMITE, AMONG OTHER THINGS. I AM NOT SURE AS TO THE PROPORTIONS AND AMOUNTS OF CHEMICALS TO BE USED, SO I SHALL USE ESTIMATES. MATERIALS- 70ML CONC. SULFURIC ACID 30ML CONC. NITRIC ACID 10 ML GLYCERINE ICE BATH 150ML BEAKER PUT THE 150ML BEAKER IN THE ICE BATH AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS VERY COLD. SLO WLY ADD THE 70ML SULFURIC AND 30ML NITRIC ACIDS TO THE BEAKER, TRYING TO MAINTA IN A LOW TEMPERATURE. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE STARTS TO LEVEL OFF, ADD ABOUT 10ML GLYCERINE. IF IT TURNS BROWN OR LOOKS FUNNY, **RUN LIKE HELL**. WHEN NITROGLYCE RINE TURNS BROWN, THAT MEANS IT'S READY TO EXPLODE... IF IT STAYS CLEAR AND ALL WORKS WELL, KEEP THE TEMPERATURE AS LOW AS YOU CAN AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW HO URS. YOU THEN SHOULD HAVE SOME NITROGLYCERINE, PROBABLY MIXED WITH NITRIC AND S ULFURIC ACIDS. WHEN YOU SET IT OFF, YOU MUST NOT BE NEARBY. NITROGLYCERINE CAN FILL 10,000 TIMES ITS ORIGINAL AREA WITH EXPANDING GASES. THIS MEANS THAT IF YO U HAVE 10ML'S OF NITROGLYCERINE IN THERE, IT WILL PRODUCE SOME 100,000ML'S OF G ASES. TO MAKE IT INTO DYNAMITE, THE NITROGLYCERINE MUST BE ABSORBED INTO SOMETHING LIKE WOOD PULP OR DIAMAECEOUS EARTH (SPELLED SOMETHING LIKE THAT). [ ] * Formulas For The Straight Dynamite Series * Probably one of the single greatest breakthroughs in explosives came by accident, when Nobel discovered a primitive form of dynamite. One of the primary ingredients of dynamite is nitroglycerine, which has great explosive power, although it has the disadvantage of being ultrasensitive to heat and shock. What dynamite does is to combine the high explosive power of nitro with a stabilizing agent, to render it powerful but safely usable. Nobel developed what is called today the straight dynamite series, which is nothing more than nitro and a stabilizing agent. The most common straight dynamite formulas follow (nitroglycerine will be referred to as NG): [1> NG 32 [10> NG 26 sodium nitrate 28 potassium nitrate 33 woodmeal 10 woodmeal 41 ammonium oxalate 29 guncotton 1 [11> NG 15 sodium nitrate 62.9 [2> NG 24 woodmeal 21.2 potassium nitrate 9 sodium carbonate .9 sodium nitrate 56 woodmeal 9 [12> NG 35 ammonium oxalate 2 sodium nitrate 37 woodmeal 27 [3> NG 35.5 ammonium oxalate 1 potassium nitrate 44.5 woodmeal 6 [13> NG 32 guncotton 2.5 potassium nitrate 27 vaseline 5.5 woodmeal 10 powdered charcoal 6 ammonium oxalate 30 guncotton 1 [4> NG 25 potassium nitrate 26 [14> NG 33 woodmeal 34 woodmeal 10.3 barium nitrate 5 ammonium oxalate 29 starch 10 guncotton .7 potassium perchloride 27 [5> NG 57 potassium nitrate 19 [15> NG 40 woodmeal 9 sodium nitrate 45 ammonium oxalate 12 woodmeal 15 guncotton 3 [16> NG 47 [6> NG 18 starch 50 sodium nitrate 70 guncotton 3 woodmeal 5.5 potassium chloride 4.5 [17> NG 30 chalk 2 sodium nitrate 22.3 woodmeal 40.5 [7> NG 26 potassium chloride 7.2 woodmeal 40 barium nitrate 32 [18> NG 50 sodium carbonate 2 sodium nitrate 32.6 woodmeal 17 [8> NG 44 ammonium oxalate .4 woodmeal 12 anhydrous sodium sulfate 44 [19> NG 23 potassium nitrate 27.5 [9> NG 24 woodmeal 37 potassium nitrate 32.5 ammonium oxalate 8 woodmeal 33.5 barium nitrate 4 ammonium oxalate 10 calcium carbonate .5 The figures given in the right column are percentage parts, adding up to a sum of 100%. Percentage parts are always based on a weight ratio rather than volume. When preparing any high-explosive formulas, be sure you know what you are doing. Have the correct equipment, and the correct chemicals. Many of these chemicals are sold under brand names, which are more familiar than their chemical names, but, before assuming anything, read the ingredients, and take nothing for granted. These formulas listed above are for straight dynamite. Straight dynamite is a very primitive form of what we know today as dynamite. Later ammonium nitrate was added to the dynamite. This substance produced a greater explosive action, but less velocity. The intensification of the explosive action results because ammonium nitrate furnishes more oxygen for the dynamite. Ammonium nitrate has not only been used in dynamite, but also in many other different explosive compounds, including nitroglycerine, picric acid, and coal dust. Ammonium nitrate when mixed with these substances creates the cheapest form of high explosive known to man. [ ] *How To Make TNT* [*TNT*] The name dynamite comes from the Greek word "dynamis", meaning power. Dynamite was invented by Nobel shortly after he made nitroglycerine. It was made because nitroglycerine was so dangerously sensitive to shock. A misguided individual with some sanity would, after making nitroglycerine (an insane act) would immediately convert it to dynamite. This can be done by adding various materials to the nitroglycerine, such as sawdust. The sawdust holds a large weight of nitroglycerine per volume. Other materials, such as ammonium nitrate could be added, and they would tend to desensitize the explosive, and increase the power. But even these nitroglycerine compounds are not really safe. T.N.T., or Tri-Nitro-Toluene, is perhaps the second oldest known high explosive. Dynamite, of course, was the first. It is certainly the best known high explosive, since it has been popularized by early morning cartoons. It is the standard for comparing other explosives to, since it is the most well known. In industry, a T.N.T. is made by a three step nitration process that is designed to conserve the nitric and sulfuric acids which are used to make the product. A terrorist, however, would probably opt for the less economical one step method. The one step process is performed by treating toluene with very strong (fuming) sulfuric acid. Then, the sulfated toluene is treated with very strong (fuming) nitric acid in an ice bath. Cold water is added the solution, and it is filtered. Probably the most inportant explosive compound in use today is TNT (trinitrotoluene). This and other types of high explosives are all used by the military, because of their fantastic power--about 2.25 million pounds per square inch, and their great stability. TNT also has the great advantage of being able to be melted at 82 degrees F., so that it can be poured into shells, mortars, and any other projectiles. Military TNT comes in containers which resemble dry-cell batteries, and are usually ignited by an electrical charge, coupled with an electrical blasting cap, although there are different methods. [ ] *How To Make Tetryl* Tetryl is commonly used in compounds containing TNT, and it works great by itself. Method for the preperation of tetryl: 1. A small amount of dimethyllaniline is dissolved in an excess amount of concentrated sulfuric acid (sulferic acid=battery acid). 2. This mixture is now added to an equal amount of nitric acid. The new mixture is kept in an ice bath and is well stirred. 3. After about five minutes, the tetryl is fltered and washed in cold water. 4. It is now boiled in fresh water, which contains a small amount of sodium bicarbonate(baking soda). This process acts to neutralize the remaining acid. The washings are repeated as many times as necesary according to the litmus paper tests. When you are satisfied that the tetryl is free of acid, filter it from the water and allow it to dry. When tetryl is detonated, it reacts in very much the same way as TNT. 2.0 BUYING EXPLOSIVES AND PROPELLANTS Almost any city or town of reasonable size has a gun store and a pharmacy. These are two of the places that potential terrorists visit in order to purchase explosive material. All that one has to do is know something about the non-explosive uses of the materials. Black powder, for example, is used in blackpowder firearms. It comes in varying "grades", with each different grade being a slightly different size. The grade of black powder depends on what the calibre of the gun that it is used in; a fine grade of powder could burn too fast in the wrong caliber weapon. The rule is: the smaller the grade, the faster the burn rate of the powder. [ ] * BLACK POWDER * Black powder is generally available in three grades. As stated before, the smaller the grade, the faster the powder burns. Burn rate is extremely important in bombs. Since an explosion is a rapid increase of gas volume in a confined environment, to make an explosion, a quick-burning powder is desirable. The three common grades of black powder are listed below, along with the usual bore width (calibre) of what they are used in. Generally, the fastest burning powder, the FFF grade is desirable. However, the other grades and uses are listed below: GRADE BORE WIDTH EXAMPLE OF GUN F .50 or greater model cannon; some rifles FF .36 - .50 large pistols; small rifles FFF .36 or smaller pistols; derringers The FFF grade is the fastest burning, because the smaller grade has more surface area or burning surface exposed to the flame front. The larger grades also have uses which will be discussed later. The price range of black powder, per pound, is about $8.50 - $9.00. The price is not affected by the grade, and so one saves oneself time and work if one buys the finer grade of powder. The major problems with black powder are that it can be ignited accidentally by static electricity, and that it has a tendency to absorb moisture from the air. To safely crush it, a bomber would use a plastic spoon and a wooden salad bowl. Taking a small pile at a time, he or she would apply pressure to the powder through the spoon and rub it in a series of strokes or circles, but not too hard. It is fine enough to use when it is about as fine as flour. The fineness, however, is dependant on what type of device one wishes to make; obviously, it would be impracticle to crush enough powder to fill a 1 foot by 4 inch radius pipe. Anyone can purchase black powder, since anyone can own black powder firearms in America. [ ] * Gun Powder * Charcoal 13% Saltpeter 75% Sulfur 12% -85% Potassium Nitrate 75% Potassium Nitrate -12% Charcoal 15% Charcoal -03% Sulfur 10% Sulfur (Saltpeter is Sodium Nitrate or Potassium Nitrate) Mix dry, add water to make past, let dry, then crush to grain. Do not use metal object when crushing. The chemicals should be ground into a fine powder (seperately!) with a morter ^ pestle. If gunpowder is ignited in the open, it burns fiercly, but if in a closed space it builds up pressure from the released gases and can explode the container. Gunpowder works like this: The potassium nitrate oxidized the charcoal and sulfur, which then burn fiercely. Carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide are gases released. [ ] * Formulas For Black Powder * Gunpowder is the great-granddaddy of all the rest of the high and low power explosives, and still to this day is one of the most important explosives. As with all the rest of the explosive formulas, it seems everyone has his own recipe, which he claims to be the best. I have collected 11 of the safer, more functional, methods of preparing gunpowder. The most important thing to remember when dealing with black powder is its incredible sensitivity to sparks. [1> Potassium perchlorate 69.2 [2> Potassium chlorate 75 Sulfur 15.4 Charcoal 12.5 Charcoal 15.4 Sulfur 12.5 [3> Potassium nitrate 70.4 [4> Potassium nitrate 79 Sulfur 19.4 Sulfur 3 Sodium sulfate 10.2 Straw charcoal 18 [5> Potassium nitrate 64 [6> Potassium nitrate 70.6 Sulfur 12 Sulfur 23.5 Lamp black 7 Antimony sulfate 5.9 Sawdust 17 [8> Potassium nitrate 37.5 [7> Potassium nitrate 50 Starch 37.5 Ammonium perchlorate 25 Sulfur 18.75 Sulfur 12.5 Antimony powder 6.25 Charcoal 12.5 [10> Guanidine nitrate 49 [9> Barium nitrate 75 Potassium nitrate 40 Sulfur 12.5 Charcoal 11 Charcoal 12.5 [11> Sodium peroxide 67 Sodium thiosulphate 33 When preparing black powder for use in firearms, it is important to keep in mind that these formulas are more powderful than ordinary potassium nitrate gunpowder, and for that reason smaller quantities should be used. The correct amount can only be discovered by trial-and-error experimentation, but caution must be taken to prevent overloading. Although black powder is one of the safest explosives, it has a disadvantage: It is extremely sensitive to sparks; and it leaves a messy residue in gun barrels, which necessitates frequent cleaning. The advantage of smokeless powder is the low-explosive class, which gives off only gaseuous products upon explosion. The first type of smokeless powder used by the army was basically nitrocellulose with a small amount of diphenylamine, for stablizer. Smokeless powder is perhaps the safest of any explosive compound, and for that reason is extremely popular today. [ ] * Napalm * 1. Fill the bottom container of a houshold double boiler with nothing 2. Fill the top container with gasoline 3. Using gentle electric heat, bring the gasoline to a boil 4. Slowly pour in powdered form soap flakes 5. Stir the mixture as you pour in the soap flakes 6. Continue until saturation 7. Allow the mixture to simmer, and set for a day or so Everyone knows that Napalm is a substance that will stick to practically anything and whn ignited will burn for a extremely long time.

[ ] * Gun Cotton * Commonly known as smokeless powder, Nitrocellulose is exactly that, it does not give off smoke when it burns. Guncotton is usually called "gunpowder" or "Nitrocellulose". It is more stable than black powder, and it produces a much greater volume of hot gas. It also burns much faster than black powder when it is in a confined space. Finally, nitrocellulose is fairly easy to make, as outlined by the following procedure: 1. In a large beaker mix 2 parts by volume Nirtic Acid with one part Sulphuric Acid 2. To this mixture add sterilized cotton 3. Pour in a small quanity of acetone (Finger Nail Polish Remover) until the cotton dissolves and white crystals are formed, these crystals are gun cotton. 4. This material must be confined to acheive detonation 5. Gun cotton is spark sensitive, but the use of an M-80 or blasting cap is advised [*Gun Cotton #2*] MATERIALS EQUIPMENT cotton (cellulose) two (2) 200-300 ml beakers concentrated nitric acid funnel and filter paper concentrated sulfuric acid blue litmus paper distilled water 1) Pour 10 cc of concentrated sulfuric acid into the beaker. Add to this 10 cc of concentrated nitric acid. 2) Immediately add 0.5 gm of cotton, and allow it to soak for exactly 3 minutes. 3) Remove the nitrocotton, and transfer it to a beaker of distilled water to wash it in. 4) Allow the material to dry, and then re-wash it. 5) After the cotton is neutral when tested with litmus paper, it is ready to be dried and stored.

Keep the balloon over the neck of the bottle until the ballon is full of the resulting gas. This is highly flammable Hydrogen. Now tie the balloon with fusing inserted. Now light the fuse, and let it rise. When the fuse contacts the balloon, Kaboom!! [ ] * Soft Drink Can Bomb * This is an anti-personnel bomb meant for milling crowds. The bottom of a soft drink can is half cut out and bent back. A giant firecracker or other explosive is put in and surrounded with nuts and bolts or rocks. The fuse is then armed with a chemical delay in a plastic drinking straw. After first making sure there are no children nearby, the acid or glycerine is put into the straw and the can is set down by a tree or wall where it will not be knocked over. The delay should give you three to five minutes. It will then have a shattering effect on passersby. It is hardly likely that anyone would pick up and drink from someone else's soft drink can. But if such a crude person should try to drink from your bomb he would break a nasty habit fast !! !! !! <-Chemical Ingiter --------- ! !1! ! ! ===== ! !*! !"! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !<- Big firecracker ! ! !%! ! ==== ! ! ! ! # ! ! --- ! ! ! ! <- Nuts & Bolts ! / ! ! ! --------- [ ] *Slow Burning Fuse (2 inches per minute)* Materials: -Yarn or cotton string -Potassium Nitrate -Granulated sugar 1.

The yield ranges from.1 to 10% by weight, depending on the fertility of the soil.

Spread ashes on cloth. Place second piece of cloth on top of ashes 3 Fill bucket with earth. 4 Place bucket over shallow container. Support bucket with sticks if necessary. 5 Boil water and pour it over earth in bucket a little at a time. Allow water to run through holes in bucket into shallow container. Be sure water runs through all of the earth. Allow liquid to cool and settle for 1 to 2 hours. 6 Carefully drain liquid into heat resistant container. Discard sludge at bottom of shallow container. 7 Boil mixture over hot fire for at least 2 hours. Small grains of salt will appear in the solution. Scoop these out as they form and discard. 8 When liquid has boiled down to about half of its original volume, remove from fire and let sit. After half hour add an equal volume of alcohol. 9 Make an improvised strainer out of paper tape and bucket. Tape paper so that it covers the top of a clean bucket. 10 Pour mixture through paper strainer. Small white salt crystals will collect on top of it. These are potassium nitrate. 11 To purify the potassium nitrate, re-dissolve the dry crystals in the smallest amount possible of boiled water (make sure they all dissolve). Remove any salt crystals that appear (step 7) pour through an improvised filter made of several pieces of paper and evaporate or gently heat solution to dryness. 12 Spread crystals on plat surface and allow to dry. The potassium nitrate crystals are now ready to use. This method was tested, it is effective. Large quantities (1 to 2 pounds) of potassium nitrate can be obtained this way! But be careful, and use common sense [ ] *Bar Rockets* Materials: 1-empty unrinced glass bottle of 80 or so proof alchoholic beverage 1-toothpick 1-of those thin red bar straws 1-lighter or match hot water 1.

When you run the hot water over the bottle the little bit of alchohol still in the bottle turns into a semi-flammable gas. Then when you hold a flame over the bottle it make a small explosion, the force blasts up the straw and shoots it up. Its not that big but a cool trick. [ ] * How To Make Blasting Gelatin * One of the nearly perfect explosive compounds, in the sense of chemical combustion rather than stability, is blasting gelatin. This was discovered by Nobel, and is a very primitive form of plastique, as we know it today. It is made by mixing a small amount of nitrocellulose (nitrated sawdust) with a larger amount of nitroglycerin. This creates a stiff, plastic substance which has power as an explosive greater than either of its ingredients. A person attempting to make this should use 92% nitroglycerin and 8% nitrocellulose, and pray. If you don't want to mess with making nitrocellulose and have access to guncotton, it can be substituted.

In other words, if a pound of black powder is ignited with a match, the explosion will occur but most of the destructive force will take the path of the least resistance - into the atmosphere. Now, if the same pound of black powder was placed within a steel pipe, and sealed at both ends, except for a tiny hole for the fuse, the explosion could be regulated with ease. This tamping operation is necessary for any forms of demolitions in order that the operation be successful. A stick of dynamite placed on a concrete roadway untamped, when exploded will create a very small crater, perhaps a few inches. If this same stick of dynamite were tamped, by placing several sandbags on top of if and around it, the explosion would create a much greater crater. This tamping operation is absolutely necessary for the demolition of a large structure or building. [1> When attempting to sever a steel rod or pole, through the use of explosives, place a charge on each side, leaving a small gap between the butts of the explosives. [2> When cutting a chain, place the explosive charge on one side and tape it securely into place. [3> When cutting any odd-shaped object, the best explosive to use is plastique because of its flexibility. It is especially usefull and effective when cutting heavy metal cables. The compound should be placed around the side of the cable that is to be cut, about a half-inch thick. When sabotaging railroad tracks with explosive, use plastique if available, since this is the easiest substance to use when trying to sever objects or irregular shapes. The most common way of cutting train tracks is by placing a charge of high explosives on either side of the "I" beam track, so as to have the forces of the two explosions act upon each other, thus causing the middle object maximum destruction. Another method which has proven equally effective is placing a charge between the rail and the switch. The switch is one of the weakest points along the line, and a relatively small charge will not only sever the switch and rail, but will also rip up the ties and the railroad bed. Tamping with sandbags can and should be used if at all possible, since the extent of the damage is multiplied several times by the addition of the sandbags. Tamping can be useless if you are on a silent lightning-fast mission. In this case, a two-pound charge of TNT carefully placed between the switch and rail will almost certainly do the trick without tamping. The best procedure when engaged in this type of sabotage is to repeat the acts every three-quarters of a mile or so, so as to delay the repairmen and create confusion. [ ] *Placement Of Charges* In demolition work, the greatest problem is the actual placement of the charges. When an individual is working on a large structure such as a building or a bridge, it is imperative that he have an understanding of the directional force of explosives, and the structure's weaknesses. These large-type structures are built to bear up under abnormal stress, so the chances are good, unless the charges are placed correctly, that the sabotage will have little or no effect. When attempting the demolition of a building, the first thing to do is to determine the weakest point in the structure. This is the point where a charge can be placed and well-tamped, and will result in maximum destruction. A large building will usually take more than just one charge. The best bet is to place large explosive charges on either side of a weak point in the foundations. These charges should be tamped from the outside, so as to drive the force inward. There are several basic methods of planting explosives. The advantage to most of the ones listed below is that they have a natural tamping factor, built-in. [1> Bury the explosive beneath the object of destruction. [2> Drill a bore hole into the object and fill with explosives. [3> Form a brace to hold the explosives tight against the object of destruction. A good brace can be made from wood placed on a diagnol, with one end jammed into the ground. [4> Place a charge out in the open, with the tamping material surrounding it, and directing its force. [ ] * Basic Formulas For Demolitions Use and Lacing * [1> Computation for minimum safety distance. For charges less then 27 pounds, the minimum safety distance is 900 feet. Over 27 pounds, the minimum safety distance can be figured by using the following formula: ____________________________ 300 x 3/ Pounds of explosive (T.N.T.) (Read: 300 times the cubic root of pounds of explosive) [2> Steel cutting When cutting, with explosives, part of a steel structure, determine the area in square inches of the member to be cut. This area is then labeled "A" and can use the following formula: P = 3/8 A P = The number of pounds of T.N.T. necessary. (Read: P equals 3 eighths times A) [3> Steel cutting When a steel member is not part of a greater structure, a different formula is used. This is based on the diameter of the individual member. 2 P=D (Read: P equals D squared) P = The amount of T.N.T. required, and D is the diameter of the piece of steel. [4> Train rails To cut rails that weigh less then 80 pounds, use one-half pound of explosives. To cut rails that weigh over 80 pounds, use a full pound of explosives. [5> Timber cutting When the charge is to be external and untamped, the formula is as follows: 3 P = C --- 30 (Read: P equals C cubed divided by 30) P = The pounds of explosives required, and C equals the circumference of the tree in feet (this formula is given for plastique). When figuring an internal tamped charge, the formula is: 2 P = D --- 250 (Read: P equals D squared divided by 250) P = The pounds of explosives, and D equals the diameter of the tree in inches. [Some Important Principles] A basic rule to follow in all calculations having to do with explosive compounds is to round off the amount to the next highest unit package. At times you may use a little more than necessary, but you will be assured of success. Another rule when calculating charges is to add one-third more explosives if you do not intend to tamp. If a formula is given for plastique (composition 4), as was done for both timber-cutting formulas, you are able to compute poundage in TNT by adding one-third to the weight of the plastique. When using the principle of cratering to destroy a paved surface with explosives, use several charges rather than just one. The use of a bore hole is especially effective here. It is pointless to attempt cratering a roadway without tamping, since most of the destructive force of your charge will go straight up in the air. Bombs and booby traps incorporate more than just technical knowledge, they are based on human nature. To create an effective booby trap, one must have a primitive insight into his enemy's actions, thoughts, and methods. Before I get into the nitty-gritty of constructing booby traps, bombs, land mines, grenades, etc., it is important explain the basic working principles and mechanisms behind these devices. In the acquisition of equipment I would recommend purchasing or stealing, rather than making your own. Manufactured equipment is much safer to work with, and usually more effective. Once you have your explosive compounds, you will need a way to set it off, or detonate it. With all high explosives, you will need a detonator or blasting cap, unless you decide to lace the fuse into the explosive, although this is not recommended. A blasting cap is a low- explosive compound that is connected to a high explosive, for the purpose of detonating it. There are two types of blasting caps - electric and nonelectric. To use a nonelectrical blasting cap, one gently pushes the fuse into the hollow end, until it is fully in. He then crimps the hollow metal end around the fuse, and puts it into the high explosive. When the fuse burns down it ignites the flash charge. That in turn explodes the priming charge, which detonates the base charge, and finally creates enough heat to set off the high-explosive charge. The fuse is ordinary safety fuse or detonating cord. When the fuse is put into the blasting cap, it is necessary to seal it. This act of sealing is called crimping. When involved with this sort of thing, one must use the standard safety precautions set down in the previous section. Crimpers look like a pair of pliers, and their function is very similar, although pliers cannot be used for crimping. With the crimper in your right hand and the blasting cap in your left, slowly squeeze the hollow end of the blasting cap until it is firmly against the fuse. Use care so that you do not squeeze the charge within the cap, as this may detonate it. Whereas nonelectrical blasting caps are functional and have proven that they can be relied on, electrical blasting caps offer a much greater variety of uses. The basic principle of the electrical blasting caps is that an electrical charge moves through an insulated wire until it reaches a small section of that same wire which is not insulated and which is surrounded by a primary flash charge. The heat from the electrical charge will explode the flash charge, which in turn will set off a series of minor explosions, finishing up with the high explosive. Both types of blasting caps should be placed within the high explosive itself. This is easy when working with plastique or a pliable surface. Manufactured TNT has a small hole designed at the top for just this reason, but in dynamite one has to make his own hole. This hole should be made with a wooden or nonsparking metal object. The ends of the crimpers are ideal. The hole can be made in one of two ways: the first is bored carefully and gently straight down from the top of the stick, to exactly the length of the cap itself; the second type of hole is made from the side in a downward diagnol direction. Both of these methods have proven effective. Another method priming dynamite, which is not as reliable as either nonelectrical or electrical blasting caps, is called "lacing". The principle behind most detonating devices is simply to create a temperature which is hot enough to ignite the high explosive. This increase in temperature can be accomplished with a relatively good degree of success by weaving the fuse throughout the high explosive so that, as the fuse burns down, the heat created from the burning process it captures and held within the high explosive until the detonation temperature is reached. There are different methods of lacing, depending on what type of high explosive you happen to working with. For dynamite, the most common and most functional method is to literally sew the detonation cord into the stick. This preparation entails the individual's making several holes directly through the dynamite itself. This hole-making should be performed just as the planting of the blasting cap was handled. The holes must be dug gently and slowly with a nonmetallic instrument. "Lacing" should be done only when there is no alternative, and blasting caps are not available. When using TNT, you can lace it by wrapping the detonating cord around the body of the explosive at least five or six times, and then tying it off with a clove hitch. This will result in a great amount of heat being transferred into the TNT from the fuse, and its detonation. Plastique can also be ignited in this fashion, by employing a heavy- duty detonation cord, and tying a double knot in one of its ends. This large knot is then buried deep in the center of the composition. It must be at least one inch from any side. [ ] * How to Hotwire a Car * The easiest way is to just get under the dashboard and start crossing wires. Of course this could short out the entire electrical system so there is a better way. When you get in the car, look under the dash. If it's enclosed then don't bother. Most new cars are like this unfortunately. However you could cut through the dash. If you do cut just do it near the ignition. Once you get behind or near the ignition, look for two red wires. In older cars this was the standard color code. If they aren't there you'll just have to try whatever else you can find. Pull out the two wires and cross them. The car should start. [ ] * Fax Machine Fun * In the late 80's we have seen a massive explosion in the popularity of fax machines. Everyone has one. They are cheap, easy to use, and very useful. Up until now, however, they have been almost exclusivly in the province of the buisness world. Just for those of you who have been in comas for the last few years, I'll explain fax machines to you. Fax machines are combination scanners/modems/printers. You can transmit the contents of a piece of paper to another fax over the phone lines. Usually, your fax also prints the number you called from on the first sheet of the transmittal. It is easy to see why buisnesses like these. No longer content with Federal Express, now letters can go cross country in minutes. Faxes have about 200-250 dpi resolution, and print out on rolls of thermal paper. For some odd reason, most of them are 4800 baud. "So what" you ask? Most people don't seem to realize the potential available here. When I worked at The FHLB, we used to get faxes all the time, with requests for checks. Occaisionaly, we also got short notes from the idiots at the other banks. This is what gave me the idea for what I call, for lack of a better term, Fax Piracy. Fax Piracy is the ultimate prank call. Let me give you an example. There was this Library I hated, and, like everyone else, they have a fax. So what me and a few of my freinds did was send them requests, "from" another Library for books. I found out later, from a kid who worked there that they wasted about $50, sending them all the books. Not much, but if you know how cheap librarians are, you can imagine the shit fits they had. Next, we send them a "Mobius Fax" we got some sheets of black construction paper, taped about 10 of them together, and started feeding them through the fax. Once the start of the long sheet we had created came through, we taped it to the end. This went on continuosly for about 15 minutes until their (very expensive) thermal paper ran out. Since we had sent them nothing but black paper, it completely covered and ruined all of their paper. This used up their 3month paper allocation at once, and they had to borrow from petty cash to buy more. Finally we sent them a little note, telling them what idiots they were, and signing it "the fax pirates" HOW TO DO IT- First, and this is VERY IMPORTANT- Always remember to REPROGRAM the fax so it displays someone elses name and number. If you forget to do this, its like sending a letter bomb with a return adress. Second, decide what to send. This is entirely up to you (duh) , and depends on whether you want to annoy them, or really destroy them.* Wierd requests from other companies you hate, long rambling stories, or strange art is always good. Be a little creative Third, send it. (wow, some people need to be told everything, don't they) What? You don't know their fax #? Its not in information? Its not in the phone book? Well, keep reading! HOW TO GET FAX PHONE NUMBERS- This is just way easier than it should be. Call and ask. I'm serious, we've done this probably over 30 times, and NO ONE HAS EVER QUESTIONED OUR REQUEST! I'll give you a sample of a call that actually happened. (this is verbatum)(we taped it) IBM LADY Hello, IBM, may I help you? ME Hi, this is Biff Fulgate from over here at Linear Data Systems Can I get your fax number, those boys in research need to send something over and they lost the number again. IBM LADY Please hold on a moment ME Sure thing. Hah, those cooks over in research would probably lose their heads if they wern't screwed on. IBM LADY Haha. Now is that the Tower 700 number? ME Um...let me check here... Yeah, that's it. (Tower 700? what?) IBM LADY Ok, hold on (Long wait during which I get slightly nervous) IBM LADY Ok That number is 313-xxx-xxxx ME Thanks, Bye Also, most ads have fax numbers. Don't fuck with little companies though. A) they don't need it, B) they are probably more suspicious, C) it hurts them more than it would hurt a big company. be a caring capitolist. If you need any suggestions as to who's number to get try the following- newspapers, radios stations, big companies, libraries, city & state governments, the right to life movement, etc. HINTS- Act like you know whats going on at all times. Be polite, and a little bit familiar Make sure you have a plausable reason for getting the number Don't laugh Let the person who sounds most 'adult-like' make the call Make sure you have a plausable name Remember, the larger the company, the less the people know and care about other parts of the company, so the greater chance you have of not getting hassled. ALSO! Don't forget to change the "number" you are calling from. If you want to send a Mobius Fax, usually Faxes have paper feed trays (we didn't know that when we did it) ALSO- NEVER, EVER, DO THIS TO AT&T! HOW TO GET A FAX TO USE- Well, if you don't have one, try mommy's or daddy's office. Most Campus offices have faxes you can pretend that you are supposed to be using (tell them the Library sent you). Many print-shops (like Kinko's) have fax machines that you can use for a nominal fee. And, just like terminals in the early 80's, most fax machines are just sitting out in offices, if you dress nicely, and look like you know what you're doing, no one is going to ask questions. *-- for really good info on how to really fuck up a company with mail, or faxes, I reccomend Keith Wade's POISON PEN LETTERS & YOUR REVENGE IS IN THE MAIL both available from the Loompanics Book Catalog (see my file on that for the adress) [*Smoke Bombs*] One type of pyrotechnic device that might be employed by a terrorist in many way would be a smoke bomb. Such a device could conceal the getaway route, or cause a diversion, or simply provide cover. Such a device, were it to produce enough smoke that smelled bad enough, could force the evacuation of a building, for example. Smoke bombs are not difficult to make. Although the military smoke bombs employ powdered white phosphorus or titanium compounds, such materials are usually unavailable to even the most well-equipped terrorist. Instead, he/she would have to make the smoke bomb for themselves. Most homemade smoke bombs usually employ some type of base powder, such as black powder or pyrodex, to support combustion. The base material will burn well, and provide heat to cause the other materials in the device to burn, but not completely or cleanly. Table sugar, mixed with sulfur and a base material, produces large amounts of smoke. Sawdust, especially if it has a small amount of oil in it, and a base powder works well also. Other excellent smoke ingredients are small pieces of rubber, finely ground plastics, and many chemical mixtures. The material in road flares can be mixed with sugar and sulfur and a base powder produces much smoke. Most of the fuel-oxodizer mixtures, if the ratio is not correct, produce much smoke when added to a base powder. The list of possibilities goes on and on. The trick to a successful smoke bomb also lies in the container used. A plastic cylinder works well, and contributes to the smoke produced. The hole in the smoke bomb where the fuse enters must be large enough to allow the material to burn without causing an explosion. This is another plus for plastic containers, since they will melt and burn when the smoke material ignites, producing an opening large enough to prevent an explosion. 1) Mix 3 parts Sugar : 6 Parts Epson salt 2) put in a tin can, and onto a low flame (like a lighter) 3) let gel harden 4) put match in as a fuse. 5) light and run like hell cause 4 pounds will fill a city block... The following reaction should produce a fair amount of smoke. Since this reaction is not all that dangerous you can use larger amounts if necessary for larger amounts of smoke. 6G Zinc powder 1G Sulfur powder Insert a red hot wire into the pile, step back. A lot of smoke should be created Simple smoke and stink bomb- You can purchase Sulphur at a drugstore under the name FloWers of Sulphur. Now when Sulphur burns it will give off a very strong odor and plenty of smoke. Now all you need is a fuse from a firecracker, a tin can, and the Sulphur. Fill the can with Sulphur(pack very lightly), Put Aluninum foil over the top of the can, poke a small hole into the foil, insert the wick, and light it and get out of the room if you value your lungs. You can find many uses for this( or atleast i hope so.

[2> Wash the cotton in hot water and allow it to dry. [3> Mix slowly and carefully at 25 degrees Centigrade, 250 cc. of concentrated sulfuric acid, 150 cc. of concentrated nitric acid, and 20 cc. of water. They must be kept at 25 degrees C. [4> Next place the dried cotton in the acid solution, and stir well with either a glass or porcelain rod (do not use metal). This should be done for 35 minutes. [5> After nitration, the acids are washed away, and the cotton is washed in boiling water five times, each time for 25 minutes. The cotton is given several tests with litmus paper. If the litmus test proves that there is still some acid present, a 2% solution of sodium bicarbonate should neutralize whatever is left. This is important, since any remaining acid acts as an impurity to make the explosive more unstable.

[4] one pound of this stuff will engolph a hole chicago block as long as there is no wind [ ] *Time Delay Devices* There are three different types of time-delay devices: 1) Metal strip under tension till it breaks. 2) Chemical action that will, after a period of time, produce enough heat to detonate the explosive charge. 3) An alarm clock set for a certain time, so that when it rings it will complete and electrical circuit, thus detonating an electrical blasting cap. The first method, metal under tension until breakage, I will not discuss, since it is extremely hazardous and unreliable. You can have little or no control over timing, and such devices are notorious for backfiring. The chemical-action time-delay methods have proven to be pretty reliable. Most of this action incorporates the amount time taken by certain solution of acid to eat its way through another substance. The time length can be determined by the concentration of the acid and by the substance to be eaten through. Nipple Time Bomb ---------------- An example of this type of chemical action is the Nipple Time Bomb, which is very effective. One must obtain a short section of steel pipe and cap each end accordingly. Place inside the steel pipe a stick of dynamite, and drill a quarter-inch hole at on end of the cap. Now, into this hole you must place a small amount of potassium chlorate and gunpowder. Now, seperatly from the pipe, take a small glass vial and fill it with a concentrated sulfuric acid solution, then stop up the end with a paper or cork stopper. To arm the bomb, place the vial of acid upside down in the hole at the top of the pipe. Now, when the acid has eaten its way through the stopper, it will come in contact with the potassium chlorate and gunpowder. The mixture of these chemicals will cause a minor explosion, but it will be large enough to produce the heat necessary to detonate the dynamite. The detonation time is usually between three and six hours. If a solution of sulfuric acid and glycerin is used, rather than just a pure sulfuric acid, the time delay will be up to five or six days.

This is very similiar to the Nipple Time Bomb, in that it relies on the same chemical action, but without the dynamite. The procedure is very simple. A cardboard box or iron tube is filled with a mixture of three-quarters potassium chlorate and one-quarter sugar, and then sealed. At one end a hole is made. Into that hole is placed an inverted vial of sulfuric acid, with a paper or cork stopper, it will come into contact with the potassium chlorate-sugar mixture. This will result in a very hot, powerful fire.

The procedure is very simple. Take a tin can and fill three-quarters of it with highly coompressed gunpowder. Now attach to the top of the can a small magnifying glass, so that the sun's light, when magnifyed through the glass, will cause the heat necessary to detonate the charge. This works very well, as long as it doesn't rain.

It is connected in the same fashion as the other eletrical-circuit booby traps. Wires are connected to the hammer of the bell and to the bell itself, via the blasting cap, to a dry cell. The clock should be set to go off before the booby trap is built. When the alarm goes off, the hammer and bell connect completing the electrical circuit and detonating the explosive.

There are many different things to do in a supermarket that will provide entertainment as well as pissing off people in general. First, though, you should get some friends to increase the entertainment value of the whole excursi- on, as well as to provide even more destruction. I've found that you can get away with a lot of things (playing chase throughout the aisles, playing soccer or football with various perishables, etc.) and no one will say anything. If anyone does say anything, do the kindly anarchist thing and tell them to fuck off. Ok. One very fun thing to do is fuck with the shopping carts themselves. You can fill up many carts and then strew them all around the store, for example. I'm sure that almost every employee just loves to spend their time ridding the store of the bogus carts you created. Or maybe you would rather gather ten or so carts and then make barriers in aisles when no one is looking. Wouldn't you like to hear "Um...Frank..someone seems to have made a collection of carts in aisle four, so could you clean it up please, thank you..." announced over the loudspeaker system of your nearest Giant or Safeway? Or you can have your very own shopping cart drag races in the frozen food section. Perhaps you're one of the more destructive types. If you are, then "bumper carts" is just for you. Just smash the carts into one another and relive those magic childhood moments at the carnival. One VERY funny stunt that produces great results is fucking with other people's carts. Just go around throwing things into carts when the owner is not looking. "Wait a minute..where the hell did this damn watermellon come from?! I hate watermellons." Doing that can greatly confuse a person, so go ahead, make someone think they're goin' crazy! Another fun thing to do at a grocery store is, of course, playing with the food. See how many times you and a friend can throw toilet paper over aisle eight without hitting anyone. You can always go for 'distance' by throwing fruits or vegetables over as many aisles as possible. Or perhaps you would rather test your bowling skills. Just stack up anything handy (paper towles, cans, plastic soda bottles, etc.) and roll any sphere like object at it (melons, or perhaps a can of Kool Aid?) You could always play a quick game of basketball. Just set up an empty cart and find something that bounces or doesn't), then go for those three point shots. In fact, almost every major sport (except water pollo, but that's not a major sport, now is it?) can be played with ease at your closest supermakert or grocery store. Pissing off the employees is also entertaining. I'm sure you can think of many ways to do this, but try the following. Trying to buy alcohol if you're under age (insist that you aren't!), shouting obscenities, eating 'bulk' food right out of the container, dropping (accidently of course!) a few glass bottles, going down to where the employees eat and just sit at the table, and also try to buy nine packs of gum in the '8 items or less' lane. You could also try loitering, just sit at the magazine rack and catch up on your reading. Another fun thing to do is to keep bugging an employee hard at work. I'm sure an employee would appreciate it if you dragged him from his task just so you could buy one red hot from the bulk food section. Yet another entertaining thing to do is cause the store to lose customers. The easiest way to do this is to just buy something so you and a friend can get in line. Then look at what the person ahead of you is getting and tell your friend that "whatever the next person has" was laced with poison or something to that effect. Oh, here's yet another entertaining thing to do. Go outside the store and look for carts that are full and just sitting there with no on by them (the owner has gone to get his/her car). When you have found such a cart, take some bags or better yet, take the whole cart. Now you have a weeks worth of free groceries. So get some friends together and have a party (what else would you do with six bags of food?) If the owner suddenly appears while you are "buying" your groceries, just push the cart as hard as you can at him/her and take off. If you are lucky enough two find two of these carts, then you can have some real fun. Just start taking things out of one cart and chuck it in the other, better yet, just exchange bags! Then sit back and watch the confussion. Although the people probably won't notice the difference until they get home and unpack. Don't you wish you could see their reaction?! Oh, you could also just take someones cart and move it down a bit...that way you could see their reaction and that would of course increase your enjoyment. A vast amount of fun can be had in the frozen food section. Just take some frozen products or ice cream and put them in one of those desrted isles so they can thaw out. After that, cruise over to where ever the food coloring is kept and snag some. Then go back to frozen foods and find some nice ice cream. Now just open up ice cream containers and put about thirty drops of red (or whatever color) food coloring in 'em. Wouldn't YOU be surprised if you opened up a half gallon of vanilla ice cream at home and found red swirls and patches in it?? Do you want to get people in trouble? Then you can have lots of fun screwing with the prices of things. You can take some steaks and throw 'em into the "reduced food section". Most people are stupid and would jump at the chance to get a turkey for a few bucks. Or, you could just take a large marker into the store with you and write "5 cents" on everything you see. Write it on donut boxes, cereal boxes, soda bottles, or anything you see. My last topic is everyone's favorite, taking what is not rightfully yours (shoplifting, dumbass) It's surprisingly simple to lift things from grocery stores. I'm not going to give you a shoplifting tutorial here though, if you need to read a phile to learn how to lift, you're an idiot. Also, you can eat things right in the store if you want. Just take your snack to a deserted aisle and then satisfy your stomach. Of course, the only thing you could steal from Giant is food (or those cheap plastic toys often found in grocery stores, but why would you want those?), and since a box of cereal is a bit to obvious under one's shirt, I suggest candy. But go ahead and take what you want... Well, I was wrong, I have one more thing I want to tell you about (gee I'm tricky...) Ok, have you ever seen those swinging double-doors in the back near the meat?? These doors can lead you to loads of fun. Back there they store all their excess until they have room for it. So you can go back there and fuck around like crazy (if anyone asks you what the hell you're doing back there, just say you're going to the bathroom, the bathrooms are ALWAYS back there somewhere), doing whatever the hell you want. Try rearranging anything you may find back there. Go ahead, screw up their inventory! [ ] The Mammoth Fire Pillar The concept behind this one is simple. In fifth grade we had a little project where we filled a can with flour and put a small candle in it and blew the flour with one those curve straw type things. How it works is the flour is all blown into the air around the candle and the little "bits" are caught on fire and light more and more until you get a column on fire. The concept here is the same only on a much larger scale. What you need: - A big can, like something your mom might buy a year's supply of peas in or something. Around 1 gallon or above if possible (be sure this is NOT plastic! - Some type of candle. I like to use a bunch of those magic relight candles tied together so that if it goes out it'll start back up. - A bag of flour - Some plastic tubing about 1/4 inch and 2-3 feet long. You may want to get a few elbow joints(E) for this, but at least one is needed. This is the basic configuration- | | | | | I | | I | --------------------------\ I | <-BIG CAN ------------------------\ | I | | | | I | | I | |:::::::::::::I:::::::::::::| FLOUR -> |:::::::::::::I:::::::::::::| |:::::::::::::I:::::::::::::| +---------------------------+ /^\ | THE CANDLE Now all you have to do is light the candle and blow on the tubing VERY hard. What you might want to do is get a big baloon to use, or what I did is I took an old bike and took the valve off of the tire and hooked it to the end. Now I use either a foot pump, which can get tiring since you have to go very fast, or I acquire some of those CO2 cartriges used to inflate tires like when you're on a big biking trip. I also recommend that you get tubing that will not melt in the fire, you might even want to try some type of metal, although for me some good hard plastic works. [ ] LEAD AZIDE Lead Azide is a material that is often used as a booster charge for other explosive, but it does well enough on its own as a fairly sensitive explosive. It does not detonate too easily by percussion or impact, but it is easily detonated by heat from an igniter wire, or a blasting cap. It is simple to produce, assuming that the necessary chemicals can be procured. By dissolving sodium azide and lead acetate in water in separate beakers, the two materials are put into an aqueous state. Mix the two beakers together, and apply a gentle heat. Add an excess of the lead acetate solution, until no reaction occurs, and the precipitate on the bottom of the beaker stops forming. Filter off the solution, and wash the precipitate in hot water. The precipitate is lead azide, and it must be stored wet for safety. If lead acetate cannot be found, simply acquire acetic acid, and put lead metal in it. Black powder bullets work well for this purpose. [ ] * THERMIT * This stuff can burn *anything*. [except Tungsten].. It's great for burning open a a pay phone Thermit is a fuel-oxodizer mixture that is used to generate tremendous amounts of heat. It was not presented in section 3.23 because it does not react nearly as readily. It is a mixture of iron oxide and aluminum, both finely powdered. When it is ignited, the aluminum burns, and extracts the oxygen from the iron oxide. This is really two very exothermic reactions that produce a combined temperature of about 2200 degrees C. This is half the heat produced by an atomic weapon. It is difficult to ignite, however, but when it is ignited, it is one of the most effective firestarters around. MATERIALS powdered aluminum (10 g) powdered iron oxide (10 g) 1) There is no special procedure or equipment required to make thermit. Simply mix the two powders together, and try to make the mixture as homogenous as possible. The ratio of iron oxide to aluminum is 50% / 50% by weight, and be made in greater or lesser amounts. 2) Ignition of thermite can be accomplished by adding a small amount of potassium chlorate to the thermit, and pouring a few drops of sulfuric acid on it. This method and others will be discussed later in section 4.33. The other method of igniting thermit is with a magnesium strip. Finally, by using common sparkler-type fireworks placed in the thermit, the mixture can be ignited. [ ] *How to make Thermite* 1) First you need rust. The best way to make alot of it is.... a) get an electric train transformer b) attach a common nail to the PLUS (+) end of the transformer c) get a glass jar d) fill it with water e) put salt [regular table salt is fine] into the water f) put the other end (-) into water with the nail [leave the transformer out, of course] g) turn on the transformer h) let the contraption run overnight i) seperate out all the red shit [that's the rust] with a filter or a spoon. j) let the stuff dry [like on a paper towel] k) that's it! you have rust! 2) Get some aluminum filings from the hardware store [or shave your own from a bar with less that 94% pure aluminum, called duralumin] 3) Now, just mix: 8 grams rust -------------------------- 3 grams aluminum filings 4) That's Thermite!! Now, to ignite it... 5) You now need some Magnesium ribbon. To get it, you can: a) steal it from the chemistry lab at school b) buy it at the hardware store c) buy it from a chemical supply house. 6) Alright, shove the Magesium ribbon into the Thermite at a fuse. 7) Then light it with a blowtorch. [It won't get hot enough to ignite the Thermite, though] 8) last step: get the hell back. [it can vaporize CARBON STEEL!] [ ] * Thermite * PART 1: Thermite Materials needed: Aluminum Powder (no coarser than ground coffee) Iron Oxide Flakes (Iron II Oxide, similar to coarse ground coffee) Jar or can with tight fitting lid. Spoon or cup for measuring Preparation: 1) Ok, put 3 parts by volume of iron oxide to 2 parts by volume of aluminum powder into the jar. Leave at least 1/3 of the jar EMPTY. 2) Tighten lid on jar and turn slowly on its side till the 2 powders are completely mixed. Thats it! You've made thermite! But that was the EASY part... the igniters are alot more complex.... PART 2: Igniters Materials needed: Finely powdered aluminum (no coarser than cake flour) Finely powdered Sulfur (no coarser than cake flour) Finely powdered Starch (yet again, not coaser than cake flour) Water Cylindrical tube about 6" in length and 3/4" inside diameter (plastic tubing you can get at any lumberyard is ideal) 3/4" rod (or slightly smaller) rod that fits inside of plasic tube 3/8" dowel rod Mixing bowl Tablespoon Teaspoon Stove or hotplate Knife Measuring container Granulated sugar (do NOT use powdered or confectionary sugar) Potassium chlorate or Sodium chlorate (no coarser than granulated sugar) Plastic Spoon Moisture proof container with tight fitting lid Rolling pin Fuse or solar igniters (solar igniters are used for ignition of model rockets and are available at most hobby shops) Preparation: 1) Place 6 tablespoons of aluminum powder in a mixing bowl then add 15 tablespoons of powdered sulfur. 2) Mix two powders together gently with spoon till no unmixed particals of sulfur are visible. 3) In a seperate pot add 2 teaspoons of laundry starch to about 6 ounces of water and boil gently for a few minutes. Stir till the starch is dissolved and allow the solution to cool to room temperature. 4) When cool, take about half the starch solution and add it to the mixture of aluminum powder and sulfur. 5) Mix with a spoon until the whole mass is a smooth, evenly mixed putty-like paste. 6) Fill the cylindrical tube with this paste, place one end of the tube on a hard surface and tamp the paste with the 3/8" rod to sqeeze out the air bubbles. 7) Push the paste out of the tube with the large rod, which just fits inside the tube, so that it forms a cylinder, then cut the damp cylinder into 1 1/2" lengths using the knife. 8) Dry these pieces at 90 degrees F. for at least 24 hours. 9) Form a hole at least 1/2" in diameter approxamately halfway into one end of and igniter pellet. 10) Fill hole to roughly 1/2 its depth with sub-igniter mix (We'll be getting to making that in a sec) 11) Insert a length of fuse (or solar igniter) into the hole so it makes contact with the sub-igniter mix. Fill the rest of the hole with sub-igniter mix and tamp down to hold fuse (or solar igniter) firmly. 12) Tape fuse (or solar igniter) firmly in place to prevent it from working loose and to prevent sub-igniter mix from spilling out of hole. 13) Tape 2 or more pellets without holes to the one with the fuse 14) Store all the pellets in a dry, closed container till useage. Sub-igniter mix preparation: 1) Using a clean, dry, plastic spoon, place granulated sugar in the container to one quarter container volume. Wipe spoon with a dry, clean cloth. 2) If the potassium chlorate or sodium chlorate is lumpy, remove all lumps by crushing with rolling pin. Using the spoon, add a quantity of chlorate equal to the amount of suagr to the container WARNING: IF THIS MIXTURE IS CARELESSLY HANDLED WITH EXCESSIVE BUMPING AND SCRAPING IT COULD IGNITE AND FRY YOUR ASS. MAKE SURE THERE ISN'T ANY ADHERING TO THE EDGE OR LIP OF THE CONTAINER BEFORE TIGHTENING THE LID!!! 3) Tighten the lid of the jar, turn jar on its side, and slowly roll till the two powders are completely mixed. The mixture is ready to use and may be stored for months in a tightly sealed container. Ok, the igniters are done (Whew! Don't worry, its all downhill from here) If you did it right, it should look something like this: -Cut-away View- ##%%""%%## ##%%""%%## # = Pellet ##%%""%%## % = Sub-igniter mix ##%%""%%## " = Fuse ##%%""%%## ##%%""%%## ##%%""%%## ##%%%%%%## ##%%%%%%## ##%%%%%%## ##%%%%%%## ###%%%%### ####%%#### ########## ########## ########## ########## ########## PART 3: Bomb Construction There's 3 types of basic devices thermite is good for: Metal welding device, Hole burning device, and Exploding incediary device. 1: Welding device Materials needed: Cardboard clyinder with metal ends (empty comet detergent box is perfect) Thermite & Igniters 1) Cut cylinder in half 2) Arrange thermite and igniters like this: - Cut away view - "" !######%%""%%#####! ! = Cardboard cylinder !######%%""%%#####! # = Thermite !######%%%%%%#####! % = Igniter cluster !######%%%%%%#####!

Conducted heat and molten slag from the device will cause a weld. This is good for sabotaging gears, motors, electric transformers and many other uses (use your wicked imagination) Hole Burning Device 1) Cut cardboard cylinder into 2 equal parts 2) Cut one piece to a height of 2" and cut 2 air vent notches on the open end. 3) Fill other section approx. 2/3 with thermite 4) Bury an igniter cluster just under the surface of the thermite 5) Place empty piece OPEN END DOWN on the area you wish to penetrate 6) Place filled section metal end down on top of open vented piece so that metal ends of the cylinder are touching Should look like this: - Cut away view - "" !######%%""%%#####! ! = Cardboard cylinder !######%%""%%#####! # = Thermite !######%%%%%%#####! % = Igniter cluster !######%%%%%%#####!

Its great for destroying cars (put over engine block or gas tank hehez), and lots of other stuff... Exploding incediary device Extra materials needed: Gun Powder Small glass bottle (aspirin bottle works good) 1) TIGHTLY PACK gunpowder into glass bottle. 2) Put hole large enough for fuse in lid of glass bottle. 3) Put a VERY short fuse (about 1/2") into hole 4) Build Thermite welding device as per instructions except place glass powder bottle on bottom of cardboard cylinder before filling with thermite. This device should cause a small explosion and spray molten thermite in a 5-10 foot radius (good for starting fires around flammable items). The molten thermite burns enough to light the fuse setting off the gunpowder charge in the bottle. [ ] * CHEMICAL FIRE BOTTLE * The chemical fire bottle is really an advanced molotov cocktail. Rather than using the burning cloth to ignite the flammable liquid, which has at best a fair chance of igniting the liquid, the chemical fire bottle utilizes the very hot and violent reaction between sulfuric acid and potassium chlorate. When the container breaks, the sulfuric acid in the mixture of gasoline sprays onto the paper soaked in potassium chlorate and sugar. The paper, when struck by the acid, instantly bursts into a white flame, igniting the gasoline. The chance of failure to ignite the gasoline is less than 2%, and can be reduced to 0%, if there is enough potassium chlorate and sugar to spare. MATERIALS EQUIPMENT 2 teaspoons potassium chlorate 12 oz. glass bottle sugar (2 teaspoons) cap for bottle,with plastic inside concentrated sulfuric acid(4 oz.) cooking pan with raised edges gasoline (8 oz.) paper towels glass or plastic cup and spoon 1) Test the cap of the bottle with a few drops of sulfuric acid to make sure that the acid will not eat away the bottle cap during storage. If the acid eats through it in 24 hours, a new top must be found and tested, until a cap that the acid does not eat through is found. A glass top is excellent. 2) Carefully pour 8 oz. of gasoline into the glass bottle. 3) Carefully pour 4 oz. of concentrated sulfuric acid into the glass bottle. Wipe up any spills of acid on the sides of the bottle, and screw the cap on the bottle. Wash the bottle's outside with plenty of water. Set it aside to dry. 4) Put about two teaspoons of potassium chlorate and about two teaspoons of sugar into the glass or plastic cup. Add about 1/2 cup of boiling water, or enough to dissolve all of the potassium chlorate and sugar. 5) Place a sheet of paper towel in the cooking pan with raised edges. Fold the paper towel in half, and pour the solution of dissolved potassium chlorate and sugar on it until it is thoroughly wet. Allow the towel to dry. 6) When it is dry, put some glue on the outside of the glass bottle containing the gasoline and sulfuric acid mixture. Wrap the paper towel around the bottle, making sure that it sticks to it in all places. Store the bottle in a place where it will not be broken or tipped over. 7) When finished, the solution in the bottle should appear as two distinct liquids, a dark brownish-red solution on the bottom, and a clear solution on top. The two solutions will not mix. To use the chemical fire bottle, simply throw it at any hard surface. 8) NEVER OPEN THE BOTTLE, SINCE SOME SULFURIC ACID MIGHT BE ON THE CAP, WHICH COULD TRICKLE DOWN THE SIDE OF THE BOTTLE AND IGNITE THE POTASSIUM CHLORATE, CAUSING A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION. 9) To test the device, tear a small piece of the paper towel off the bottle, and put a few drops of sulfuric acid on it. The paper towel should immediately burst into a white flame. [ ] *PAPER CONTAINERS* Paper was the first container ever used for explosives, since it was first used by the Chinese to make fireworks. Paper containers are usually very simple to make, and are certainly the cheapest. There are many possible uses for paper in containing explosives, and the two most obvious are in firecrackers and rocket engines. Simply by rolling up a long sheet of paper, and gluing it together, one can make a simple rocket engine. Perhaps a more interesting and dangerous use is in the firecracker. The firecracker shown here is one of Mexican design. It is called a "polumna", meaning "dove". The process of their manufacture is not unlike that of making a paper football. If one takes a sheet of paper about 16 inches in length by 1.5 inches wide, and fold one corner so that it looks like this: ________________________________________________________ | |\ | | \ | | \ |______________________________________________________|___\ and then fold it again so that it looks like this: _______________________________________________________ | /| | / | | / | |__________________________________________________/___| A pocket is formed. This pocket can be filled with black powder, pyrodex, flash powder, gunpowder,rocket engine powder, or any of the quick-burning fuel- oxodizer mixtures that occur in the form of a fine powder. A fuse is then inserted, and one continues the triangular folds, being careful not to spill out any of the explosive. When the polumna is finished, it should be taped together very tightly, since this will increase the strength of the container, and produce a louder and more powerful explosion when it is lit. The finished polumna should look like a 1/4 inch - 1/3 inch thick triangle, like the one shown below: ^ / \ ----- securely tape all corners / \ / \ / \ / \ / \____________________________ /_____________\__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/ ---------- fuse [ ] * METAL CONTAINERS* The classic pipe bomb is the best known example of a metal-contained explosive. Idiot anarchists take white tipped matches and cut off the match heads. They pound one end of a pipe closed with a hammer, pour in the white- tipped matches, and then pound the other end closed. This process often kills the fool, since when he pounds the pipe closed, he could very easily cause enough friction between the match heads to cause them to ignite and explode the unfinished bomb. By using pipe caps, the process is somewhat safer, and the less stupid anarchist would never use white tipped matches in a bomb. He would buy two pipe caps and threaded pipe (fig. 1). First, he would drill a hole in one pipe cap, and put a fuse in it so that it will not come out, and so powder will not escape during handling. The fuse would be at least 3/4 an inch long inside the bomb. He would then screw the cap with the fuse in it on tightly, possibly putting a drop of super glue on it to hold it tight. He would then pour his explosive powder in the bomb. To pack it tightly, he would take a large wad of tissue paper and, after filling the pipe to the very top, pack the powder down, by using the paper as a ramrod tip, and pushing it with a pencil or other wide ended object, until it would not move any further. Finally, he would screw the other pipe cap on, and glue it. The tissue paper would help prevent some of the powder from being caught in the threads of the pipe or pipe cap from being crushed and subject to friction, which might ignite the powder, causing an explosion during manufacture. An assembled bomb is shown in fig. 2. _________ _______________ __________ | | ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ | | | |vvvvv| |_________________________| |vvvvvv| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ___________________________ | | | | | | | | | |^^^^^| vvvvvv_______________vvvvvv |^^^^^^| | |_______| |________| fig 1.

This is one possible design that a mad bomber would use. If, however, he did not have access to threaded pipe with endcaps, he could always use a piece of copper or aluminum pipe, since it is easily bent into a suitable position. A major problem with copper piping, however, is bending and folding it without tearing it; if too much force is used when folding and bending copper pipe, it will split along the fold. The safest method for making a pipe bomb out of copper or aluminum pipe is similar to the method with pipe and endcaps. First, one flattens one end of a copper or aluminum pipe carefully, making sure not to tear or rip the piping. Then, the flat end of the pipe should be folded over at least once, if this does not rip the pipe. A fuse hole should be drilled in the pipe near the now closed end, and the fuse should be inserted. Next, the bomb-builder would fill the bomb with a low order explosive, and pack it with a large wad of tissue paper. He would then flatten and fold the other end of the pipe with a pair of pliers. If he was not too dumb, he would do this slowly, since the process of folding and bending metal gives off heat, which could set off the explosive. A diagram is presented below: ________ _______________________________________________/ | | | | o | |______________________________________________ | \_______| fig. 1 pipe with one end flattened and fuse hole drilled (top view) ______ ____________________________________________/ | | | | | | o | | |___________________________________________ | | \__|__| fig. 2 pipe with one end flattened and folded up (top view) ____________ fuse hole | v _________________________________________________ | \ |____ | | \____| | | ______| | / |_____________________________/__________________ fig. 3 pipe with flattened and folded end (side view) _________________ fuse / | ________ ______________________________|___ _______ | ____| / |- - - - - - - - - - -| - - \ |___ | | |_____/tissue| - - - - - - - - - - - -|- - \_____| | |________ paper |- - - low order explosive - _______| \ | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - / \_____________________________________/ fig. 4 completed bomb, showing tissue paper packing and explosive (side view) A CO2 cartridge from a B.B gun is another excellent container for a low-order explosive. It has one minor disadvantage: it is time consuming to fill. But this can be rectified by widening the opening of the cartridge with a pointed tool. Then, all that would have to be done is to fill the CO2 cartridge with any low-order explosive, or any of the fast burning fuel- oxodizer mixtures, and insert a fuse. These devices are commonly called "crater makers". A CO2 cartridge also works well as a container for a thermit incendiary device, but it must be modified. The opening in the end must be widened, so that the ignition mixture, such as powdered magnesium, does not explode. The fuse will ignite the powdered magnesium, which, in turn, would ignite the thermit. The previously mentioned designs for explosive devices are fine for low-order explosives, but are unsuitable for high-order explosives, since the latter requires a shockwave to be detonated. A design employing a smaller low-order explosive device inside a larger device containing a high-order explosive would probably be used. It would look something like: _______________________ fuse | | | _________ | _________ | ____|__________________________|___________|____ | | | * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *|* * * * * * * | | | | * * * * * * high explosive | * * * * * * * | | | | * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *|* * * * * * * | | | | * ______ _______________|_ ______ * | | | | * * | __| / - - - - - - | \ |__ | * | | | | * | |____/ low explosive - \____| | * | | | | * * |_______ - - - - - - - - - _______| * | | | | * * * * * \ - - - - - - - - / * * * * * | | | | * * * * * * \_________________/ * * * * * | | | | * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * | | | | * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * | | | | * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * | | | |______________________________________________| | |_______| |_______| If the large high explosive container is small, such as a CO2 cartridge, then a segment of a hollow radio antenna can be made into a low-order pipe bomb, which can be fitted with a fuse, and inserted into the CO2 cartridge. [ ] *GLASS CONTAINERS* Glass containers can be suitable for low-order explosives, but there are problems with them. First, a glass container can be broken relatively easily compared to metal or plastic containers. Secondly, in the not-too-unlikely event of an "accident", the person making the device would probably be seriously injured, even if the device was small. A bomb made out of a sample perfume bottle-sized container exploded in the hands of one boy, and he still has pieces of glass in his hand. He is also missing the final segment of his ring finger, which was cut off by a sharp piece of flying glass... Nonetheless, glass containers such as perfume bottles can be used by a demented individual, since such a device would not be detected by metal detectors in an airport or other public place. All that need be done is fill the container, and drill a hole in the plastic cap that the fuse fits tightly in, and screw the cap-fuse assembly on. ________________________ fuse | | | _____|_____ | ___|___ | | > | < | drill hole in cap, and insert fuse; | > | < | be sure fuse will not come out of cap | > | < | | | | | | | | | | screw cap on bottle | | | | V V _________ < > < > < > / \ / \ / \ | | fill bottle with low-order explosive | | | | | | | | |___________| Large explosive devices made from glass containers are not practicle, since glass is not an exceptionally strong container. Much of the explosive that is used to fill the container is wasted if the container is much larger than a 16 oz. soda bottle. Also, glass containers are usually unsuitable for high explosive devices, since a glass container would probably not withstand the explosion of the initiator; it would shatter before the high explosive was able to detonate. [ ] * PLASTIC CONTAINERS* Plastic containers are perhaps the best containers for explosives, since they can be any size or shape, and are not fragile like glass. Plastic piping can be bought at hardware or plumbing stores, and a device much like the ones used for metal containers can be made. The high-order version works well with plastic piping. If the entire device is made out of plastic, it is not detectable by metal detectors. Plastic containers can usually be shaped by heating the container, and bending it at the appropriate place. They can be glued closed with epoxy or other cement for plastics. Epoxy alone can be used as an endcap, if a wad of tissue paper is placed in the piping. Epoxy with a drying agent works best in this type of device. || || || || ||\_____________/|| || || || epoxy || ||_______________|| || || || tissue || || paper || ||_______________|| ||***************|| ||***************|| ||***************|| ||***************|| ||** explosive **|| ||***************|| ||***********----------------------- fuse ||***************|| ||DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD|| || || || tissue || || paper || ||_______________|| || || || epoxy || || _____________ || ||/ \|| || || || || One end must be made first, and be allowed to dry completely before the device can be filled with powder and fused. Then, with another piece of tissue paper, pack the powder tightly, and cover it with plenty of epoxy. PVC pipe works well for this type of device, but it cannot be used if the pipe had an inside diameter greater than 3/4 of an inch. Other plastic puttys can be used int this type of device, but epoxy with a drying agent works best. [ ] *SHAPED CHARGES* A shaped charge is an explosive device that, upon detonation, directs the explosive force of detonation at a small target area. This process can be used to breach the strongest armor, since forces of literally millions of pounds of pressure per square inch can be generated. Shaped charges employ high-order explosives, and usually electric ignition systems. KEEP IN MIND THAT ALL EXPLOSIVES ARE DANGEROUS, AND SHOULD NEVER BE MADE OR USED!! An example of a shaped charge is shown below. + wire ________ _______ - wire | | | | | | _ _________|_________|____________ ^ | ________|_________|__________ | | | | | | | | | | | \ igniter / | | | | | \_______/ | | | | | priming charge | | | | | (mercury fulminate) | | | | | ^ | | | | | / \ | | | | | / \ | | | | | / \ | | | | | / \ | | | | | / \ | | | | | / \ | | | | / \ | | 8 inches high | | / \ | | | | / high \ | | | | | / explosive \ | | | | | / charge \ | | | | | / \ | | | | |/ \| | | | | ^ | | | | | / \ | | | | | / \ | | | | | / \ | | | | | / \ | | | | | / \ | | | | | / \ | | | | | / \ | | | | | / \ | | | | | / \ | | ------- 1/2 inch | | | / \ | | thick steel | | | / \ | | pipe | | | / \ | | | | |/ \| | | hole for | | | | hole for | screw | | | | screw | | | | | V_______ ___________| | | |___________ ________ |______| |____________| |_____________| |______| |<------- 8 inches -------->| If a device such as this is screwed to a safe, for example, it would direct most of the explosive force at a point about 1 inch away from the opening of the pipe. The basis for shaped charges is a cone-shaped opening in the explosive material. This cone should have an angle of 45 degrees. A device such as this one could also be attached to a metal surface with a powerful electromagnet. [ ] *TUBE EXPLOSIVES* A variation on shaped charges, tube explosives can be used in ways that shaped charges cannot. If a piece of 1/2 inch plastic tubing was filled with a sensitive high explosive like R.D.X., and prepared as the plastic explosive container in section 4.44, a different sort of shaped charge could be produced; a charge that directs explosive force in a circular manner. This type of explosive could be wrapped around a column, or a doorknob, or a telephone pole. The explosion would be directed in and out, and most likely destroy whatever it was wrapped around. In an unbent state, a tube explosive would look like this: || || || || ||\____/|| || epoxy|| ||______|| || || ||tissue|| || paper|| ||______|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| || RDX || ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| ||******|| || ____ || || | s| || || | q| || || | u| || || | i| || || | b| || || | b| || || |__| || ||__||__|| ||tissue|| || paper|| ||__||__|| || || || || epoxy|| || || || || _||_ || ||/ || \|| || || || || || || ||_______ + wire ______________ | |________ - wire ______________ When an assassin or terrorist wishes to use a tube bomb, he must wrap it around whatever thing he wishes to destroy, and epoxy the ends of the tube bomb together. After it dries, he/she can connect wires to the squib wires, and detonate the bomb, with any method of electric detonation. [ ] *ATOMIZED PARTICLE EXPLOSIONS* If a highly flammable substance is atomized, or, divided into very small particles, and large amounts of it is burned in a confined area, an explosion similar to that occurring in the cylinder of an automobile is produced. The tiny droplets of gasoline burn in the air, and the hot gasses expand rapidly, pushing the cylinder up. Similarly, if a gallon of gasoline was atomized and ignited in a building, it is very possible that the expanding gassed would push the walls of the building down. This phenomenon is called an atomized particle explosion. If a person can effectively atomize a large amount of a highly flammable substance and ignite it, he could bring down a large building, bridge, or other structure. Atomizing a large amount of gasoline, for example, can be extremely difficult, unless one has the aid of a high explosive. If a gallon jug of gasoline was placed directly over a high explosive charge, and the charge was detonated, the gasoline would instantly be atomized and ignited. If this occurred in a building, for example, an atomized particle explosion would surely occur. Only a small amount of high explosive would be necessary to accomplish this feat, about 1/2 a pound of T.N.T. or 1/4 a pound of R.D.X. Also, instead of gasoline, powdered aluminum could be used. It is necessary that a high explosive be used to atomize a flammable material, since a low-order explosion does not occur quickly enough to atomize or ignite the flammable material. [ ] *BOW AND CROSSBOW AMMUNITION* Bows and crossbows both fire arrows or bolts as ammunition. It is extremely simple to poison an arrow or bolt, but it is a more difficult matter to produce explosive arrows or bolts. If, however, one can acquire aluminum piping that is the same diameter of an arrow or crossbow bolt, the entire segment of piping can be converted into an explosive device that detonates upon impact, or with a fuse. All that need be done is find an aluminum tube of the right length and diameter, and plug the back end with tissue paper and epoxy. Fill the tube with any type of low-order explosive or sensitive high- order explosive up to about 1/2 an inch from the top. Cut a slot in the piece of tubing, and carefully squeeze the top of the tube into a round point, making sure to leave a small hole. Place a no. 11 percussion cap over the hole, and secure it with super glue. Finally, wrap the end of the device with electrical or duct tape, and make fins out of tape. Or, fins can be bought at a sporting goods store, and glued to the shaft. The finished product should look like: _____ | | ---------- no. 11 percussion cap ||*|| |*| |*| |*| |*| |*| |*| ----------- aluminum piping |*| |e| |x| |p| |l| |o| |s| |i| |v| |e| |*| |*| |*| |*| |*| |*| |*| /|_|\ / |t| \ | |p| | | |_| | | |e| | -------- fins | |p| | | |y| | |_|_|_| |_| tp: tissue paper epy: epoxy When the arrow or bolt strikes a hard surface, the percussion cap explodes, igniting or detonating the explosive. [ ] *SPECIAL AMMUNITION FOR BLOWGUNS* The blowgun is an interesting weapon which has several advantages. A blowgun can be extremely accurate, concealable, and deliver an explosive or poisoned projectile. The manufacture of an explosive dart or projectile is not difficult. Perhaps the most simple design for such involves the use of a pill capsule, such as the kind that are taken for headaches or allergies. Such a capsule could easily be opened, and the medicine removed. Next, the capsule would be re-filled with an impact-sensitive explosive. An additional high explosive charge could be placed behind the impact-sensitive explosive, if one of the larger capsules were used. Finally, the explosive capsule would be reglued back together, and a tassel or cotton would be glued to the end containing the high explosive, to insure that the impact-detonating explosive struck the target first. Such a device would probably be about 3/4 of an inch long, not including the tassel or cotton, and look something like this: ____________________ /mercury | \----------------------- (fulminate| R.D.X. )---------------------- } tassels \________|___________/----------------------- [ ] *SPECIAL AMMUNITION FOR WRISTROCKETS AND SLINGSHOTS* A modern wristrocket is a formidable weapon. It can throw a shooter marble about 500 ft. with reasonable accuracy. Inside of 200 ft., it could well be lethal to a man or animal, if it struck in a vital area. Because of the relatively large sized projectile that can be used in a wristrocket, the wristrocket can be adapted to throw relatively powerful explosive projectiles. A small segment of aluminum pipe could be made into an impact-detonating device by filling it with an impact-sensitive explosive material. Also, such a pipe could be filled with a low-order explosive, and fitted with a fuse, which would be lit before the device was shot. One would have to make sure that the fuse was of sufficient length to insure that the device did not explode before it reached its intended target. Finally, .22 caliber caps, such as the kind that are used in .22 caliber blank guns, make excellent exploding ammunition for wristrockets, but they must be used at a relatively close range, because of their light weight. [ ] *SPECIAL AMMUNITION FOR SHOTGUNS* Because of their large bore and high power, it is possible to create some extremely powerful special ammunition for use in shotguns. If a shotgun shell is opened at the top, and the shot removed, the shell can be re-closed. Then, if one can find a very smooth, lightweight wooden dowel that is close to the bore width of the shotgun, a person can make several types of shotgun- launched weapons. Insert the dowel in the barrel of the shotgun with the shell without the shot in the firing chamber. Mark the dowel about six inches away from the end of the barrel, and remove it from the barrel. Next, decide what type of explosive or incendiary device is to be used. This device can be a chemical fire bottle (sect. 3.43), a pipe bomb (sect 4.42), or a thermit bomb (sect 3.41 and 4.42). After the device is made, it must be securely attached to the dowel. When this is done, place the dowel back in the shotgun. The bomb or incendiary device should be on the end of the dowel. Make sure that the device has a long enough fuse, light the fuse, and fire the shotgun. If the projectile is not too heavy, ranges of up to 300 ft are possible. A diagram of a shotgun projectile is shown below: ____ || | || | || | ----- bomb, securely taped to dowel || | ||__| || | || | ------- fuse || | || || || || --------- dowel || || || || || || --------- insert this end into shotgun [ ] Shotgun shell bomb These little goodies are affectionately known as "nut busters." They are simply shotgun shells enclosed in cardboard rolls with cardboard fins put on. On the primer end of the shell is glued a small cork with a hole drilled through it. A roofing nail fits in the hole snugly enough to stay in, but loose enough to plunge into the primer upon impact. Since the shell is not confined in the chamber of the gun, it will naturally not cause the same amount of damage. But if it goes off between a fellow's legs he can look forward to becoming a soprano. These bombs are thrown singly or by the handful into the air over milling crowds. The weight of the shell and stabilization by the fins causes the nut buster to head straight downward. It has tremendous effect as its presence is usually a suprise. The threat of more coming is guaranteed to route any mob. Not only does it go off on the pavement but it will also explode on contact with a person's head or shoulder. At night it is impossible to trace its point of origin. ----- ! % /> ! % /- Cork Fins ! ! v --------------------!% ! % ! !-----! ! % ! ! %> !------ ! ! !---! <-- Roofing nail ! ! !-----! ! / ! % --------------------!/ % ! ! ^ %-> ! / ^ % ! / ! % ----- !

The shell is simply shoved up a car's exhaust pipe with a length of stiff wire until it drops into the muffler. After a few minutes on the road the shell explodes, totalling out the muffler and treating the driver to a sick kind of panic. [ ] *SPECIAL AMMUNITION FOR B.B GUNS* A B.B gun, for this manuscript, will be considered any type of rifle or pistol that uses compressed air or CO2 gas to fire a projectile with a caliber of .177, either B.B, or lead pellet. Such guns can have almost as high a muzzle velocity as a bullet-firing rifle. Because of the speed at which a .177 caliber projectile flies, an impact detonating projectile can easily be made that has a caliber of .177. Most ammunition for guns of greater than .22 caliber use primers to ignite the powder in the bullet. These primers can be bought at gun stores, since many people like to reload their own bullets. Such primers detonate when struck by the firing pin of a gun. They will also detonate if they are thrown at a hard surface at a great speed. Usually, they will also fit in the barrel of a .177 caliber gun. If they are inserted flat end first, they will detonate when the gun is fired at a hard surface. If such a primer is attached to a piece of thin metal tubing, such as that used in an antenna, the tube can be filled with an explosive, be sealed, and fired from a B.B gun. A diagram of such a projectile appears below: _____ primers _______ | | | | | | V V ______ ______ | ________________________ |------------------- | ****** explosive ******* |------------------- } tassel or | ________________________ |------------------- cotton |_____ _____|------------------- ^ | | |_______ antenna tubing The front primer is attached to the tubing with a drop of super glue. The tubing is then filled with an explosive, and the rear primer is glued on. Finally, a tassel, or a small piece of cotton is glued to the rear primer, to insure that the projectile strikes on the front primer. The entire projectile should be about 3/4 of an inch long. [ ] *SPECIAL AMMUNITION FOR .22 CALIBER PELLET GUNS* A .22 caliber pellet gun usually is equivalent to a .22 cal rifle, at close ranges. Because of this, relatively large explosive projectiles can be adapted for use with .22 caliber air rifles. A design similar to that used in section 5.12 is suitable, since some capsules are about .22 caliber or smaller. Or, a design similar to that in section 5.31 could be used, only one would have to purchase black powder percussion caps, instead of ammunition primers, since there are percussion caps that are about .22 caliber. A #11 cap is too small, but anything larger will do nicely. [ ] *ROCKETS* Rockets were first developed by the Chinese several hundred years before Christ. They were used for entertainment, in the form of fireworks. They were not usually used for military purposes because they were inaccurate, expensive, and unpredictable. In modern times, however, rockets are used constantly by the military, since they are cheap, reliable, and have no recoil. Perpetrators of violence, fortunately, cannot obtain military rockets, but they can make or buy rocket engines. Model rocketry is a popular hobby of the space age, and to launch a rocket, an engine is required. Estes, a subsidiary of Damon, is the leading manufacturer of model rockets and rocket engines. Their most powerful engine, the "D" engine, can develop almost 12 lbs. of thrust; enough to send a relatively large explosive charge a significant distance. Other companies, such as Centuri, produce even larger rocket engines, which develop up to 30 lbs. of thrust. These model rocket engines are quite reliable, and are designed to be fired electrically. Most model rocket engines have three basic sections. The diagram below will help explain them. __________________________________________________________ |_________________________________________________________| -- cardboard \ clay | - - - - - - - - - - | * * * | . . . .|c| casing \_______| - - - - - - - - - | * * * | . . . |l| ______ _ - - - thrust - - - | smoke | eject |a| / clay | - - - - - - - - - | * * * | . . . .|y| /________|_____________________|_______|________|_|_______ |_________________________________________________________| -- cardboard casing The clay nozzle is where the igniter is inserted. When the area labeled "thrust" is ignited, the "thrust" material, usually a large single grain of a propellant such as black powder or pyrodex, burns, forcing large volumes of hot, rapidly expanding gasses out the narrow nozzle, pushing the rocket forward. After the material has been consumed, the smoke section of the engine is ignited. It is usually a slow-burning material, similar to black powder that has had various compounds added to it to produce visible smoke, usually black, white, or yellow in color. This section exists so that the rocket will be seen when it reaches its maximum altitude, or apogee. When it is burned up, it ignites the ejection charge, labeled "eject". The ejection charge is finely powdered black powder. It burns very rapidly, exploding, in effect. The explosion of the ejection charge pushes out the parachute of the model rocket. It could also be used to ignite the fuse of a bomb... Rocket engines have their own peculiar labeling system. Typical engine labels are: 1/4A-2T, 1/2A-3T, A8-3, B6-4, C6-7, and D12-5. The letter is an indicator of the power of an engine. "B" engines are twice as powerful as "A" engines, and "C" engines are twice as powerful as "B" engines, and so on. The number following the letter is the approximate thrust of the engine, in pounds. the final number and letter is the time delay, from the time that the thrust period of engine burn ends until the ejection charge fires; "3T" indicates a 3 second delay. NOTE: an extremely effective rocket propellant can be made by mixing aluminum dust with ammonium perchlorate and a very small amount of iron oxide. The mixture is bound together by an epoxy. [ ] *Rocket Bomb* A rocket bomb is simply what the name implies: a bomb that is delivered to its target by means of a rocket. Most people who would make such a device would use a model rocket engine to power the device. By cutting fins from balsa wood and gluing them to a large rocket engine, such as the Estes "C" engine, a basic rocket could be constructed. Then, by attaching a "crater maker", or CO2 cartridge bomb to the rocket, a bomb would be added. To insure that the fuse of the "crater maker" (see sect. 4.42) ignited, the clay over the ejection charge of the engine should be scraped off with a plastic tool. The fuse of the bomb should be touching the ejection charge, as shown below. ____________ rocket engine | _________ crater maker | | | | V | _______________________________V_ |_______________________________| ______________________ \ | - - - - - -|***|::::| /# # # # # # # # # # # \ \__| - - - - - -|***|::::| ___/ # # # # # # # # # # # \ __ - - - - - -|***|::::|---fuse--- # # explosive # # ) / | - - - - - -|***|::::| ___ # # # # # # # # # # # / /___|____________|___|____|____ \_______________________/ |_______________________________| thrust> - - - - - - smoke> *** ejection charge> :::: Duct tape is the best way to attach the crater maker to the rocket engine. Note in the diagram the absence of the clay over the ejection charge Many different types of explosive payloads can be attached to the rocket, such as a high explosive, an incendiary device, or a chemical fire bottle. Either four or three fins must be glued to the rocket engine to insure that the rocket flies straight. The fins should look like the following diagram: |\ | \ | \ | \ <--------- glue this to rocket engine | \ | \ | \ | | | | | | leading edge | -------> | | | | | trailing edge | | <-------- | | | | | | | | \_____/ The leading edge and trailing edge should be sanded with sandpaper so that they are rounded. This will help make the rocket fly straight. A two inch long section of a plastic straw can be attached to the rocket to launch it from. A clothes hanger can be cut and made into a launch rod. The segment of a plastic straw should be glued to the rocket engine adjacent to one of the fins of the rocket. A front view of a completed rocket bomb is shown below. | fin | <------ fin | | | | | | | __|__ | V / \ V ---------------| |--------------- \_____/ |o <----------- segment of plastic straw | | | <------ fin | | By cutting a coat hanger at the indicated arrows, and bending it, a launch rod can be made. After a fuse is inserted in the engine, the rocket is simply slid down the launch rod, which is put through the segment of plastic straw. The rocket should slide easily along a coathanger, such as the one illustated on the following page: ____ / \ | | cut here _____ | | | | | | / \ V / \ _________________/ \________________ / \ / \ /____________________________________________\ ^ | | and here ______| Bend wire to this shape: _______ insert into straw | | | V ____________________________________________ \ \ \ \ \ <--------- bend here to adjust flight angle | | | | | | <---------- put this end in ground | [ ] *Rocket Bomb - (Long Range)* Long range rockets can be made by using multi-stage rockets. Model rocket engines with an "0" for a time delay are designed for use in multi- stage rockets. An engine such as the D12-0 is an excellent example of such an engine. Immediately after the thrust period is over, the ejection charge explodes. If another engine is placed directly against the back of an "0" engine, the explosion of the ejection charge will send hot gasses and burning particles into the nozzle of the engine above it, and ignite the thrust section. This will push the used "0" engine off of the rocket, causing an overall loss of weight. The main advantage of a multi-stage rocket is that it loses weight as travels, and it gains velocity. A multi-stage rocket must be designed somewhat differently than a single stage rocket, since, in order for a rocket to fly straight, its center of gravity must be ahead of its center of drag. This is accomplished by adding weight to the front of the rocket, or by moving the center of drag back by putting fins on the rocket that are well behind the rocket. A diagram of a multi-stage rocket appears on the following page: ___ / \ | | | C | | M | ------ CM: Crater Maker | | | | |___| | | | | | | | C | ------ C6-5 rocket engine /| 6 |\ / | | | \ / | 5 | \ / |___| \ ---- fin / /| |\ \ / / | | \ \ / / | | \ \ / / | C | \ \ | / | 6 | \ | | / | | | \ | | / | 0 | \ | |/ |___| \| | / \ | \______/ ^ \______/ ------- fin | | | | C6-0 rocket engine The fuse is put in the bottom engine. Two, three, or even four stages can be added to a rocket bomb to give it a longer range. It is important, however, that for each additional stage, the fin area gets larger. [ ] *Rocket Bombs - (Multiple Warheads)* "M.R.V." is an acronym for Multiple Reentry Vehicle. The concept is simple: put more than one explosive warhead on a single missile. This can be done without too much difficulty by anyone who knows how to make crater-makers and can buy rocket engines. By attaching crater makers with long fuses to a rocket, it is possible that a single rocket could deliver several explosive devices to a target. Such a rocket might look like the diagram on the following page: ___ / \ | | | C | | M | |___| ___| |___ | | | | | | T | | / \ | U | / \ / \| B |/ \ | || E || | | C || || C | | M || || M | | ||___|| | \___/| E |\___/ | N | /| G |\ / | I | \ / | N | \ / | E | \ / |___| \ / fin/ | \ fin\ | / | \ | \__/ | \__/ ^ |____ fin The crater makers are attached to the tube of rolled paper with tape. the paper tube is made by rolling and gluing a 4 inch by 8 inch piece of paper. The tube is glued to the engine, and is filled with gunpowder or black powder. Small holes are punched in it, and the fuses of the crater makers are inserted in these holes. A crater maker is glued to the open end of the tube, so that its fuse is inside the tube. A fuse is inserted in the engine, or in the bottom engine if the rocket bomb is multi stage, and the rocket is launched from the coathanger launcher, if a segment of a plastic straw has been attached to it. [ ] *Cannon* The cannon is a piece of artillery that has been in use since the 11th century. It is not unlike a musket, in that it is filled with powder, loaded, and fired. Cannons of this sort must also be cleaned after each shot, otherwise, the projectile may jam in the barrel when it is fired, causing the barrel to explode. A sociopath could build a cannon without too much trouble, if he/she had a little bit of money, and some patience. [ ] *Pipe Cannon* A simple cannon can be made from a thick pipe by almost anyone. The only difficult part is finding a pipe that is extremely smooth on its interior. This is absolutely necessary; otherwise, the projectile may jam. Copper or aluminum piping is usually smooth enough, but it must also be extremely thick to withstand the pressure developed by the expanding hot gasses in a cannon. If one uses a projectile such as a CO2 cartridge, since such a projectile can be made to explode, a pipe that is about 1.5 - 2 feet long is ideal. Such a pipe MUST have walls that are at least 1/3 to 1/2 an inch thick, and be very smooth on the interior. If possible, screw an endplug into the pipe. Otherwise, the pipe must be crimped and folded closed, without cracking or tearing the pipe. A small hole is drilled in the back of the pipe near the crimp or endplug. Then, all that need be done is fill the pipe with about two teaspoons of grade blackpowder or pyrodex, insert a fuse, pack it lightly by ramming a wad of tissue paper down the barrel, and drop in a CO2 cartridge. Brace the cannon securely against a strong structure, light the fuse, and run. If the person is lucky, he will not have overcharged the cannon, and he will not be hit by pieces of exploding barrel. Such a cannon would look like this: __________________ fuse hole | | V ________________________________________________________________ | |______________________________________________________________| |endplug|powder|t.p.| CO2 cartridge | ______|______|____|____________________________________________ |_|______________________________________________________________| An exploding projectile can be made for this type of cannon with a CO2 cartridge. It is relatively simple to do. Just make a crater maker, and construct it such that the fuse projects about an inch from the end of the cartridge. Then, wrap the fuse with duct tape, covering it entirely, except for a small amount at the end. Put this in the pipe cannon without using a tissue paper packing wad. When the cannon is fired, it will ignite the end of the fuse, and shoot the CO2 cartridge. The explosive-filled cartridge will explode in about three seconds, if all goes well. Such a projectile would look like this: ___ / \ | | | C | | M | | | | | |\ /| | | | ---- tape |_|_| | | ------ fuse [ ] *Rocket Firing Cannon* A rocket firing cannon can be made exactly like a normal cannon; the only difference is the ammunition. A rocket fired from a cannon will fly further than a rocket alone, since the action of shooting it overcomes the initial inertia. A rocket that is launched when it is moving will go further than one that is launched when it is stationary. Such a rocket would resemble a normal rocket bomb, except it would have no fins. It would look like this: ___ / \ | | | C | | M | | | | | |___| | E | | N | | G | | I | | N | | E | |___| the fuse on such a device would, obviously, be short, but it would not be ignited until the rocket's ejection charge exploded. Thus, the delay before the ejection charge, in effect, becomes the delay before the bomb explodes. Note that no fuse need be put in the rocket; the burning powder in the cannon will ignite it, and simultaneously push the rocket out of the cannon at a high velocity. [ ] *HOME-BREW BLAST CANON* Materials: ---> 1 plastic drain pipe, 3 feet long, at least 3 1/2 inches in diameter ---> 1 smaller plastic pipe, about 6 inches long, 2 inches in diameter ---> 1 large lighter, w/ fluid refills (this gobbles it up) ---> 1 pipe cap to fit the large pipe, 1 pipe cap to fit the smaller pipe ---> 5 feet of bell wire ---> 1 SPST rocker switch ---> 1 6v polaroid potapulse battery ---> 1 5v relay (get this at radio shack) ---> electrical tape ---> one free afternoon Procedure: 1. cut the bell wire into 3 equal pieces, and strip the ends 2. cut a hole in the side of the large pipe, the same diameter as the small pipe; thread the hole and one end of the small pipe. They should screw together easily. 3. take a piece of scrap metal, and bend it into an "L" shape, then attach it to the lever on the lighter like so: /----------- gas switch is here ________ V / \__-----\ ! lighter ! ! <--- metal lever ! ! ! ! ! Now, every time you pull the "trigger", gas should flow freely from the lighter; you may need to enlarge the "gas port" on the lighter, if you wish to be able to fire more rapidly. 4. connect 2 wires to the two posts on the switch 5. cut to holes in the side of the smaller tube, one for the switch on the bottom, and one for the metal piece on top; then mount the switch in the bottom, running the wires up and out the top; mount the lighter/trigger in the top; now the switch should rock easily, and the trigger should cause the lighter to pour out gas. Re-screw the smaller tube into the larger one, hold own the trigger a bit, let it go, and throw a match in there; if all goes well, you should get a nice big "THUD!" 6. get hold of the relay, and take off the top: 1 ----------+ V _/ 2 --------/ <---- the center object is the metal ^ finger inside the relay 3 ----------+ CC OO -------- 4 II LL -------- 5 Connect (1) to one of the wires comming from the switch; connect (2) to (4), and connect (5) to one side of the battery; connect the remaining wire from the switch to the other side of the battery; now you should be able to get the relay to make a little "buzzing" sound when you flip the switch and you should see some tiny little sparks. 7. now, carefully mount the relay on the inside of the large pipe, towards the back; screw on the smaller pipe; tape the battery to the side of the canon barrel (yes, but looks arent everything) 8. you should now be able to let a little gas into the barrel and set it off by flipping the switch. 9. put the cap on the back end of the large pipe VERY SECURELY. You are now ready for the first trial-run. To Test: Put something very very large into the barrel, just so that in fits "just right". Now, find a strong guy (the recoil will probably knock you over if you arent careful). Put on a shoulder pad, and earmuffs, and possibly some other protective clothing. Hold the trigger down for 30 seconds, hold on tight, and hit the switch. With luck and the proper adjustments, you should be able to put a frozen orange through 1/4 plywood at 25 feet. Have phun! [ ] *TEAR GAS* A terrorist who could make tear gas or some similar compound could use it with ease against a large number of people. Tear gas is fairly complicated to make, however, and this prevents such individuals from being able to utilize its great potential for harm. One method for its preparation is shown below. EQUIPMENT 1. ring stands (2) 2. alcohol burner 3. erlenmeyer flask, 300 ml 4. clamps (2) 5. rubber stopper 6. glass tubing 7. clamp holder 8. condenser 9. rubber tubing 10. collecting flask 11. air trap 12. beaker, 300 ml MATERIALS 10 gms glycerine 2 gms sodium bisulfate distilled water 1.) In an open area, wearing a gas mask, mix 10 gms of glycerine with 2 gms of sodium bisulfate in the 300 ml erlenmeyer flask. 2.) Light the alcohol burner, and gently heat the flask. 3.) The mixture will begin to bubble and froth; these bubbles are tear gas. 4.) When the mixture being heated ceases to froth and generate gas, or a brown residue becomes visible in the tube, the reaction is complete. Remove the heat source, and dispose of the heated mixture, as it is corrosive. 5.) The material that condenses in the condenser and drips into the collecting flask is tear gas. It must be capped tightly, and stored in a safe place. [ ] *FIRECRACKERS* A simple firecracker can be made from cardboard tubing and epoxy. The instructions are below: 1) Cut a small piece of cardboard tubing from the tube you are using. "Small" means anything less than 4 times the diameter of the tube. 2) Set the section of tubing down on a piece of wax paper, and fill it with epoxy and the drying agent to a height of 3/4 the diameter of the tubing. Allow the epoxy to dry to maximum hardness, as specified on the package. 3) When it is dry, put a small hole in the middle of the tube, and insert a desired length of fuse. 4) Fill the tube with any type of flame-sensitive explosive. Flash powder, pyrodex, black powder, potassium picrate, lead azide, nitrocellulose, or any of the fast burning fuel-oxodizer mixtures will do nicely. Fill the tube almost to the top. 5) Pack the explosive tightly in the tube with a wad of tissue paper and a pencil or other suitable ramrod. Be sure to leave enough space for more epoxy. 6) Fill the remainder of the tube with the epoxy and hardener, and allow it to dry. 7) For those who wish to make spectacular firecrackers, always use flash powder, mixed with a small amount of other material for colors. By crushing the material on a sparkler, and adding it to the flash powder, the explosion will be the same color as the sparkler. By adding small chunks of sparkler material, the device will throw out colored burning sparks, of the same color as the sparkler. By adding powdered iron, orange sparks will be produced. White sparks can be produced from magnesium shavings, or from small, LIGHTLY crumpled balls of aluminum foil. Example: Suppose I wish to make a firecracker that will explode with a red flash, and throw out white sparks. First, I would take a road flare, and finely powder the material inside it. Or, I could take a red sparkler, and finely powder it. Then, I would mix a small amount of this material with the flash powder. (NOTE: FLASH POWDER MAY REACT WITH SOME MATERIALS THAT IT IS MIXED WITH, AND EXPLODE SPONTANEOUSLY!) I would mix it in a ratio of 9 parts flash powder to 1 part of flare or sparkler material, and add about 15 small balls of aluminum foil I would store the material in a plastic bag overnight outside of the house, to make sure that the stuff doesn't react. Then, in the morning, I would test a small amount of it, and if it was satisfactory, I would put it in the firecracker. 8) If this type of firecracker is mounted on a rocket engine, professional to semi-professional displays can be produced. [ ] *SKYROCKETS* An impressive home made skyrocket can easily be made in the home from model rocket engines. Estes engines are recommended. 1) Buy an Estes Model Rocket Engine of the desired size, remembering that the power doubles with each letter. (See sect. 6.1 for details) 2) Either buy a section of body tube for model rockets that exactly fits the engine, or make a tube from several thicknesses of paper and glue. 3) Scrape out the clay backing on the back of the engine, so that the powder is exposed. Glue the tube to the engine, so that the tube covers at least half the engine. Pour a small charge of flash powder in the tube, about 1/2 an inch. 4) By adding materials as detailed in the section on firecrackers, various types of effects can be produced. 5) By putting Jumping Jacks or bottle rockets without the stick in the tube, spectacular displays with moving fireballs or M.R.V.'s can be produced. 6) Finally, by mounting many home made firecrackers on the tube with the fuses in the tube, multiple colored bursts can be made. [ ] *ROMAN CANDLES* Roman candles are impressive to watch. They are relatively difficult to make, compared to the other types of home-made fireworks, but they are well worth the trouble. 1) Buy a 1/2 inch thick model rocket body tube, and reinforce it with several layers of paper and/or masking tape. This must be done to prevent the tube from exploding. Cut the tube into about 10 inch lengths. 2) Put the tube on a sheet of wax paper, and seal one end with epoxy and the drying agent. About 1/2 of an inch is sufficient. 3) Put a hole in the tube just above the bottom layer of epoxy, and insert a desired length of water proof fuse. Make sure that the fuse fits tightly. 4) Pour about 1 inch of pyrodex or gunpowder down the open end of the tube. 5) Make a ball by powdering about two 6 inch sparklers of the desired color. Mix this powder with a small amount of flash powder and a small amount of pyrodex, to have a final ratio (by volume) of 60% sparkler material / 20% flash powder / 20% pyrodex. After mixing the powders well, add water, one drop at a time, and mixing continuously, until a damp paste is formed. This paste should be moldable by hand, and should retain its shape when left alone. Make a ball out of the paste that just fits into the tube. Allow the ball to dry. 6) When it is dry, drop the ball down the tube. It should slide down fairly easily. Put a small wad of tissue paper in the tube, and pack it gently against the ball with a pencil. 7) When ready to use, put the candle in a hole in the ground, pointed in a safe direction, light the fuse, and run. If the device works, a colored fireball should shoot out of the tube to a height of about 30 feet. This height can be increased by adding a slightly larger powder charge in step 4, or by using a slightly longer tube. 8) If the ball does not ignite, add slightly more pyrodex in step 5. 9) The balls made for roman candles also function very well in rockets, producing an effect of falling colored fireballs.

A list of such chemicals in order of priority would probably resemble the following: LIQUIDS SOLIDS Nitric Acid Potassium Perchlorate Sulfuric Acid Potassium Chlorate 95% Ethanol Picric Acid (usually a powder) Toluene Ammonium Nitrate Perchloric Acid Powdered Magnesium Hydrochloric Acid Powdered Aluminum Potassium Permanganate Sulfur Mercury Potassium Nitrate Potassium Hydroxide Phosphorus Sodium Azide Lead Acetate Barium Nitrate [ ] *USEFUL PYROCHEMISTRY* In general, it is possible to make many chemicals from just a few basic ones. A list of useful chemical reactions is presented. It assumes knowledge of general chemistry; any individual who does not understand the following reactions would merely have to read the first five chapters of a high school chemistry book. 1. potassium perchlorate from perchloric acid and potassium hydroxide K(OH) + HClO ----> KClO + H O 4 4 2 2. potassium nitrate from nitric acid and potassium hydroxide " + HNO ----> KNO + " 3 3 3. ammonium perchlorate from perchloric acid and ammonium hydroxide NH OH + HClO ----> NH ClO + " 3 4 3 4 4. ammonium nitrate from nitric acid and ammonium hydroxide NH OH + HNO ----> NH NO + " 3 3 3 3 5. powdered aluminum from acids, aluminum foil, and magnesium A. aluminum foil + 6HCl ----> 2AlCl + 3H 3 2 B. 2AlCl (aq) + 3Mg ----> 3MgCl (aq) + 2Al 3 2 The Al will be a very fine silvery powder at the bottom of the container which must be filtered and dried. This same method works with nitric and sulfuric acids, but these acids are too valuable in the production of high explosives to use for such a purpose, unless they are available in great excess. [ ] *ways to Torture a Cat* Many times I have wanted to beat the shit out of that furry little bastard that always seems to piss me off. Either by taking a nice warm shit on my brand new carpet, or decided to use me as a clawing device. I'd like to suggest ways to hurt or piss off the little shithead that you can't get rid of, usually cause you're mom thinks it's the nicest fucker alive. 1 -- Kick it Around, you know, when the fucker get's in your way, whether it be when you're taking a shit and it comes in and watches, or when you're sleeping and it sits on your face. Just put a little force into it and BLAM! The fucker goes flying. It's especially nice to watch a cat go flying on a wood floor, with all four spread, doing 360's and crying like a Mexican without his burrito. Kicking him from under (like under the stomach) let's loose a flying cat, spinning and twirling in the air. 2 -- Tail tricks....This is the fun part...Seeing the cat can't really get to it's tail, you can do shit with it and the cat it defenseless. Try tying the cat's tail to his front paw, cause everyone time it walks, it's tail get's pulled, looks like some diseased person trying to walk. Or even better, get a nice grab of the tail, and start spinning the cat around using it, the cat will have to take the pain, cause by force of nature, it can't reach it's paws around to scratch you since it's spinning so fast it's paws are spread-eagle like. If you have glue, and the cat's tail is long enough, or maybe just a tad shorter, you can glue it's tail to it's nose, which is cool. The cat moves his head and his ass comes up with it (how'z that for a chain reaction?) Like it'll be walking around town with it's ass all dangling up, all the other furry fucks will ram it up, which in turn, will make the cat freak when it tries to sit down (get it?). But that's kinda mean. 3 -- whiskers (heh, heh, heh)....Ok, you know who you are people, you kind that clips cat's whiskers and laughs like hell. Cat's use whiskers to navigate in the dark, like when they're entering a tight spot, their whiskers will tell them if they're about to run into something (kind of like those cadillacs with those metal tubes sticking out the side). So what do you do? You cut the fuckers whiskers, down to you start getting fur. Then you gotta through the cat in a closet, and open the door, oh, about 4 inches. The cat will naturally be fucked and stunned that us humans would do such a thing (it probably is equlivant of a cat cutting off your dick) and he'll start bumping around, wondering what the fuck....So you just sit there and laugh your ass off. The cat might eventually make it's way out of the closet, but maybe you could, hmmm... 4 -- Pillow Case....Well, this is kind of funny...All you do is throw the little fuck in a pillow case, and go into an open room (you don't want to beat it to death, well, not yet atleast). And start swinging the fucker around in circles, again and again, the cat will probably be crying for it's life (but don't give in to it's whining, cause when it get's out, it wants blood) keep swinging it around and around, faster and faster, stop when you're too dizzy to figure out where the cat is, then quickly open the pillow case and let the bastard fall out (it WILL fall, believe me). You got to make sure you can see it (cause you're gonna be almost as dizzy). The fucker will be sitting there, moving it's head in circles, still thinking its spinning. This is the good part, cause as far as the cat knows, it's totally high on Catnip or something. You can do anything, it's up to you. 4 -- Water ...We all know that cats hate water more than dogs, and would rather travel in a car then deal with it. But cat's are funny as hell in water. Try filling up a tub, or a sink, or something with water in it that the cat will fit in. Throw the fucker in for a minute or two (unless it's definitely going to drown, we'll talk about killing them later) and watch it squeal..They act like water is acid or something and yet they still drink water out of the toilet when none is available (these fuckers gotta get their facts straight). After the cat has had enough torture, grab it by the ear, or tail, or get a good grab around it's head and throw it out (throw it outside you fool). When a cat get's wet (especially a long-haired cat) they look like giant ferrets, really nasty like (which might persuade you to do something else, like nail it to a 2 by 4 and shoot it full of b-b's) but don't hurt it too bad.. 5 -- Misc. shit....Stick the cat in the Microwave (no, really) and don't turn it on (yet) just let it sit there, and look through the little see-through window...It should be scared as hell, since it's in a really tight spot, can't move much at all...If you really want to screw the fucker, nuke it! Just nuke it for 20 seconds at a time...The cat will start squirming at about 10 seconds (depending on the wattage of the Microwave)...After about 30 seconds, the cat will definitely have radiation poisioning, which will probably kill it within a month or less. If you nuke it for a minute, you'll probably kill it, depending on the size of the cat, the microwave cooks inside out, so after a minute, it's intestines and lungs will be a little toasty, maybe killing it, if not, probably sterilizing it or leaving it a slow and terrible death. Of course, you can go "All-Out" if you REALLY express rage for it, and can nuke it for 5 minutes...This is NOT for the Squeamish....I DO know someone who did this, and saw it....It was pretty fucking gross, and being the cat hater I am, I still felt sorry for it. In 30 seconds, it starts kicking and screaming and freaking out (which brings me to the point, you gotta make sure the door can't be opened, and you gotta make sure you don't want the microwave anymore). In 1 minute, it was started to spaz like nothing you've ever seen before, some blood was coming from it's mouth due to internal cuts the Nuking did, all types of seisures and some last moans were following at 2 minutes. At about 2 and a half minutes, the cat was still alive, it's pupils were dialated and it was twitching like someone stuck a Electrolysis gun up it's ass...At 3 minutes, it's almost dead...The smell of the cat would make any mortician throw up, that's why I would suggest alot of open windows and doors and some type of gas mask on. The last two minutes it the cool part...Now that the fucker is dead (for good reason too) it's time to watch the fireworks...I think at around 4 minutes, the cat started popping, it's eyeballs literally popped out of it's sockets, and the blood started to ooze, not a pretty sight..At about, 4 mins 15 seconds, it's fur starts to curl (although it was already crispy) and at about 5 minutes, the whole microwave is one big slaughterhouse. Which brings me to clean up...DON'T! I said earlier, Nuke the cat in a microwave you no longer want to use (not to mention the microwave is probably broken anyway). Just throw the microwave away and chuckle off a couple laughs...Even take poloraids if you want. [ ] *Tennis Ball Bomb #2 1. Gasoline 2. Tennis Ball 3. Piece of Cloth 4. Can of wd-40 First punch a hole in the tennis ball about the size of a nickel. Then simply pour gasoline into the small hole you have punched into the ball. The ball should be filled almost to the top with gasoline. After you have finished that small task, roll up the piece of cloth you have so it will fit into the hole you have made in the ball. Now spray the rolled up cloth with wd-40. Be sure the cloth (when rolled) is about 1.5 feet long so you have enough time to run once lit. Now stick the cloth into the hole you have punched into the ball. You now have what should look like an old fashioned bomb. Now all you have to do next is find a good place to light it and you should be all set. The small explosive could do one of 2 things. It could explode (hopefully) or it could put out quite a shower of fire. [ ] Splatter Bomb 1.Small Jar 2.Piece of cloth 3.Oil 4.Gasoline This small and very simple bomb is the funnest, and most deadly for its size. Simple take 75% gasoline and 25% oil and mix them together in the small jar. Then punch a hole in the lid of the jar (nickel size). Now roll up the cloth and make it like a fuse. Then dip the very tip of the cloth fuse in the mixture of oil and gas. Now screw the lid to the jar (with the hole in it). Insert the cloth fuse with the small area you dipped in the mixture on top (so you can light it). Now go out onto the street and light the fuse, and throw the jar with gas,etc. in the air and run. When the jar hits the street it will break and splatter gas and oil everywhere making a huge fire. The oil will stick to anything causing the gas and oil to burn whatever it hits. Even a small drop of the mixture would burn for about 30 seconds or longer. When the lit fuse makes contact with the mixture watchout! [ ] *Gasoline balloon* 1.Balloon 2.Gasoline 3.Small rubber tube 4.Ability to syfin 5.Sulfer fuse 6.Spray bottle In order to create this you must have to be able to syfin gasoline. Take the rubber tube and put it in your supply of gasoline. Then syfin some gas through the tube. Now quickly! insert the tube into the mouth of the balloon. If you syfined correctly gas should be pouring into the balloon (making it like a water balloon, but only a gas balloon). Once the balloon is as full as you want to get it stop the gas flow and tie the balloon. Now tie the sulfer fuse around the balloon (like you would with a string). Then fill your empty spray bottle half full of gas. When done with that, spray the outside of the balloon with gas. Now set the balloon in a safe open area and light the fuse. When you light this it will make the balloon pop, and when it pops it will either explode or make a hugh wave of gasoline. I have had both happen several times. [*Peroxyacetone*] Peroxyacetone is extremely flammable and shock sensitive Materials: 4ml Acetone 4ml 30% Hydrogen Peroxide 4 drops of concentrated Hydrochloric Acid 150mm Test tube Add 4ml Acetone and 4ml Hydrogen Peroxide to the test tube. Then add 4 drops concentrated Hydrochloric Acid. In 10-20 minutes a white solid should begin to appear. If no change is observed, warm the test tube in a water bath at 40 Celsius. Allow the reaction to continue for two hours. Swirl the slurry and filter it. Leave out on filter paper to dry for at least two hours. To ignite, light a candle tied to a meter stick and light it (while staying at least a meter away) [*Plastic Explosive*] Ingredients: -Gasoline - 1 Part -Oil - 1 Half part -Styrofoam - 1 1) Melt styrofoam. Remember never at any time let the mixture get too hot. 2) Let it cool to a thick viscosity. 3) Mix 3 Ingredients together in the following order: First add styrofoam, then Oil, then Gas. 4) Mix in a deep pot - Keep mixture away from any type of fire! Do this step with extreme caution. 5) Let the mixture cool to a little bit warmer than room temperature - Around 88 Degrees Farenheit. 6) Mold the mixture how you want. (Different shapes will make it more or less lethal). Optional: You can add nuts, bolts, and screws while mixing, along with gunpowder, 2 M-80'S, or any other type of explosive to make it the "Equivilant of a Molotov Cocktail. Note: The fragments (nuts, bolt, etc. are deadly. They will penetrate a brick wall when the mixture is detonated. DETONATION: 1) THE MIXTURE CAN BE WIRED FOR AN ELECTRIC CHARGE TO BE SENT THROUGH IT, IT WILL DETONATE WITHOUT DOUBT. A REGULAR FUSE CAN BE SENT THROUGH IT ALSO. IF THIS METHOD IS USED, SOME SORT OF TIMER IS RECOMMENDED. [*Plastic Explosive #2*] 1) Mix: 2 Parts Vaseline : 1 Part Gasoline 2) Ignite with an electric charge [*Plastique Explosive from Aspirin*] This explosive is a phenol dirivative. It is toxic and explosive made from picric acid are poisonous if inhaled, ingested, or handled and absorbed through the skin. The toxicity of this explosive restrict's its use due to the fact that over exposure in most cases causes liver and kidney failure and sometimes death if immediate treatment is not obtained. This explosive is a cousin to T.N.T. but is more powerful than it's cousin. It is the first explosive used militarily and was adopted in 1888 as an artillery shell filler. Originally this explosive was derived from coal tar but thanx to modern chemistry you can make this explosive easily in approximately three hours from acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin purified). This procedure involves dissolving the acetylsalicylic acid in warm sulfuric acid and adding sodium or potassium nitrate which nitrates the purified aspirin Band the whole mixture drowned in water and filtered to obtain the final product. This explosive is called trinitrophenol. Care should be taken to ensure that this explosive is stored in glass containers. Picric acid will form dangerous salts when allowed to contact all metals exept tin and aluminum. These salts are primary explosive and are super sensitive. They also will cause the detonation of the picric acid. To make picric acid obtain some aspirin. The cheaper brands work best but buffered brands should be avoided. Powder these tablets to a fine consistancy. @To extract the acetylsalicylic acid from this powder place this methyl alcohol and stir vigorously. Not all of the powder will dissolve. Filter this powder out of the alcohol. Again wash this powder that was filtered out of the alcohol with more alcohol but with a lesser amount than the first extraction. Again filter the remaining powder out of the alcohol. Combine the now clear alcohol and allow it to evaporate in a pyrex dish. When the alcohol has evaporated there will be a surprising amount of crystals in the bottom of the pyrex dish. Take fourty grams of these purified acetylsalicylic acid crystals and dissolve them in 150 ml. of sulfuric acid (98%, specify gravity 1.8) and heat to dissolve all the crystals. This heating can be done in a common electric frying pan with the thermostat set on 150 deg. F. and filled with a good cooking oil. When all the crystals have dissolved in the sulfuric acid take the beaker, that you've done all this dissolving in (600 ml.), out of the oil bath. This next step will need to be done with a very good ventilation system (it idea to do any chemistry work such as the whole procedure and any procedure on this disk with good ventilation or outside). Slowly start adding 58 g. of sodium nitrate or 77 g. of potassium nitrate to te acid mixture in the beaker very slowly in small portions with vigorous stirring. A red gas nitrogen trioxide) will be formed and this should be avoided. The mixture is foam up and the addition should be stopped until the foaming goes down to prevent the overflow of the acid mixture in the beaker. When the potassium nitrate has been added the mixture is allowed to cool somewhat (30-40 deg. C.). The solution should then be dumped slowly into twice it's volume of crushed ice and water. The brilliant yellow crystals will form in the water. These should be filtered out and placed in 200 ml. of boiling distilled water. This water is allowed to cool and then the crystals are then filtered out of the water. These crystals are a very, very pure trinitrophenol. These crystals are then placed in a pyrex dish and places in an oil bath and heated to 80 deg. C. and held there for 2 hours. This temperature is best maintained and checked with a thermometer. The crystals are then powdered in small quantities to a face powder consistency. These powdered crystals are then mixed with 10% by weight wax and 5% vaseline which are heated to melting temperature and poured @into the crystals. The mixing is best done by kneading together with gloved hands. This explosive should have a useful plsticity range of 0-40 deg. C.. The detonation velocity should be around 7000 m/sec.. It is toxic to handle but simply made from common ingredients and is suitable for most demolition work requiring a moderately high detonation velocity. It is very suitable for shaped charges and some steel cutting charges. It is not as good an explosive as C-4 or other R.D.X. based explosives but it is much easier to make. Again this explosive is very toxic and should be treated with great care. AVOID HANDLING BARE-HANDED, BREATHING DUST AND FUMES, AVOID ANY CHANCE OF INGESTION. AFTER UTENSILS ARE USED FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF THIS EXPLOSIVE RETIRE THEM FROM THE KITCHEN AS THE CHANCE OF POISONING IS NOT WORTH THE RISK. THIS EXPLOSIVE, IF MANUFACTURED AS ABOVE, AHOULD BE SAFE IN STORAGE BUT WITH ANY HOMEMADE EXPLOSIVE STORAGE OS NOT RECOMENDED AND EXPLOSIVES SHOULD BE MADE UP AS NEEDED. A V O I D CO N T A C T W I T H A L L M E T A L S E X E C E P T T I N [*Plastique Explosive from Bleach*] This explosive is a potassium chlorate explosive. This explosive and explosives of similar composition were used in World War II as the main explosive filler in gernades, land mines, and mortar used by French, German, and other forces involoved in that conflict. These explosives are relatively safe to manufacture. One should strive to make sure these explosives are free of sulfur, sulfides, and picric acid. The presence of these compounds result in mixtures that are or can become highly sensitive and possibly decompose explosively while in storage. The manufacture of this explosive from bleach is given as just an expediant method. This method of manufacturing chlorate is not economical due to the amount of energy used to boil the solution and cause the 'dissociation' reaction to take place. This procedure does work and yields a relatively pure and a sulfur/sulfide free product. These explosives are very cap sensitive and require only a #3 cap for instigating detonation. To manufacture potassium chlorate from bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution) obtain a heat source (hot plate stove etc.) a battery hydrometer, a large pyrex or enameled steel container (to weigh chemicals), and some potassium chloride (sold as salt substitute). Take one bleach, place it in the container and begin heating it. While this solution heats, weigh out 63 g. potassium chloride and add this to the bleach being heated. Bring this solution to a boil and boiled until when checked by a hydrometer the reading is 1.3 (if a battery hydrometer is used it should read full charge). When the reading is 1.3 take the solution and let it cool in the refrigerator until it's between room temperature and 0 deg. C.. Filter out the crystals that have formed and save them. Boil the solution again until it reads 1.3 on the hydrometer and again cool the solution. Filter out the crystals formed and save them. Boil this solution again and cool as before. Filter and save the crystals. Take these crystals that have been saved and mix them with distilled water in the following proportions: 56 g. per 100 ml. water. Heat this solution until it boils and allow it to cool. Filter the solution and save the crystals that form upon cooling. The process if purification is called fractional crystalization. These crystals should be relatively pure potassium chlorate. Powder these to the consistency of face powder (400 mesh) and heat gently to drive off all moisture. Melt five parts vasoline and five parts wax. Dissolve this in white gasoline (camp stove gasoline) and pour this liquid on 90 parts potassium chlorate (the crystals from the above operation) in a plastic bowl. Knead this liquid into the potassium chlorate until immediately mixed. Allow all the gasoline to evaporate. Place this explosive in a cool, dry place. Avoid friction, sulfur, sulfide, and phosphorous compounds. This explosive is best molded to the desired shape and density (1.3g./cc.) and dipped in wax to water proof. These block type charges guarantee the highest detonation velocity. This explosive is really not suited to use in shaped charge applications due to its relatively low detonation velocity. It is comparable to 40% ammonia dynamite and can be considered the same for the sake of charge computation. If the potassium chlorate is bought and not made it is put into the manufacture process in the powdering stages preceding the addition of the wax/vaseline mixture. This explosive is bristant and powerful. The addition of 2-3% aluminum powder increases its blast effect. Detonation velocity is 3300 m/sec.. [*Plastique Explosives From Swimming Pool Chlorinating Compound* This explosive is a chlorate explosive from bleach. This method of production of potassium or sodium chlorate is easier and yields a more pure product than does the plastique explosive from bleach process. In this reaction the H.T.H. (calcium hypochlorite CaC10) is mixed with water and heated with either sodium chloride (table salt, rock salt) or potassium chloride (salt substitute). The latter of these salts is the salt of choice due to the easy crystalization of the potassium chlorate. This mixture will need to be boiled to ensure complete reaction of the ingredients. Obtain some H.T.H. swimming pool chlorination compound or equivilant (usually 65% calcium hypochlorite). As with the bleach process mentioned earlier the reaction described below is also a dissociation reaction. In a large pyrex glass or enamled steel container place 1200g. H.T.H. Band 220g. potassium chloride or 159g. sodium chloride. Add enough boiling water to dissolve the powder and boil this solution. A chalky substance (calcium chloride) will be formed. When the formation of this chalky substance is no longer formed the solution is filtered while boiling hot. If potassium chloride was used potassium chlorate will be formed. This potassium chlorate will drop out or crystalize as the clear liquid left after filtering cools. These crystals are filtered out when the solution reaches room temperature. If the sodium chloride salt was used this clear filtrate (clear liquid after filteration) will need to have all water evaporated. This will leave crystals which should be saved. These crystals should be heated in a slightly warm oven in a pyrex dish to drive off all traces of water (40-75 deg. C.). These crystals are ground to a very fine powder (400 mesh). If the sodium chloride salt is used in the initial step the crystalization is much more time consuming. The potassium chloride is the salt to use as the resulting product will crystalize out of the solution as it cools. The powdered and completely dry chlorate crystals are kneaded together with vaseline in a plastic bowl. ALL CHLORATE BASED EXPLOSIVES ARE SENSITIVE TO FRICTION AND SHOCK AND THESE SHOULD BE AVOIDED. If sodium chloride is used in this explosive it will have a tendancy to cake and has a slightly lower detonation velocity. This (explosive is composed of the following: potassium/sodium chlorate 90% vaseline 10% A The detonation velocity can be raised to a slight extent by the addition of 2-3% aluminum sunstituted for 2-3% of the vaseline. This addition of this aluminum will give the explosive a bright flash if set off at night which will ruin night vision for a short while. The detonation velocity of this explosive is approximately 3200 m/sec. for the potassium salt and 2900 m/sec. for the sodium salt based explosive. [*Portable Grenade Launcher*] If you have a bow, this one is for you. Remove the ferrule from an aluminum arrow, and fill the arrow with black powder (I use grade FFFF, it burns easy)and then glue a shotshell primer into the hole left where the ferrule went. Next, glue a BB on the primer, and you are ready to go! Make sure no one is nearby.... Little shreds of aluminum go all over the place!! [*R.D.X.*] R.D.X., also called cyclonite, or composition C-1 (when mixed with plasticisers) is one of the most valuable of all military explosives. This is because it has more than 150% of the power of T.N.T., and is much easier to detonate. It should not be used alone, since it can be set off by a not-too severe shock. It is less sensitive than mercury fulminate, or nitroglycerine, but it is still too sensitive to be used alone. R.D.X. can be made by the surprisingly simple method outlined hereafter. It is much easier to make in the home than all other high explosives, with the possible exception of ammonium nitrate. MATERIALS EQUIPMENT hexamine 500 ml beaker methenamine glass stirring rod fuel tablets (50 g) funnel and filter paper concentrated nitric acid (550 ml) ice bath container distilled water (plastic bucket) table salt centigrade thermometer ice blue litmus paper ammonium nitrate 1) Place the beaker in the ice bath, (see section 3.13, steps 3-4) and carefully pour 550 ml of concentrated nitric acid into the beaker. 2) When the acid has cooled to below 20 degrees centigrade, add small amounts of the crushed fuel tablets to the beaker. The temperature will rise, and it must be kept below 30 degrees centigrade, or dire consequences could result. Stir the mixture. 3) Drop the temperature below zero degrees centigrade, either by adding more ice and salt to the old ice bath, or by creating a new ice bath. Or, ammonium nitrate could be added to the old ice bath, since it becomes cold when it is put in water. Continue stirring the mixture, keeping the temperature below zero degrees centigrade for at least twenty minutes 4) Pour the mixture into a litre of crushed ice. Shake and stir the mixture, and allow it to melt. Once it has melted, filter out the crystals, and dispose of the corrosive liquid. 5) Place the crystals into one half a litre of boiling distilled water. Filter the crystals, and test them with the blue litmus paper. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the litmus paper remains blue. This will make the crystals more stable and safe. 6) Store the crystals wet until ready for use. Allow them to dry completely using them. R.D.X. is not stable enough to use alone as an explosive. 7) Composition C-1 can be made by mixing 88.3% R.D.X. (by weight) with 11.1% mineral oil, and 0.6% lecithin. Kneed these material together in a plastic bag. This is a good way to desensitize the explosive. 8) H.M.X. is a mixture of T.N.T. and R.D.X.; the ratio is 50/50, by weight. it is not as sensitive, and is almost as powerful as straight R.D.X. 9) By adding ammonium nitrate to the crystals of R.D.X. after step 5, it should be possible to desensitize the R.D.X. and increase its power, since ammonium nitrate is very insensitive and powerful. Soduim or potassium nitrate could also be added; a small quantity is sufficient to stabilize the R.D.X. 10) R.D.X. detonates at a rate of 8550 meters/second when it is compressed to a density of 1.55 g/cubic cm. [*Spontanious Combustion*] Look for powdered aluminum at a good painting supply. METHOD # 1: Scatter out a few crystals 'of chromic anhydride. Drop on a little ethyl alcohol. It will burst into flame immediately. METHOD # 2: Mix by weight, four parts ammonium chloride, one part ammonium nitrate, four parts powered zinc. Pour out a small pile of this and make a depression on top. Put one or two drops of water in the depression.Stay well back from this. METHOD # 3: Put one gram of powdered potassium permanganate into a paper cup. Drop two drops of glycerine onto it. After a few seconds it will burst into flames. METHOD # 4: Spoon out a small pile of powdered aluminum. Place a small amount of sodium peroxide on top of this. A (volume the size of a small pea is about right. One drop of water will cause this to ignite in a blinding flare. METHOD # 5: Mix by volume 3 parts concentrated sulfuric acid with 2 parts concentrated nitric acid. Hold a dropper of turpentine about 2 feet above the mixture. When drops strike the acid they will burst into flame.

ONE TEASPOON HAS THE IMPACT POWER OF ONE M-100 FIRECRACKER. [ ] * AMMONIUM PICRATE * Ammonium picrate, also called Explosive D, is another safety explosive. It requires a substantial shock to cause it to detonate, slightly less than that required to detonate ammonium nitrate. It is much safer than picric acid, since it has little tendency to form hazardous unstable salts when placed in metal containers. It is simple to make from picric acid and clear household ammonia. All that need be done is put the picric acid crystals into a glass container and dissolve them in a great quantity of hot water. Add clear household ammonia in excess, and allow the excess ammonia to evaporate. The powder remaining should be ammonium picrate. [*Astrolite G*] "Astrolite G is a clear liquid explosive especially designed to produce very high detonation velocity, 8,600MPS (meters/sec.), compared with 7,700MPS for nitroglycerin and 6,900MPS for TNT...In addition, a very unusual characteristic is that it the liquid explosive has the ability to be absorbed easily into the ground while remaining detonatable...In field tests, Astrolite G has remained detonatable for 4 days in the ground, even when the soil was soaked due to rainy weather" know what that means?....Astrolite Dynamite! To make (mix in fairly large container & outside) Two parts by weight of ammonium nitrate mixed with one part by weight 'anhydrous' hydrazine, produces Astrolite G...Simple enough eh? I'm sure that the 2:1 ratio is not perfect,and that if you screw around with it long enough, that you'll find a better formula. Also, dunno why the book says 'anhydrous' hydrazine, hydrazine is already anhydrous... Hydrazine is the chemical you'll probably have the hardest time getting hold of. Uses for Hydrazine are: Rocket fuel, agricultural chemicals (maleic hydra- zide), drugs (antibacterial and antihypertension), polymerization catalyst, plating metals on glass and plastics, solder fluxes, photographic developers, diving equipment. Hydrazine is also the chemical you should be careful with. The astrolite family of liquid explosives were products of rocket propellant research in the '60's. Astrolite A-1-5 is supposed to be the world's most powerful non-nuclear explosive -at about 1.8 to 2 times more powerful than TNT. Being more powerful it is also safer to handle than TNT (not that it isn't safe in the first place) and Nitroglycerin. [*Astrolite A/A-1-5*] Ok, here's the good part... Mix 20% (weight) aluminum powder to the ammonium nitrate, and then mix with hydrazine. The aluminum powder should be 100 mesh or finer. Astrolite A has a detonation velocity of 7,800MPS. You should be careful not to get any of the astrolite on you,if it happens though, you should flush the area with water. Astrolite A&G both should be able to be detonated by a #8 blasting cap. [*Expedient Grenades*] There are many possibilities in the field of grenade manufacture, but for the most part, when you're dealing with grenades that must be constructed of easily available materials, the quality and the safety of the grenade is reduced dramatically. Here I will deal with this problem, trying to produce a reasonable type of grenade that is relatively safe, can be stored and transported easily, but produces dramatic effects. I strongly suggest that if you find it possible, you are far better off getting a REAL grenade than trying to produce one yourself, but you can be the judge. As always, I want to note that this is all for educational purposes only, and I do not recommend anyone trying any of the following for real. The first thing you need is explosives. If you can't get black powder, or gun powder, or make your own plastic explosives (we know there sure are enough text files floating around to explain how to make all of the above!) than you're really in a for making a grenade of this type. You'll also need a coffee can, a smaller sized can (probably like an orange juice can, or V8), a coat hanger, and a fuse. As for explosives, mercury fulminate is extremely good for this sort of thing. You could probably get together a ton of firecrackers and take out the black powder (if you'r desperate) or get a couple quarter sticks from someone. The explosive goes in the juice can. Don't pack it together too tight. Loose black powder is better than compressed. This is the main explosive. Cut up the coat hanger into little pieces approximately 1/2" long and fill up the coffee can until you can put the juice can in and the top of the juice can is level with the top of the coffee can. If you don't have the time, and need to fill up the space faster, chuck in a couple small rocks or pieces of glass, and stuff like that until you have the bottom of the can filled. Now place the juice can in the coffee can, and center it. Then fill the space around the coffee can with coat hanger stuff until the juice can is relatively stable. Put a model rocket fuse in the explosive in the juice can. Leave (at least) 3 1/2" to light from. If necessary, secure the juice can or the explosive with some masking tape, etc... as long as it doesn't interfere with the action of the grenade. Take the lid of the coffee can and cut a hole so that the fuse is exposed. You now have a fragmentation grenade. It might be a good idea to practice with a football for a while before trying to destroy the neighbor's garage with it. [*Explosive Pen*] Materials Needed 1] One Ball Point `Click` pen 2] Gun Powder 3] 8 or 10 match heads 4] 1 Match stick 5] a little sheet of sand paper (1 1/2" X 2") Procedure 1] Unscrew pen and remove all parts but leave the button in the to in the pen. 2] Stick the match stick in the part of the pen clicker where the other little parts and the ink fill was. 3] Roll sand paper up and put around the match stick that is in the clicker. 4] Put the remaining Match Heads inside the pen, make sure that they are on the inside on the sand paper. 5] Put a small piece of paper or something in the other end of the pen where the ball point comes out. 6] Fill the end with the piece of paper in it with gun powder. The paper is to keep the powder from spilling. (The Finished pen should look like this: Small Paper Clog Gun Powder Matches & Sandpaper \ | | \ | | \ _________________|____________________|________ <_______________________________|_______________|=== / Clicker / Planting The Device ------------------- There are many ways to use this little device. Here are a few of my favorite ways to use this handy little Anti-Personal-Device In School 1] Replace it with a friends pen, it helps if it is the same color Style. But if you get it there and he/she goes to write, watch the sparks fly! 2] You know how all these poor nigs are always asking you for a pen well this is the way to fix it! just give 'em this little pen and I gurantee they will never ask you for another pen again. 3] Replace the teachers pen with it. In The Office No Office experience, unless its the schools office, replace it with the principals or receptionist pens. They'll get a `bang` out of it! [*Fertilizer Bomb*] Materials: A bag of fertilizer Some Cotton Some Starter Fluid (etherous kind) Some Newspaper Fold the newspaper until its in sort of a pocket shape, then fill it up with fertilizer (not too much).. Next, put cotton on top of the fertilizer. Then, pour some starter fluid on it (the fertilizer), wrap up the newspaper (you can use tape). Now this isnt the kind of bomb you leave lying around for a couple days, as it drys out. When you want to use it, just light the edge of the newspaper and throw it. Pretty simple, eh? [*Filler explosive*] 85% sodium chlorate 10% vaseline 5% aluminum powder [*Fire Bomb*] Take carbon disulfide and dissolve white phosphorous in it. Put it in a stoppered bottle and throw it at something you would like to see on fire. When the cs2 evaporates, it leaves a film of phoshorous on what ever it hits, and it starts a fire with the solvent vapors. [*Grain-Elevator Explosion*] Want to try your own 'Grain-Elevator explosion'? Get a candle and some flour.. Light the candle and put some flour in your hand. Try various ways of getting the flour to leave your hand and become dust right over the candle flame. The enormous surface area allows all the tiny dust particles to burn, which they do at about the same time, combining to form a fireball effect. In grain elevators, much the same thing happens.if you can get your hands on some lycopodium powder. This will work much better, creating huge fireballs that are unexpected. [*Impact Mixture*] Materials: 50% red phosphorus 50% sodium chlorate Unlike potassium chlorate,sodium chlorate won't explode spontaneously when mixed with phosphorus. It has to be hit to be detonated. [*Incendiary Mixture*] Materials: 55% aluminum powder (atomized) 45% sodium chlorate 5% sulfur [*Gelatine Explosive from Anti-Freeze*] This explosive is almost the same as the nitro-gelatin plastique except that it is supple and pliable to -10 to -20 deg. C.. Antifreeze is easier to obtain than glycerine and is usually cheaper. It needs to be freed of water before the manufacture and this can be done by treating it with calcium chloride until a specific gravity of 1.12 @ o deg. C. or 1.11 @ 20 deg. C. is obtained. This can be done by adding calcium chloride to the antifreeze and checking with a hydrometer and continue to add calcium chloride proper reading is obtained. The antifreeze is then filtered to remove the calcium chloride from the liquid. This explosive is superior to nitro-gelatin in that it is easier to collidon the IMR smokeless powder into the explosive and that the 50/50 ether ethyl alcohol can be done away with. It is superior in that the formation of the collidon is done very rapidly by the nitroethelene glycol. It's detonation properties are practically the same as the nitro-gelatine. Like the nitro-gelatine it is highly flammable and if caught on fire the chances are good that the flame will progress to detonation. In this explosive as in nitro-gelatine the addition of 1% sodium carbonate is a good idea to reduce the chance of recidual acid being present in the final explosive. The following is a slightly different formula than nitro-gelatine: Nitro-glycol 75% Guncotton (IMR) 6% Potassium Nitrate 14% Flour (baking) 5% In this process the 50/50 step is omitted. Mix the potassium nitrate with the 9nitro-glycol. Remember that this nitro-glycol is just as sensitive to shock as is nitroglycerin. The next step is to mix in the flour and sodium carbonate. =Mix these by kneading with gloved hands until the mixture is uniform. This kneading should be done gently and slowly. The mixture should be uniform when <the IMR smokeless powder is added. Again this is kneaded to uniformity. Use this explosive as soon as possible. If it must be stored, store in a cool, dry Bplace (0-10 deg. C.). This explosive should detonate at 7600-7800 m/sec.. These two explosives are very powerful and should be sensitive to a #6 blasting cap @or equivelent. These explosives are dangerous and should not be made unless the manufacturer has had experience with this type compound. The foolish and ignorant may as well forget these explosives as they won't live to get to use them. Don't get me wrong, these explosives have been manufactured for years with an amazing record of safety. Millions of tons of nitroglycerine have been made and used to manufacture dynamite and explosives of this nature with very few mishaps. Nitroglycerin and nitroglycol will kill and their main victims are the stupid and foolhardy. Before manufacturing these explosives take nitroglycerin and soak into a small piece of filter paper and place it on an anvil. Hit this drop with a hammer and don't put any more on the anvil. See what I mean! This explosive compound is not to be taken lightly. If there are any doubts DON'T. [*Letter Bomb*] Letter bombs are very simple to make, but the difficult part is making sure it will detonate properly, or that it is not obvious that it is a bomb. About 75% Aluminum powder with 25% Iron power is best. This is a light version of Thermite, Since it is in an enclosed space (The envelope, as described below a ways). Mix the above well. The idea is this: Iron can burn, at a very high temperature, but it needs a little help. This is what the Aluminum is for. Aluminum burns at a relatively low temperature, so it is used as a catalyst of sorts. Magnesium is used to flash-ignite the Aluminum, which then burns the Iron, at a suitable temperature. Since this is going off in an enclosed space, it will burn much hotter and slower and with more violence than a normal mix. I advise you play with this for a while, learning your mixture. Now for the fun stuff: Get an insulated (padded) envelope, the type that is double layered. Seperate the layers. In the inner layer goes the wonderful mixture, once you are satisfied with. Keep this section seperate, but it might be good to top it off with some Magnesium. The outer layer can be either Magnesium, for a flash bomb, or possibly a material of your own choice. Now for the difficult part! The fuse... We can make a fuse from another set of chemicals: Iodine crystals, and Ammonium Hydroxide, in liquid form. Mix these together,in about and equal amount, but you might want to use a heavy amount of iodine if pressed for time. These form a new crystalline structure, about an inch long. These are highly volatile, and i advise keeping them protected. They have about the impact power of an M-100 for a teaspoon. I put these in a protective card-board lining, and put them at the top of the envelope. Rig this so it puts pressure on it. [*Match Explosive*] The word "safety" in safety matches is misleading. The chemical on the heads of safety matches is a powerful explosive. It is similar to black powder but has a lower ignition temperature (more sensative to heat) and unlike black powder is easily detonated by impact. This feature moves it up into the high explosives class. To test this, lay a paper safety match (on a hard flat surface and hit the head sharply with a hammer. What do you !know! It goes bang! To collect a 'quantity of this explosive, it is best to use wooden safety matches. Buy several cartons. They're cheap. Note that these should be safety matches, (not the strike anywhere kind. Pinch the head near the bottom with a pair of wire cutters to break it up; then use the edges of the cutters to scrape off &the loose material. It gets easy with practice. You can do this while watching TV and collect enough for a bomb without dieing of boredom. Once you have a good batch of it, you can load it into a pipe instead of black powder. Be careful not to get any in the threads, and wipe off any that gets on the end of the pipe. Never try to use this stuff for rocket fuel. A science teacher was killed that way. Just for fun while I'm on the subject of matches, did you know that you can strike a safety match on a window pane? Hold a paper match between your thumb and first finger. With your second (finger, press the head firmly against a large window. Very quickly, rub the match down the pane about 2 feet while maintaining the pressure. The friction will generate enough heat to light the match. Another fun trick is the match rocket. Tightly wrap the top half of a paper match with foil. Set it in the top of a pop bottle at a 45 degree angle. Hold a lighted match under the head until it ignites. If you got it right, the match will zip up and hit the ceiling. I just remembered the match guns I used to make when I was a kid. These are made from a bicycle spoke. At one end of the spoke is a piece that screws off. Take it off and screw it on backwards. You now have a piece of stiff wire with a small hollow tube on one end. Pack the material from a couple of wooden safety matches into the tube. Force the stem of a match into the hole. It sould fit very tightly. Hold a lighted match under the tube until it gets hot enough to ignite the powder. It goes off with a bang. [*Nitrogen Trichloride*] Nitrogen trichloride, also known as chloride of azode, is an oily yellow liquid. It explodes violently when it is heated above 60 degrees celsius, or when it comes in contact with an open flame or spark. It is fairly simple to produce. 1) In a beaker, dissolve about 5 teaspoons of ammonium nitrate in water. Do not put so much ammonium nitrate into the solution that some of it remains undissolved in the bottom of the beaker. 2) Collect a quantity of chlorine gas in a second beaker by mixing hydrochloric acid with potassium permanganate in a large flask with a stopper and glass 3) Place the beaker containing the chlorine gas upside down on top of the beaker containing the ammonium nitrate solution, and tape the beakers together. Gently heat the bottom beaker. When this is done, oily yellow droplets will begin to form on the surface of the solution, and sink down to the bottom. At this time, remove the heat source immediately. Alternately, the chlorine can be bubbled through the ammonium nitrate solution, rather than collecting the gas in a beaker, but this requires timing and a stand to hold the beaker and test tube. The chlorine gas can also be mixed with anhydrous ammonia gas, by gently heating a flask filled with clear household ammonia. Place the glass tubes from the chlorine-generating flask and the tube from the ammonia-generating flask in another flask that contains water. 4) Collect the yellow droplets with an eyedropper, and use them immediately, since nitrogen trichloride decomposes in 24 hours. [*Nitrostarch Explosives*] Nitrostarch explosives are simple to make, and are fairly powerful. All that need be done is treat various starches with a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids. 10 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid is added to 10 ml of concentrated nitric acid. To this mixture is added 0.5 grams of starch. Cold water is added, and the apparently unchanged nitrostarch is filtered out. Nitrostarch explosives are of slightly lower power than T.N.T., but they are more readily detonated. [ ] *GELLED FLAME FUELS* Gelled or paste type fuels are often preferable to raw gasoline for use in incendiary devices such as fire bottles. This type fuel adheres more readily to the target and produces greater heat concentration. Several methods are shown for gelling gasoline using commonly available materials. The methods are divided into the following categories based on the major ingredient: 1. Lye Systems 2. Lye-Alcohol Systems 3. Soap-Alcohol Systems 4. Egg White Systems 6. Wax Systems Lye Systems Lye (also know as caustic soda or Sodium Hydroxide) can be used in combination with powdered rosin or castor oil to gel gasoline for use as a flame fuel which will adhere to target surfaces.

Add this solution (1/2% by volume) to the gasoline wax mix and shake bottle until a gel forms. [ ] *Popping Combination Locks* Ever wish you could find out just what someone is hiding in that locker, or ever have some dumb, ignorant, brain dead, mother fucking, son of a bitch, cocksucking, bedwetting, jock change your lock on your locker? Here's one of those well kept secrets from the college dorms. How to open almost any black dial, master combination lock. Heaven forbid anyone find out that Master has made a big bo-bo, and thier prize product has an incredible flaw. For starters, let it be known that this technique has only been found to work on master combination locks with black dials. Master locks with red dials, and a couple other makes that look the same won't work with this algorithym. But, that's not to say that other types of locks can't be opened with a set algorithym, they just haven't been figured out yet. OK! You're in a locker room. No one's there. You think.."hmm, I sure could use a walkman". You breeze over to any locker (or one you know there's a walkman in) a slow turn here, a quick turn here, a real slow turn with a few tugs on the lock, and "chunk" it pops open. Sounds like ecstasy eh? Well it is. Step one: Find the first number The U bolt in the lock can and will move up and down minutely. If it doesn't even budge, then find a different lock. If you pull down on the lock, you will notice that the dial can't be moved. This is because there are about 36 "pits" and "ridges" inside the lock. Pull down hard on the lock. If you can wiggle the dial back and forth (just a little) then you are in a pit. If it doesn't move then you are on a ridge. If on a ridge, then let up on the lock just a tad (slowly) while trying to turn the dial. If you get it right, the bolt will slide out of the lock a little and you'll sink into a pit. Now you can wiggle the dial back and forth. When wiggling the dial, the things that keep you from rotating the dial any further are the ridges adjacent to pit. All that aside, let's find the first number. I've got my lock right here. Rotate the dial clockwise briskly a few turns to reset the 3 "tumblers" inside. Pull down on the lock and try to get it in a pit. Now, all the ridges are roughly about the same height except for the ridge that marks the first number of the combination. While pulling down on the lock, grab the knob on the dial and try to turn it clockwise. Of course it's not going to turn because you're in a pit, and you're pulling down on the lock. Let up slowly (very slowly as not to slip) while trying to turn the dial. If you're doing it right, the bolt will retract into the lock a little as you move from the pit to the top of the ridge. When you feel you are at the top of the ridge, start pulling down hard on the lock again. The bolt should come out of the lock a little and you'll be in the pit to the left of the pit you were just in. Wow, and that's not even what you're supposed to do. What you need to do is, when you are at the top of the ridge, try to hold the lock so instead of falling in a pit, you can turn the dial where you are just gliding over the ridges. Turn it slowly, and when when you pass over the ridge you are looking for, you will feel a clank, or you will feel a small bumb as you hit the side of the ridge. If you have turned the dial a full turn and have felt nothing then you aren't pulling down on the lock enough. Try it till you find. It is there somewhere. Now when you feel the bump, take the number that the little red arrow is pointing to and add five to that number, and that is the first number of the combination. YEAAAAAAAA! Step two: Finding the second number Now that you have the first number (hopefully) turn the dial briskly a few times to reset the tumblers again, and stop at the first number of the combination. Because you always have to turn the dial past the first number before you turn it to the second number, turn the dial counter clockwise and stop at the first number of the combination again (make sure it's only one turn!). Find the first pit either on the number you just turned to or just to the right of it. When you are in the pit, wiggle the dial. The trick here is to find the pit that let's you wiggle the dial the least. Hence the 'stiffest' pit. If you think that that pit is too loose. Let up on the lock a little and let it fall in the pit to the right. (turning the dial counter-clockwise) If that pit is too loose then go on to the next on. This is the hardest part and takes a lot of practice. But when you find the right pit it will fell.....hmmm....tight. It's hard to explain but you should know it when you feel it. The number that the little arrow is pointing to is the second number! You're almost there. Combo Number 3! Let up on the lock a little and try to get over the ridge to the left of the second number. When you get over it. Pull down hard. If the lock doesn't pop open, then go on to the next ridge. IF you got the first two numbers right, then it should eventually pop open. If you have gone around the dial a full turn and it still hasn't opened, then start ALL over because you got one of the first two numbers wrong. Don't get discouraged, it can be done! With a little practice you will be able to open most locks in under a minute. Some locks are hard to 'feel' and take a little longer. Ok I admit, there have been some locks I've tried that are almost impossible. The best place to practice is of course in a locker room. If you can't get the first one open, go on to the next. You'll eventually get one. Happy treasure hunting! [ ] *Pastic Explosive Filler* A plastic explosive filler can be made from potassium chlorate and petroleum jelly. This explosive can be detonated withcommercial #8 or any military blasting cap. MaterialRequired How Used ----------------- -------- Potassiumchlorate Medicine Manufacture of matches PetroleumJelly Medicine Lubricant Stirringutensil Widebowl Procedure --------- 1.Spread potassium chlorate crystals thinly on a hard surface and pulverize them with a hard object. Crush into a fine powder until it looks like wheat flour. 2.Place 9 parts powdered potassium chlorate and 1 part petroleum jelly in a wide bowl or similar container. Mix ingredients with hands(knead) until a uniform paste is obtained. 3.Store explosive in a waterproof container until ready for use. This simple procedure for plastic explosive works. A slight difficulty lies in initiating the explosion. This explosive requires significant activation energy.

Hi gun lovers! Heres a nice little instructional file to help all you would be machine gun enthusists out there to get your hands on a nice fully automatic weapon for home defense, hunting, etc. Ok, down to buisness, heres what you'll need: 1- Semi-auto gun (most preferably a semi-auto version of a submachinegun, the Mac-10 is ideal and the instructions are based on that model, you may have to experiment with other guns...) 1- Set of tools that you use to completely strip your weapon (usually just a few screwdrivers) 1- Hacksaw 1- Electric grinder or hand metal files (OPTIONAL) 1- Power Drill 1- Gun bluing kit (OPTIONAL) 1- Diagram (bluprint) of the gun internal workings (optional but helps alot for you dudes who dont know a disconnector from a trigger sear) Ok, now to the fun shit. Strip the weapon apart and get the lower receiver (the piece with the trigger and shit attached). Method 1 to make the gun full-auto is modifying the trip. First, identify which part is the trip. If your looking at the top of the gun, with the rear of the gun pointed toward you, the trip is the piece sticking up from around the first cross bar. If its taken out its shaped like this: * ##### %%%% ############ %%%%%% ################ #%%%%% ############## ### ###%%% * ############## ######### ############### ######### ################ ########### ###### ################## #### ################## ### ################# # ## ############# ##### (sORRY FOR THE CRUDENESS OF THE DIAGRAM, THERE AINT A HELL OF ALOT YOU CAN DO WITH ascii GRAPHICS) nOW YOU HAVE TO CUT OR GRIND AWAY ABOUT HALF THE UPPER CONTACT LOBE OF THE TRIP. tHE UPPER CONTACT LOBE IS THE THINNER BIT OF IT STICKING UP THAT CONTACTS THE UPPER RECEIVER (THE PART DEPICTED BY THE % SYMBOL ON MY SHITTY DIAGRAM). cUT AT AN ANGLE PARALLEL TO THE LOWER EDGE OF THE LOBE (CONNECT THE DOTS FROM THE ASTERIXES i PUT ON THE PICTURE AND CUT ON THE DOTTED LINE...) rEASSEMBLE AND viola!!! iT'S HOSIN' TIME!! wARNING: YOUR GUN IS NOW FULLY AUTOMATIC (FULL AUTO only, NO SEMI AUTO AT ALL) AND VIOLATES A SHITLOAD OF VARIOS STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS... IF YOU GET CAUGHT YOUR SHIT OUTTA LUCK BECAUSE THE UPPER CONTACT LOBE JUST DOESNT DEMATERIALIZE... WHAT IF YOUR OUT THERE SAYING "tHERES THIS PIECE OF METAL WELDED ON THE LOWER RECEIVER THINGIE STOPPING ME FROM TAKING THE PARTS OUT!!!" wELL MY FREINDS, THAT IS WHATS CALLED THE SEMI-AUTOMATIC CARRIAGE. iTS PUT THERE BY OUR BUDDIES AT THE FIREARM AND TOBBACO OFFICE IN d.c. tHIS NUISANCE IS EASILY REMOVED BY DRILLING OUT THE WELDS ON THE LOWER RECEIVER AND PULLING IT OUT (dONT DRILL ALL THE WAY THRU THE LOWER RECEIVER THOUGH, LOTS OF LITTLE HOLES THROUGH THE GUN LOOK LIKE SHIT AND MAY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE) oK, METHOD 2 OF THE DO-IT-YOURSELF RAMBOMATIC ADJUSTABLE KILLING DEVICES (tm): dISCONNECTOR MODIFICATION. tHE DISCONNECTOR IS THE PIECE JUST IN FRONT OF THE TRIP WITH THE LITTLE BAR STICKING OUT THAT THE TRIP SLAMS AGAINST. lOOKS LIKE THIS: (OH NO, NOT ANOTHER ascii DIAGRAM.. fRONT vIEW + sIDE vIEW + ## * + ##### ##%%%v%%%%%%%%%%% + ########## ##%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + ########### ## * + ######## ## + #### ## + ###### ## + ######### ## + ############ ## + ######### ## ## + ######## # ## + ######### ## ## + #### #### ## ## + #### ###### oK, HERES WHAT YA DO: cUT THE BAR OFF FAR ENOUGH SO THAT THE TRIP CAN'T MAKE CONTACT WITH IT. (USUALLY ABOUT 1/3 OF THE LENGTH FROM THE FREE EDGE). aS BEFORE CUT FROM THE ASTERIXES... aLSO, MAKE A SMALL NOTCH ABOUT MID- CENTER OF WHATS LEFT OF THE BAR FOR THE TRIGGER SPRING (THAT LITTLE ANNOYING WIRE THATS PROBLY BEEN GETTING IN YOUR WAY) TO REST IN SO IT DOESN'T SLIDE OFF THE SHORTENED DISCONNECTOR BAR. rEASSEMBLE AND YOU ARE NOW THE PROUD OWNER OF A 9MM SWISS CHEESE MAKER. iF YOUR CAUGHT BY THE FEDS YOU MAY BE ABLE TO CONVINCE THEM THE GUN "BROKE" BUT DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH. tips and hints: 1) aLWAYS FIND A PLACE TO SAFELY TEST YOUR GUN TO MAKE SURE THE MODIFICATIONS WORKED. pREFERABLY SOMEWHERE FAR FAR AWAY FROM SPECTATORS. iF IT didn't WORK THEN MAYBE YOU DIDN'T FILE OFF ENOUGH OF THE TRIP OR THE DISCONNECTOR BAR.. EXPERIMENT! 2) fOR LONGER WEAPON LIFE, FINISH THE EXPOSED EDGES LEFT BY CUTTING, GRINDING, DRILLING ETC. WITH GUN BLUING. tHIS PREVENTS RUSTING AND CORROSION. 3) iF YOU PLAN ON BULLSHITTING A COP THAT CATCHES YOU (i DON'T ENVY YOU) don't FINISH THE WEAPON WITH BLUING. tHE GUN MAY HAVE BROKE, BUT UZIS DON'T COAT THEMSELVES WITH PROTECTIVE FINISH.... 4) gETTING (OR FINDING OUT WHERE YOU CAN GET) SPARE PIECES FOR THE GUN IN CASE YOU SCREW UP AND/OR WANT TO MAKE YOUR GUN LEGAL AGAIN SOMETIMES IS A VERY GOOD IDEA. 5) hAVE FUN!!! [ ] * How to make a "Shotgun grenade" * The stuff that you need is this... 1. Used Shotgun shell...most anygauge....but 12 gauge is better.... 2. Some gunpowder... 3. A fuse....Water proof fuses are better... 4. Some Elemers glue (Note: Use the stuff that dries clear...) Ok after you have gotten all of that stuff you are ready to make one! First step...Push the primer out with a 2 point screwdriver...(Phil. Head) then throw the primer away and put the fuse through the hole...put some glue in the hole to hold the fuse...let glue dry..... Next step...pour gunpowder into the empty shell.... next step...pour glue into the rest of the last part of the shell...let glue dry....then....**BOOM** Enjoy! Note: These bombs are very dangerous and could easily kill you...just watch yourself..also to make them more deadly...get some tape and some nails and take the nails to the sides of the shell...and run like hell! if this thing goes off....one of those nails could easily go through you.....Enjoy! [ ] *How to make an "Apple bomb"* Well this bomb is *Extreamly* dangerous we suggest you use a long fuse... You will have fun with this one...... this one could easily destroy a car... so watch out.... Supplies.... 1. Applesause jar... 2. Gun powder.... 3. REALLY long fuse... 4. Nails for Anti-personel use.... Get a Apple sause jar and fill it with gun powder..... Put a hole in the top of the cap.....Put the fuse through the cap and put a drop of glue so to make it stay...if you want to waste a ton of shit by schrapnel then tape nalis to the side of the GLASS jar....If explosion dont get them the glass will...If the glass dont get them the NAILS will.........I really suggest you use a long fuse..(Water proof) and run like hell...becuase I know what these babys can do! Drop one in a pond and run and after it explodes go back and collect the dead fish...Well enjoy this one! [ ] *CARBIDE BOMB* OBTAIN SOME CALCIUM CARBIDE. THIS IS THE STUFF THAT IS USED IN CARBIDE LAMPS AND CAN BE FOUND AT NEARLY ANY HARDWARE STORE. TAKE A FEW PIECES OF THIS STUFF (IT LOOKS LIKE GRAVEL) AND PUT IT IN A GLASS JAR WITH SOME WATER. PUT A LID ON TIGHTLY. THE CARBIDE WILL REACT WITH THE WATER TO PRODUCE ACEDYLENE CARBONATE WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE GAS USED IN CUTTING TORCHES. EVENTUALLY THE GLASS WITH EXPLODE FROM INTERNAL PRESSURE. IF YOU LEAVE A BURNING RAG NEARBY, YOU WILL GET A NICE FIREBALL! [ ] *AUTO EXHAUST FLAME THROWER* FOR THIS ONE, ALL YOU NEED IS A CAR, A SPARK PLUG, SOME IGNITION WIRE AND A SWITCH. INSTALL THE SPARK PLUG INTO THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE INCHES OF THE TAILPIPE BY DRILLING A HOLE THAT THE PLUG CAN SCREW INTO EASILY. I RECCOMEND INSTALLING THE SWITCH IN THE GLOVE-COMPARTMENT, WAY OUT OF REACH, BUT IT IS NOT NECCESARY. ATTACH THE WIRE TO ONE SIDE OF THE SWITCH AND TO THE SPARK PLUG. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SWITCH IS ATTACHED TO THE POSITIVE TERMINAL ON THE BATTERY. WITH THE CAR RUNNING, SIMPLY HIT THE SWITCH AND WATCH THE FLAMES FLY!!! NOTE: BE CAREFUL THAT NO ONE IS BEHIND YOU. I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THESE FLAMES GO 20 FEET!!! [ ] * Gerbil Feed Bomb* The infamous... GERBIL FEED BOMB Striking fear into the hearts of model citizens everywhere... Grudge against society? Seeking mass destruction & bloodshed? Look no further... Follow these simple directions for nihilism absolute... 1. Get some Gerbil Feed, or some other type of small rodent food, available at most any pet store. 2. Mash up the food pellets into a fine powder (about the consistancy of beach sand). The best way to do this is to put the pellets in a bag, and then beat the hell out of those bitches (pretend like they're Nancy Reagan for more fun!) with a hammer. If you live near a major highway, you can just scatter them around, and then come by later with a shovel. 3. Put this powder into a jar (Jiff Peanut Butter jars work best, but Peter Pan will do just fine). Get some model glue, the kind in tubes, and squirt out a bunch of it into your hand. Spread it out evenly over all your fingers, and then stick your hands into the jar. Move your hands around a lot in the jar so that the glue is well mixed with the powder. Go into a spasm, this should shake all the glue off your hands. 4. Fill the rest of the jar up with gasoline(available at most any gas station.) 5. Put a long fuse into it. If you're brave (and a bit stupid), you can just drop a match into it. 6. Light the fuse if you put one in. If you dropped a match into it, then go to the nearest phone, dial "911" and tell the nice people that you have a large number of glass shards embedded in your lower body. An ambulance should be there soon. 7. If you do not have glass shards in your body yet, just run VERY, VERY fast, scream "incoming!" at the top of your lungs, and then "hit the dirt!" This should attract all the neighbor's attention, so they too will get to witness this spectacular event. 8. There! You've done it! When the police car comes to your house, tell the nice police officers that a K.G.B. agent leaped out of a tree, and threw a hand grenade at you. Of course they will be kind and understanding being their job to "protect and serve." The police are your friends! 9. Repeat for everything you want to slice, dice, chop, or mutilate. Or just plain destroy, it doesn't really matter. Be sure to have a spare change of clothes handy... [ ] PYRODEX Pyrodex is a synthetic powder that is used like black powder. It comes in the same grades, but it is more expensive per pound. However, a one pound container of pyrodex contains more material by volume than a pound of black powder. It is much easier to crush to a very fine powder than black powder, and it is considerably safer and more reliable. This is because it will not be set off by static electricity, as black can be, and it is less inclined to absorb moisture. It costs about $10.00 per pound. It can be crushed in the same manner as black powder, or it can be dissolved in boiling water and dried. 2.04 RIFLE/SHOTGUN POWDER Rifle powder and shotgun powder are really the same from a practicle standpoint. They are both nitrocellulose based propellants. They will be referred to as gunpowder in all future references. Gunpowder is made by the action of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acid upon cotton. This material is then dissolved by solvents and then reformed in the desired grain size. When dealing with gunpowder, the grain size is not nearly as important as that of black powder. Both large and small grained gunpowder burn fairly slowly compared to black powder when unconfined, but when it is confined, gunpowder burns both hotter and with more gaseous expansion, producing more pressure. Therefore, the grinding process that is often necessary for other propellants is not necessary for gunpowder. Gunpowder costs about $9.00 per pound. Any idiot can buy it, since there are no restrictions on rifles or shotguns in the U.S. 2.05 FLASH POWDER Flash powder is a mixture of powdered zirconium metal and various oxidizers. It is extremely sensitive to heat or sparks, and should be treated with more care than black powder, with which it should NEVER be mixed. It is sold in small containers which must be mixed and shaken before use. It is very finely powdered, and is available in three speeds: fast, medium, and slow. The fast flash powder is the best for using in explosives or detonators. It burns very rapidly, regardless of confinement or packing, with a hot white "flash", hence its name. It is fairly expensive, costing about $11.00. It is sold in magic shops and theatre supply stores. [ ] AMMONIUM NITRATE Ammonium nitrate is a high explosive material that is often used as a commercial "safety explosive" It is very stable, and is difficult to ignite with a match. It will only light if the glowing, red-hot part of a match is touching it. It is also difficult to detonate; (the phenomenon of detonation will be explained later) it requires a large shockwave to cause it to go high explosive. Commercially, it is sometimes mixed with a small amount of nitroglycerine to increase its sensitivity. Ammonium nitrate is used in the "Cold-Paks" or "Instant Cold", available in most drug stores. The "Cold Paks" consist of a bag of water, surrounded by a second plastic bag containing the ammonium nitrate. To get the ammonium nitrate, simply cut off the top of the outside bag, remove the plastic bag of water, and save the ammonium nitrate in a well sealed, airtight container, since it is rather hydroscopic, i.e. it tends to absorb water from the air. It is also the main ingredient in many fertilizers. Ammonium nitrate is a very powerful but insensitive high-order explosive. It could be made very easily by pouring nitric acid into a large flask in an ice bath. Then, by simply pouring household ammonia into the flask and running away, ammonium nitrate would be formed. After the materials have stopped reacting, one would simply have to leave the solution in a warm place until all of the water and any unneutralized ammonia or acid have evaporated. There would be a fine powder formed, which would be ammonium nitrate. It must be kept in an airtight container, because of its tendency to pick up water from the air. The crystals formed in the above process would have to be heated VERY gently to drive off the remaining water. AMMONIUM NITRATE Ammonium nitrate could be made by a terrorist or it could be stolen from a construction site, since it is usually used in blasting, because it is very stable and insensitive to shock and heat. A terrorist could also buy several Instant Cold-Paks from a drug store or medical supply store. The major disadvantage with ammonium nitrate, from a terrorist's point of view, would be detonating it. A rather powerful priming charge must be used, and usually with a booster charge. The diagram below will explain. _________________________________________ | | | ________| | | | | T.N.T.| ammonium nitrate | |primer |booster| | |_______| | | | | | |_______|_______________________________| The primer explodes, detonating the T.N.T., which detonates, sending a tremendous shockwave through the ammonium nitrate, detonating it. 2.1 ACQUIRING CHEMICALS The first section deals with getting chemicals legally. This section deals with "procuring" them. The best place to steal chemicals is a college. Many state schools have all of their chemicals out on the shelves in the labs, and more in their chemical stockrooms. Evening is the best time to enter lab buildings, as there are the least number of people in the buildings, and most of the labs will still be unlocked. One simply takes a bookbag, wears a dress shirt and jeans, and tries to resemble a college freshman. If anyone asks what such a person is doing, the thief can simply say that he is looking for the polymer chemistry lab, or some other chemistry-related department other than the one they are in. One can usually find out where the various labs and departments in a building are by calling the university. There are, of course other techniques for getting into labs after hours, such as placing a piece of cardboard in the latch of an unused door, such as a back exit. Then, all one needs to do is come back at a later hour. Also, before this is done, terrorists check for security systems. If one just walks into a lab, even if there is someone there, and walks out the back exit, and slip the cardboard in the latch before the door closes, the person in the lab will never know what happened. It is also a good idea to observe the building that one plans to rob at the time that one plans to rob it several days before the actual theft is done. This is advisable since the would-be thief should know when and if the campus security makes patrols through buildings. Of course, if none of these methods are successful, there is always section 2.11, but as a rule, college campus security is pretty poor, and nobody suspects another person in the building of doing anything wrong, even if they are there at an odd hour. 2.11 TECHNIQUES FOR PICKING LOCKS If it becomes necessary to pick a lock to enter a lab, the world's most effective lockpick is dynamite, followed by a sledgehammer. There are unfortunately, problems with noise and excess structural damage with these methods. The next best thing, however, is a set of army issue lockpicks. These, unfortunately, are difficult to acquire. If the door to a lab is locked, but the deadbolt is not engaged, then there are other possibilities. The rule here is: if one can see the latch, one can open the door. There are several devices which facilitate freeing the latch from its hole in the wall. Dental tools, stiff wire ( 20 gauge ), specially bent aluminum from cans, thin pocket- knives, and credit cards are the tools of the trade. The way that all these tools and devices are uses is similar: pull, push, or otherwise move the latch out of its hole in the wall, and pull the door open. This is done by sliding whatever tool that you are using behind the latch, and pulling the latch out from the wall. To make an aluminum-can lockpick, terrorists can use an aluminum can and carefully cut off the can top and bottom. Cut off the cans' ragged ends. Then, cut the open-ended cylinder so that it can be flattened out into a single long rectangle. This should then be cut into inch wide strips. Fold the strips in 1/4 inch increments (1). One will have a long quadruple-thick 1/4 inch wide strip of aluminum. This should be folded into an L-shape, a J-shape, or a U-shape. This is done by folding. The pieces would look like this: (1) _________________________________________________________ v 1/4 |_______________________________________________________| | 1/4 |_______________________________________________________| | 1 inch 1/4 |_______________________________________________________| | 1/4 |_______________________________________________________| | ^ Fold along lines to make a single quadruple-thick piece of aluminum. This should then be folded to produce an L,J,or U shaped device that looks like this: __________________________________________ / ________________________________________| | | | | L-shaped | | | | |_| _____________________________ / ___________________________| | | | | J-shaped | | | |________ \________| _____________________ / ___________________| | | | | | | U-shaped | | | |____________________ \____________________| All of these devices should be used to hook the latch of a door and pull the latch out of its hole. The folds in the lockpicks will be between the door and the wall, and so the device will not unfold, if it is made properly. MASTER COMBINATION LOCKS Almost all combination locks, including safe locks, operate on the same basic principle. The dial is turned to a preselected series of numbers that line up the unlocking mechanism and allow the lock to open. People always lose the combinations for these locks. If you have a thorough knowledge of the construction of this type of lock you can usually open them quite easily and determine the combination. There are four methods commonly used to open combination locks, I will briefly discuss all four. The first method is called manipulation, which is a highly skilled field of locksmithng that ver few are able to master. Safe and combination lock manipulation is a specialized field of the locksmith trade. The type of locks that you will usually run into are the cheap inexpensive ones which aren't worth the time to manipulate. Generally manipulation is not even a last resort; generally manipulation is always ignored. A common method of opening is to drill a small hole in the case to trip the locking mechanism, or read the combination. Some locks can be opened by rapping the case with a soft face hammer or wooden mallet. Others can be opened by codes, but only if you have a code book. I highly suggest buying a master padlock and peeling the back cover off of it to reveal the internal mechanisms. You should be able to identify: the shackle, locking pawl, locking dog, and three tumbler gates. Each manufacturer will have some variation of the actual construction, however, they all operate in almost the same manner. DRILLING Drill a hole approximately 1/16" in diameter. To find out approximately where to drill, draw a line for the 'M' in Master on the back of the lock. A straight line for the edge, through the 'M', and just missing the '.' in WIS on the other side. Now once you have the holw drilled, take a pen light, and look in and read the tumblers. Through the hole you should be able to see the locking pawl and the tumbler gates. Line the tumbler gates up with the locking pawl. Do this by first clearing the lock by turning the dial knob at least two turns to the right, or clockwise as you face the front side. Holding the lock in your left hand, continue turning the dial clockwise slowly, and look through the hole you drilled in the back. Now stop turning the dial when the gate of the first tumbler lines up with the pawl. Now slowly turn the dial in the opposite direction, notice the #2 or middle tumbler, does not move at first. After one revolution, it will begin to turn. Continue turning slowly until the gate of the #2 tumbler lines up perfectly with the gate of the first tumbler. Next, reverse the dial rotation and slowly turn it clockwise until the gate of the #3 tumbler lines up with the gates of the #1 and #2 tumblers. Now pull out on the shackle and the lock will open if you line up the three tumblers properly. RAPPING Sometimes you can open these locks by rapping them open by hitting them with a soft face hammer or wooden mallet. A sudden blow on the opposite side of the locking dog will sometimes depress the locking spring and release the dog, allowing the shackle to come out. DRILLING METHOD #2 (MASTER) On the back right hand side of the lock, draw a 3/8" line down from where the shackle meets the lock case(inside of loop, not outside!), then draw and 3/8" line at a 90 degree angle to that one. Now, if you have drawn your lines right, you should be able to drill right next to your pin-point created by the lines. NOTE: This will destroy the lock, but it is a fail safe method of opening and opening it fast. CLOSING I have seen many small files on the Master combination lock, but all of them usually talked about the manipulation method. Hopefully some of you out there will read this file and realize that these methods really work. This file may be destributed freely, but please don't re-write it and take credit for it when you don't have any solid facts to back up the fact that you wrote it. -------------------------- Automotive Locking Systems -------------------------- Automotive locks vary considerably in the types of locking mechanisms and lock arrangements. There are many other methods of gaining access to an automobile which are quite often quicker and easier than attempting to pick the lock. Probably the most common point of entry is the wing or vent window, or, in the newer models, the rubber molding. Anyone intending to engage in automobile lock work (or desiring to save approximately fifty dollars or more in service calls) will need some special tools. Both the curve and length of tools are important to their overall effectiveness. The tool being used should first be lubricated with a glycerine-based hand lotion or hand cleaner before inserting it through the weatherstripping. This not only makes the tools work easier, but helps prevent scarring, tearing or any other damage to the weatherstripping. To open most front wing windows, take the lever latch tool and insert it through the weatherstripping between the wing window and the window trim. Manipulate the tool by controlling the depth of penetration along the curve. At the same time use a rocking action to move the window lock into the unlocked position. One other type of wing window lock has a lever latch equipped with a plunger at the pivot of the latch. The plunger deadlocks the latch against rotation, unless the plunger is first pushed in and held until the initial stage of rotation has been accomplished. This requires that another tool be inserted through the weatherstripping and the door window to depress the plunger and hold it in that position while the other tool is used to rotate the latch. Normally, the tool used for depressing the deadlocking plunger has a slight curve at the tip. The tool's only purpose is to depress the plunger. Another means of access, when the door window is fully raised and the door is locked, consists of inserting a stiff bent wire, and using it directly on the locking mechanism. Tripping of the lock mechanism may often be done by pulling up on the wire once the tip of the wire has been positioned under the lock linkage. At other times, the bent tip of the wire must be pulled up against the linkage and then rotated to trip the locking mechanism. With practice one gets the feel of what is required to open the door. Automobiles using a rocker type of locking mechanism may be tripped by using a thin piece of flat spring steel stock. First, coat the tool with a glycerine-based hand lotion or hand cleaner to protect the trim and rubber molding. Insert the tool next to the glass or between the weatherstripping/molding and the metal of the door. Feel for the lock linkage with the notched end of the tool, then move the linkage up and down until the lock moves into the unlocked position. Another avenue of access to most automobiles is through the firewall, reaching the door locks with a long stiff wire to push the lock button into the unlocked position. Since automobile door locks on most newer models are normally held in place by a retainer clip, as a last resort the lock can be punched out. First, insert a bent piece of wire into the keyway and bind it to prevent the lock mechanism from falling into the door frame. Once out, the automobile can be opened by pushing up on the linkage attached to the lock mechanism. PIPE OR "ZIP" GUNS ------------------ Commonly known as "zip" guns, guns made from pipe have been used for years by juvenile punks. Today's Militants make them just for the hell of it or to shoot once in an assassination or riot and throw away if there is any danger of apprehension. They can be used many times but with some, a length of dowel is needed to force out the spent shell. There are many variations but the illustration shows the basic design. First, a wooden stock is made and a groove is cut for the barrel to rest in. The barrel is then taped securely to the stock with a good, strong tape. The trigger is made from galvanized tin. A slot is punched in the trigger flap to hold a roofing, which is wired or soldered onto the flap. The trigger is bent and nailed to the stock on both sides. The pipe is a short length of one-quarter inch steel gas or water pipe with a bore that fits in a cartridge, yet keeps the cartridge rim from passing through the pipe. The cartridge is put in the pipe and the cap, with a hole bored through it, is screwed on. Then the trigger is slowly released to let the nail pass through the hole and rest on the primer. To fire, the trigger is pulled back with the left hand and held back with the thumb of the right hand. The gun is then aimed and the thumb releases the trigger and the thing actually fires. Pipes of different lengths and diameters are found in any hardware store. All caliber bullets, from the .22 to the .45 are used in such guns. Some zip guns are made from two or three pipes nested within each other. For instance, a .22 shell will fit snugly into a length of a car's copper gas line. Unfortunatey, the copper is too weak to withstand the pressure of the firing. So the length of gas line is spread with glue and pushed into a wider length of pipe. This is spread with glue and pushed into a length of steel pipe with threads and a cap. Using this method, you can accomodate any cartridge, even a rifle shell. The first size of pipe for a rifle shell accomodates the bullet. The second accomodates its wider powder chamber. A 12-gauge shotgun can be made from a 3/4 inch steel pipe. If you want to comply with the gun laws, the barrel should be at least eighteen inches long. Its firing mechanism is the same as that for the pistol. It naturally has a longer stock and its handle is lengthened into a rifle butt. Also, a small nail is driven half way into each side of the stock about four inches in the front of the trigger. The rubber band is put over one nail and brought around the trigger and snagged over the other nail. In case you actually make a zip gun, you should test it before firing it by hand. This is done by first tying the gun to a tree or post, pointed to where it will do no damage. Then a string is tied to the trigger and you go off several yards. The string is then pulled back and let go. If the barrel does not blow up, the gun is safe to fire by hand. You should not attempt to register such a gun.

Nail nail hole here notes: * ethyl alcohol is mixed with methyl alcohol when it is used as a solvent. Methyl alcohol is very poisonous. Solvent alcohol must be at least 95% ethyl alcohol if it is used to make mercury fulminate. Methyl alcohol may prevent mercury fulminate from forming. + Ammonia, when bought in stores comes in a variety of forms. The pine and cloudy ammonias should not be bought; only the clear ammonia should be used to make ammonium triiodide crystals. @ Mercury thermometers are becoming a rarity, unfortunately. They may be hard to find in most stores. Mercury is also used in mercury switches, which are available at electronics stores. Mercury is a hazardous substance, and should be kept in the thermometer or mercury switch until used. It gives off mercury vapors which will cause brain damage if inhaled. For this reason, it is a good idea not to spill mercury, and to always use it outdoors. Also, do not get it in an open cut; rubber gloves will help prevent this. ^ Nitric acid is very difficult to find nowadays. It is usually stolen by bomb makers, or made by the process described in a later section. A desired concentration for making explosives about 70%. & The iodine sold in drug stores is usually not the pure crystaline form that is desired for producing ammonium triiodide crystals. To obtain the pure form, it must usually be acquired by a doctor's prescription, but this can be expensive. Once again, theft is the means that terrorists result to. 2.31 NITRIC ACID There are several ways to make this most essential of all acids for explosives. One method by which it could be made will be presented. Materials: Equipment: sodium nitrate or adjustable heat source potassium nitrate retort distilled water ice bath concentrated sulfuric acid stirring rod collecting flask with stopper 1) Pour 32 milliliters of concentrated sulfuric acid into the retort. 2) Carefully weigh out 58 grams of sodium nitrate, or 68 grams of potassium nitrate. and add this to the acid slowly. If it all does not dissolve, carefully stir the solution with a glass rod until it does. 3) Place the open end of the retort into the collecting flask, and place the collecting flask in the ice bath. 4) Begin heating the retort, using low heat. Continue heating until liquid begins to come out of the end of the retort. The liquid that forms is nitric acid. Heat until the precipitate in the bottom of the retort is almost dry, or until no more nitric acid is forming. CAUTION: If the acid is headed too strongly, the nitric acid will decompose as soon as it is formed. This can result in the production of highly flammable and toxic gasses that may explode. It is a good idea to set the above apparatus up, and then get away from it. Potassium nitrate could also be obtained from store-bought black powder, simply by dissolving black powder in boiling water and filtering out the sulfur and charcoal. To obtain 68 g of potassium nitrate, it would be necessary to dissolve about 90 g of black powder in about one litre of boiling water. Filter the dissolved solution through filter paper in a funnel into a jar until the liquid that pours through is clear. The charcoal and sulfur in black powder are insoluble in water, and so when the solution of water is allowed to evaporate, potassium nitrate will be left in the jar. 3.01 EXPLOSIVE THEORY An explosive is any material that, when ignited by heat or shock, undergoes rapid decomposition or oxidation. This process releases energy that is stored in the material in the form of heat and light, or by breaking down into gaseous compounds that occupy a much larger volume that the original piece of material. Because this expansion is very rapid, large volumes of air are displaced by the expanding gasses. This expansion occurs at a speed greater than the speed of sound, and so a sonic boom occurs. This explains the mechanics behind an explosion. Explosives occur in several forms: high-order explosives which detonate, low order explosives, which burn, and primers, which may do both. High order explosives detonate. A detonation occurs only in a high order explosive. Detonations are usually incurred by a shockwave that passes through a block of the high explosive material. The shockwave breaks apart the molecular bonds between the atoms of the substance, at a rate approximately equal to the speed of sound traveling through that material. In a high explosive, the fuel and oxodizer are chemically bonded, and the shockwave breaks apart these bonds, and re-combines the two materials to produce mostly gasses. T.N.T., ammonium nitrate, and R.D.X. are examples of high order explosives. Low order explosives do not detonate; they burn, or undergo oxidation. when heated, the fuel(s) and oxodizer(s) combine to produce heat, light, and gaseous products. Some low order materials burn at about the same speed under pressure as they do in the open, such as blackpowder. Others, such as gunpowder, which is correctly called nitrocellulose, burn much faster and hotter when they are in a confined space, such as the barrel of a firearm; they usually burn much slower than blackpowder when they are ignited in unpressurized conditions. Black powder, nitrocellulose, and flash powder are good examples of low order explosives. Primers are peculiarities to the explosive field. Some of them, such as mercury filminate, will function as a low or high order explosive. They are usually more sensitive to friction, heat, or shock, than the high or low explosives. Most primers perform like a high order explosive, except that they are much more sensitive. Still others merely burn, but when they are confined, they burn at a great rate and with a large expansion of gasses and a shockwave. Primers are usually used in a small amount to initiate, or cause to decompose, a high order explosive, as in an artillery shell. But, they are also frequently used to ignite a low order explosive; the gunpowder in a bullet is ignited by the detonation of its primer. 3.1 IMPACT EXPLOSIVES Impact explosives are often used as primers. Of the ones discussed here, only mercury fulminate and nitroglycerine are real explosives; Ammonium triiodide crystals decompose upon impact, but they release little heat and no light. Impact explosives are always treated with the greatest care, and even the stupidest anarchist never stores them near any high or low explosives. 3.11 AMMONIUM TRIIODIDE CRYSTALS Ammonium triiodide crystals are foul-smelling purple colored crystals that decompose under the slightest amount of heat, friction, or shock, if they are made with the purest ammonia (ammonium hydroxide) and iodine. Such crystals are said to detonate when a fly lands on them, or when an ant walks across them. Household ammonia, however, has enough impurities, such as soaps and abrasive agents, so that the crystals will detonate when thrown,crushed, or heated. Upon detonation, a loud report is heard, and a cloud of purple iodine gas appears about the detonation site. Whatever the unfortunate surface that the crystal was detonated upon will usually be ruined, as some of the iodine in the crystal is thrown about in a solid form, and iodine is corrosive. It leaves nasty, ugly, permanent brownish-purple stains on whatever it contacts. Iodine gas is also bad news, since it can damage lungs, and it settles to the ground and stains things there also. Touching iodine leaves brown stains on the skin that last for about a week, unless they are immediately and vigorously washed off. While such a compound would have little use to a serious terrorist, a vandal could utilize them in damaging property. Or, a terrorist could throw several of them into a crowd as a distraction, an action which would possibly injure a few people, but frighten almost anyone, since a small crystal that not be seen when thrown produces a rather loud explosion. Ammonium triiodide crystals could be produced in the following manner: Materials Equipment iodine crystals funnel and filter paper paper towels clear ammonia (ammonium hydroxide, two throw-away glass jars for the suicidal) 1) Place about two teaspoons of iodine into one of the glass jars. The jars must both be throw away because they will never be clean again. 2) Add enough ammonia to completely cover the iodine. 3) Place the funnel into the other jar, and put the filter paper in the funnel. The technique for putting filter paper in a funnel is taught in every basic chemistry lab class: fold the circular paper in half, so that a semi-circle is formed. Then, fold it in half again to form a triangle with one curved side. Pull one thickness of paper out to form a cone, and place the cone into the funnel. 4) After allowing the iodine to soak in the ammonia for a while, pour the solution into the paper in the funnel through the filter paper. 5) While the solution is being filtered, put more ammonia into the first jar to wash any remaining crystals into the funnel as soon as it drains. 6) Collect all the purplish crystals without touching the brown filter paper, and place them on the paper towels to dry for about an hour. Make sure that they are not too close to any lights or other sources of heat, as they could well detonate. While they are still wet, divide the wet material into about eight chunks. 7) After they dry, gently place the crystals onto a one square inch piece of duct tape. Cover it with a similar piece, and gently press the duct tape together around the crystal, making sure not to press the crystal itself. Finally, cut away most of the excess duct tape with a pair of scissors, and store the crystals in a cool dry safe place. They have a shelf life of about a week, and they should be stored in individual containers that can be thrown away, since they have a tendency to slowly decompose, a process which gives off iodine vapors, which will stain whatever they settle on. One possible way to increase their shelf life is to store them in airtight containers. To use them, simply throw them against any surface or place them where they will be stepped on or crushed. 3.14 PICRATES Although the procedure for the production of picric acid, or trinitrophenol has not yet been given, its salts are described first, since they are extremely sensitive, and detonate on impact. By mixing picric acid with metal hydroxides, such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, and evaporating the water, metal picrates can be formed. Simply obtain picric acid, or produce it, and mix it with a solution of (preferably) potassium hydroxide, of a mid range molarity. (about 6-9 M) This material, potassium picrate, is impact-sensitive, and can be used as an initiator for any type of high explosive. 3.2 LOW-ORDER EXPLOSIVES There are many low-order explosives that can be purchased in gun stores and used in explosive devices. However, it is possible that a wise wise store owner would not sell these substances to a suspicious-looking individual. Such an individual would then be forced to resort to making his own low-order explosives. 3.21 BLACK POWDER First made by the Chinese for use in fireworks, black powder was first used in weapons and explosives in the 12th century. It is very simple to make, but it is not very powerful or safe. Only about 50% of black powder is converted to hot gasses when it is burned; the other half is mostly very fine burned particles. Black powder has one major problem: it can be ignited by static electricity. This is very bad, and it means that the material must be made with wooden or clay tools. Anyway, a misguided individual could manufacture black powder at home with the following procedure: MATERIALS EQUIPMENT ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ potassium clay grinding bowl nitrate (75 g) and clay grinder or or sodium wooden salad bowl nitrate (75 g) and wooden spoon sulfur (10 g) plastic bags (3) charcoal (15 g) 300-500 ml beaker (1) distilled water coffee pot or heat source 1) Place a small amount of the potassium or sodium nitrate in the grinding bowl and grind it to a very fine powder. Do this to all of the potassium or sodium nitrate, and store the ground powder in one of the plastic bags. 2) Do the same thing to the sulfur and charcoal, storing each chemical in a separate plastic bag. 3) Place all of the finely ground potassium or sodium nitrate in the beaker, and add just enough boiling water to the chemical to get it all wet. 4) Add the contents of the other plastic bags to the wet potassium or sodium nitrate, and mix them well for several minutes. Do this until there is no more visible sulfur or charcoal, or until the mixture is universally black. 5) On a warm sunny day, put the beaker outside in the direct sunlight. Sunlight is really the best way to dry black powder, since it is never too hot, but it is hot enough to evaporate the water. 6) Scrape the black powder out of the beaker, and store it in a safe container. Plastic is really the safest container, followed by paper. Never store black powder in a plastic bag, since plastic bags are prone to generate static electricity. 3.23 FUEL-OXODIZER MIXTURES There are nearly an infinite number of fuel-oxodizer mixtures that can be produced by a misguided individual in his own home. Some are very effective and dangerous, while others are safer and less effective. A list of working fuel-oxodizer mixtures will be presented, but the exact measurements of each compound are debatable for maximum effectiveness. A rough estimate will be given of the percentages of each fuel and oxodizer: oxodizer, % by weight fuel, % by weight speed # notes ============================================================================= === potassium chlorate 67% sulfur 33% 5 friction/impact sensitive; unstable ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium chlorate 50% sugar 35% 5 fairly slow burning; charcoal 15% unstable ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium chlorate 50% sulfur 25% 8 extremely magnesium or unstable! aluminum dust 25% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium chlorate 67% magnesium or 8 unstable aluminum dust 33% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sodium nitrate 65% magnesium dust 30% ? unpredictable sulfur 5% burn rate ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium permanganate 60% glycerine 40% 4 delay before ignition depends WARNING: IGNITES SPONTANEOUSLY WITH GLYCERINE!!! upon grain size ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium permanganate 67% sulfur 33% 5 unstable ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium permangenate 60% sulfur 20% 5 unstable magnesium or aluminum dust 20% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium permanganate 50% sugar 50% 3 ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium nitrate 75% charcoal 15% 7 this is sulfur 10% black powder! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium nitrate 60% powdered iron 1 burns very hot or magnesium 40% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium chlorate 75% phosphorus 8 used to make strike- sesquisulfide 25% anywhere matches ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ammonium perchlorate 70% aluminum dust 30% 6 solid fuel for and small amount of space shuttle iron oxide ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium perchlorate 67% magnesium or 10 flash powder (sodium perchlorate) aluminum dust 33% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium perchlorate 60% magnesium or 8 alternate (sodium perchlorate) aluminum dust 20% flash powder sulfur 20% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- barium nitrate 30% aluminum dust 30% 9 alternate potassium perchlorate 30% flash powder ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- barium peroxide 90% magnesium dust 5% 10 alternate aluminum dust 5% flash powder ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium perchlorate 50% sulfur 25% 8 slightly magnesium or unstable aluminum dust 25% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium chlorate 67% red phosphorus 27% 7 very unstable calcium carbonate 3% sulfur 3% impact sensitive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium permanganate 50% powdered sugar 25% 7 unstable; aluminum or ignites if magnesium dust 25% it gets wet! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- potassium chlorate 75% charcoal dust 15% 6 unstable sulfur 10% ============================================================================= === NOTE: Mixtures that uses substitutions of sodium perchlorate for potassium perchlorate become moisture-absorbent and less stable. The higher the speed number, the faster the fuel-oxodizer mixture burns AFTER ignition. Also, as a rule, the finer the powder, the faster the rate of burning. As one can easily see, there is a wide variety of fuel-oxodizer mixtures that can be made at home. By altering the amounts of fuel and oxodizer(s), different burn rates can be achieved, but this also can change the sensitivity of the mixture. 3.24 PERCHLORATES As a rule, any oxidizable material that is treated with perchloric acid will become a low order explosive. Metals, however, such as potassium or sodium, become excellent bases for flash-type powders. Some materials that can be perchlorated are cotton, paper, and sawdust. To produce potassium or sodium perchlorate, simply acquire the hydroxide of that metal, e.g. sodium or potassium hydroxide. It is a good idea to test the material to be perchlorated with a very small amount of acid, since some of the materials tend to react explosively when contacted by the acid. Solutions of sodium or potassium hydroxide are ideal. 3.3 HIGH-ORDER EXPLOSIVES High order explosives can be made in the home without too much difficulty. The main problem is acquiring the nitric acid to produce the high explosive. Most high explosives detonate because their molecular structure is made up of some fuel and usually three or more NO2 ( nitrogen dioxide ) molecules. T.N.T., or Tri-Nitro-Toluene is an excellent example of such a material. When a shock wave passes through an molecule of T.N.T., the nitrogen dioxide bond is broken, and the oxygen combines with the fuel, all in a matter of microseconds. This accounts for the great power of nitrogen-based explosives. Remembering that these procedures are NEVER TO BE CARRIED OUT, several methods of manufacturing high-order explosives in the home are listed. 3.33 ANFOS ANFO is an acronym for Ammonium Nitrate - Fuel Oil Solution. An ANFO solves the only other major problem with ammonium nitrate: its tendency to pick up water vapor from the air. This results in the explosive failing to detonate when such an attempt is made. This is rectified by mixing 94% (by weight) ammonium nitrate with 6% fuel oil, or kerosene. The kerosene keeps the ammonium nitrate from absorbing moisture from the air. An ANFO also requires a large shockwave to set it off. 3.35 POTASSIUM CHLORATE Potassium chlorate itself cannot be made in the home, but it can be obtained from labs. If potassium chlorate is mixed with a small amount of vaseline, or other petroleum jelly, and a shockwave is passed through it, the material will detonate with slightly more power than black powder. It must, however, be confined to detonate it in this manner. The procedure for making such an explosive is outlined below: MATERIALS EQUIPMENT potassium chlorate zip-lock plastic bag (9 parts, by volume) petroleum jelly clay grinding bowl (vaseline) or (1 part, by volume) wooden bowl and wooden spoon 1) Grind the potassium chlorate in the grinding bowl carefully and slowly, until the potassium chlorate is a very fine powder. The finer that it is powdered, the faster (better) it will detonate. 2) Place the powder into the plastic bag. Put the petroleum jelly into the plastic bag, getting as little on the sides of the bag as possible, i.e. put the vaseline on the potassium chlorate powder. 3) Close the bag, and kneed the materials together until none of the potassium chlorate is dry powder that does not stick to the main glob. If necessary, add a bit more petroleum jelly to the bag. 4) The material must me used within 24 hours, or the mixture will react to greatly reduce the effectiveness of the explosive. This reaction, however, is harmless, and releases no heat or dangerous products. 3.38 PICRIC ACID Picric acid, also known as Tri-Nitro-Phenol, or T.N.P., is a military explosive that is most often used as a booster charge to set off another less sensitive explosive, such as T.N.T. It another explosive that is fairly simple to make, assuming that one can acquire the concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids. Its procedure for manufacture is given in many college chemistry lab manuals, and is easy to follow. The main problem with picric acid is its tendency to form dangerously sensitive and unstable picrate salts, such as potassium picrate. For this reason, it is usually made into a safer form, such as ammonium picrate, also called explosive D. A social deviant would probably use a formula similar to the one presented here to make picric acid. MATERIALS EQUIPMENT --------- --------- phenol (9.5 g) -500 ml flask concentrated sulfuric acid (12.5 ml) -adjustable heat source concentrated nitric acid (38 ml) -1000 ml beaker or other container suitable for boiling in distilled water -filter paper and funnel -glass stirring rod 1) Place 9.5 grams of phenol into the 500 ml flask, and carefully add 12.5 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid and stir the mixture. 2) Put 400 ml of tap water into the 1000 ml beaker or boiling container and bring the water to a gentle boil. 3) After warming the 500 ml flask under hot tap water, place it in the boiling water, and continue to stir the mixture of phenol and acid for about thirty minutes. After thirty minutes, take the flask out, and allow it to cool for about five minutes. 4) Pour out the boiling water used above, and after allowing the container to cool, use it to create an ice bath, similar to the one used in section 3.13, steps 3-4. Place the 500 ml flask with the mixed acid an phenol in the ice bath. Add 38 ml of concentrated nitric acid in small amounts, stirring the mixture constantly. A vigorous but "harmless" reaction should occur. When the mixture stops reacting vigorously, take the flask out of the ice bath. 5) Warm the ice bath container, if it is glass, and then begin boiling more tap water. Place the flask containing the mixture in the boiling water, and heat it in the boiling water for 1.5 to 2 hours. 6) Add 100 ml of cold distilled water to the solution, and chill it in an ice bath until it is cold. 7) Filter out the yellowish-white picric acid crystals by pouring the solution through the filter paper in the funnel. Collect the liquid and dispose of it in a safe place, since it is corrosive. 8) Wash out the 500 ml flask with distilled water, and put the contents of the filter paper in the flask. Add 300 ml of water, and shake vigorously. 9) Re-filter the crystals, and allow them to dry. 10) Store the crystals in a safe place in a glass container, since they will react with metal containers to produce picrates that could explode spontaneously. -------------------------> Sugar Chlorate Powder <------------------------- ---------------------------> And its Many Uses <--------------------------- Intro ===== Here I am, back again, aiding the youths of America in having as much fun as we possibly can before we become old enough to ACTUALLY go to jail. But until then, make like Bill and Ted, AND PARTY ON DUDES!!! But anyhow, as for the focus of this phile, it is Sugar Chlorate Powder. It is more of a blasting powder than an explosive, but many interesting tricks, explosions, etc. can be gotten from it if ya just use a little brains and of course, common sense. For those of you who are kinda new to the explosives biz, I would STRONGLY suggest that you look into reading The Pyro Series by .....well..by some guy, I couldn't find his name. It is a very nice beginner phile.. I have included the saftey section of PYRO.TXT at the beginning of this phile so that my readers don't kill themselves. Pretty smart huh? You can find the entire PYRO.TXT phile on many boards if you want it.. If you still can't find it, I know HELLFIRE BBS will have it so go there. Just tell 'em how you heard of the place, and you should get in.. On with the good stuff..... BASIC SAFTEY ============ Pyrotechnic preparations and explosives are, by their very nature, unstable, and subject to ignition by explosion or heat, shock, or friction. A clear understanding of their dangerous properties and due care in the handling of ingredients or finished products is necessary if accidents are to be avoided. Always observe all possible precautions, particularly the following: 1. Mix only small batches at one time. This means a few grams, or at most, an ounce or so. Don't go for big mixes -- they only make for bigger accidents. The power of an explosive cubes itself with every ounce. (9 Ounces is 729 times as powerful as one ounce.) 2. When weighing chemicals, use a clean piece of paper on the scale pan for each item. Then discard the used paper into a bucket of water before weighing the next ingredient. 3. Be a safe worker. Dispose of any chemicals spilled on the workbench or equipment between weighings. Don't keep open containers of chemicals on your table, since accidental spillage or mixing may occur. When finished with a container, close it, and replace it on the storage shelf. Use only clean equipment. 4. Where chemicals are to be ground, grind them separately, NEVER TOGETHER. Thoroughly wash and clean equipment before grinding another ingredient. 5. Mixing of batches should be done outdoors, away from flammable structures, such as buildings, barns, garages, etc. Mixes should also be made in NON METALLIC containers to avoid sparks. Glass also should not be used since it will shatter in case of an accident. Handy small containers can be made by cutting off the top of a plastic bottle three or four inches from the bottom. Some mixes may most conveniently be made by placing the ingredients in a plastic bottle and rolling around until the mixture is uniform. In all cases, point the open end of the container away from yourself. Never hold your body or face over the container. Any stirring should be done with a wooden paddle or stick to avoid sparks or static. Powdered or ground materials may also be mixed by placing them on a large sheet of paper on a flat surface and then rolling them across the sheet by lifting the sides and corners one at a time. 6. Never ram or stamp mixes into paper or cardboard tubes. Pour the material in and gently tap or shake the tube to settle the contents down. 7. Store ingredients and finished mixes where they will not be a fire hazard away from heat and flame. Finished preparations may be stored in plastic bottles which will not shatter in case of an accident. Since many of the ingredients and mixes are poisonous, they should be stored out of reach of children or pets, preferably locked away. 8. Be sure threads of screw top containers and caps are thoroughly cleaned. This applies also to containers with stoppers of rubber or cork and to all other types of closures. Traces of mixture caught between the container and closure may be ignited by the friction of opening or closing the container. Throughout any procedure, WORK WITH CLEAN CONDITIONS. 9. ALWAYS WEAR A FACE SHIELD OR AT LEAST SHATTERPROOF SAFETY GLASSES. Any careful worker does when handling dangerous materials. Be sure lenses and frames are not flammable. 10. Always wear a dust respirator when handling chemicals in dust form. These small particles gather in your lungs and stay there. They may cause serious illnesses later on in life. 11. Always wear gloves when working with chemicals. 12. Always wear a waterproof lab apron. 13. If you must work indoors, have a good ventilation system. 14. Never smoke anywhere near where you are working. 15. Make sure there are NO open flames present, and NO MOTORS (they produce sparks inside.) No hot water heaters, furnaces, or pilot lights in stoves!! Sparks have been known to very readily explode dust floating in the air. 16. ALWAYS work with someone. Two heads are better than one. 17. Have a source of water READILY available. (Fire extinguisher, hose, etc.) 18. Never, under any circumstances, use any metal to load chemicals or put chemicals in. Fireworks with metal casings are worse to handle than a live hand grenade. Never use any metal container or can. This includes the very dangerous CO2 cartridges. Many people have been KILLED because of flying fragments from metal casings. Again, please do not use metal in any circumstance. 19. Always be thoroughly familiar with the chemicals you are using. Some information will be included in each file, but look for whatever extra information you can. Materials that were once thought to be safe can later be found out to be dangerous stuff. 20. Wash your hands and face thoroughly after using chemicals. Don't forget to wash your EARS AND YOUR NOSE. 21. If any device you've built fails to work, leave it alone. After a half hour or so, you may try to bury it, but never try to unload or reuse any dud. 22. If dust particles start to form in the air, stop what you are doing and leave until it settles. 23. Read the entire file before trying to do anything. 24. NEVER strike any mixture containing Chlorates, Nitrates, Perchlorates, Permanganates, Bichromates, or powdered metals don't drop them, or even handle them roughly. These rules may all look like a lot of silly nonsense, but let's look at one example. When the move "The Wizard of OZ" was made, the actress who played the good witch was severely burned when one of the exploding special effects got out of hand. The actress who played the bad witch got really messed up by the green coloring used on her face, and the original actor who played the Tin Man got his lungs destroyed by the aluminum dust used to color his face. The actor we know of as the tin man was actually a replacement. The point is, these chemicals were being used under the direction of people a lot more knowlegable of chemicals than you are, and terrible accidents still happened. Don't take this stuff lightly. Getting The Materials There are quite a few chemical supply houses that you can mail order the materials you need. You'll have to sign a form stating that you're over 21 and won't use the chemicals for the types of things we're learning here. Note that the people who run these supply houses know what sugar chlorate powder does/is and if you order chemicals from the same place, or in the same order, it may arouse some suspicion. As well as any other chemical combination that you use for these little "science porjects". Check the classified ads in the back of magazines like Popular Science for the current supply houses. Order as many catalogs as you can find. Not all sell every chemical that you may want for this series. Also, you can break the orders up so as not to look suspicious. Lastly, some houses are used to selling to individuals, and will provide chemicals in 1 or 4 ounce lots, while others prefer to sell to large institutions, and sell their wares in 1 or 5 pound jugs. Split up your orders according to the quantities of each item you think you will be needing. An ounce of Iodine Crystals will cost three or four dollars an ounce, and an ounce bottle of iodine is pretty tiny, but it goes a long way. If you had to buy that by the pound, you might just want to forget the whole thing. The shipping charges will mostlikely be compunded because of the ordering from seprate places, but it is either that or get caught. So it's your choice. The Good Stuff ============== When making sugar powder, be sure to get the chemical with the three molecules of oxygen in it's formula (K Cl O3) (The formula should be on the side of the container. The correct formula is called potassium chloRATE. The one NOT to get is potassium chloRIDE, which is basically a dead chemical. Potassium chlorate is still used by some farmers and can sometimes even be bought at your local drug store. Most drug supply houses have it as well. The cost usually varies, but it is a good deal concerning its availability since it is easy to make and get and most other explosives are not. There is only one down side to Sugar Chlorate Powder. The directions must be followed EXACTLY! They are not that hard to follow however. Unless you think that directions on how to make a cake from a box are difficult, you should have very little problem. Otherwise, DON'T TOUCH THIS STUFF! Directions ========== You will get a simple step to follow with a little in depth details to clear anything coonfusing up. 1. Buy the correct chemical - use potassium chlorate KClO3. (We already went through that, no need to do it again.) 2. Use common, granulated white sugar as the second ingrediant. 3. DRY measure the two into equal amounts by volume. When I say DRY, I mean use measuring instruments used in measuring dry powders. NOT the measuring cup used to measure liquids. By equal volume I mean use: 1 cup of KClO3 for each cup of sugar. 4. Sift the KClO3 so that all the lumps are removed or crushed. You can use a screen, like the type in screen doors, to sift the powder. Sometimes, if the powder has NO lumps, you can skip this step. 5. Place the sugar in an old pot. Heat it to 255 degrees Fahrenheit, STIRRING CONSTANTLY. Use a simple candy thermometer to tell tempertature. You can get one from a supermarket most likely. Or steal one from your chemistry lab. MAKE SURE YOU ARE MEASURING IN FAHRENHEIT! Not Centigrade. 6. Take the sugar away from the stove burner when it reaches 255 and STIR VIGOROUSLY! The stirring is needed to get out all the hot spots in the sugar. 7. Continue to stir until the melted sugar cools sufficiently to comfortably put your finger into the mixture. 8. Quickly stir in the KClO3 before the compound cools down and sets up, completely mixing in the KClO3. 9. Dump the solidifying compoundon a pieceof Saran wrapand flatten out to not more that one-half-inch thick. 10. Allow the batch to sure overnight (12 hours) in a cool, dry place. A refridgerator is TOO cool and damp. A nice August/September night in an open garage in New Jersey is perfect. 11. Using a wooden rolling pin or mortor and pestal, crush the frangible powder as fine as required for the intended use. Fine is better for reloading; coarse is okay for bombs. 12. Sift the powder through a fine scren to grade for particle size. 13. Use to wreck havok..er...I mean havoc and hell... Some Uses in Detail =================== For people that are into guns, you can sieve the very fine particle out and use them for reloading ammo. I know people that have loaded it into .22 LR cartridges after they had pulled the heads and dumped the factory powder charge. The powder is best used for bombs though. Basically because it is not to nice on gun barrels. Sugar powder is MATCH-SENSITIVE. I belive that it is also impact sensitive. I also suspect that it is CAP-SENSITIVE fro those of you who fool around with blasting caps and dynamite. In three-quarter-inch pipes, the sugar does not reach critical mass and simply fizzles. When ignighted with a fuze in half-pound quantities in one-half-inch or larger pipe bombs, it "barks" nicely, doing a decent amount of damage. The best charges are packed in as dense a manner as possible. Many people have many different for the best designed pipe bomb. I'll throw my hat into the ring with my favorite design: 2-IN. OR LARGER IRON PIPE WITH THREADED END CAPS ========== ========== = = = = = |-----------------------------------| = = | | = = | <---------------Pipe packed = |________________ | ________________| = with sugar = = | <--- Fuze Hole = = powder. ========== | ========== | <--- Fuze COMMON SODA STRAW FILLED WITH MIX OF: 50% SUGAR CHLORATE, 50% FINE HARDWOOD SAWDUST ___________________________________________________ /________\__________\__________\__________\_________\ Another type of fuse to make is the cotton string dipped in a solution of sugar powder. It can be subject to flash burns, so it should only be used in very long length. Fortunatly, it is cheap and easy to make. The straw design is mch more reliable and predictable than the string fuze. Just take a nice fat straw and fill it with the about mixture. Varing the amount of sawdust controls the timing of the fuze. Not to mention, you can slip ends into each other to further lenthen the time of the fuze. The most unusual and most fun thing to do with sugar powder is the ol' light bulb trick. First take a simple 60- or 100-watt light bulb. Knock out a small chunk of the side using a towel or rag a small ball peen hammer. Then fill the bulb with one-quarter to one-half pound of sugar powder. When you turn on the light switch, the oxygen exposed elements in the bulbs flash, setting off the sugar powder, which thump the room nicely. The thump is not TOO powerful however. It doesn't even blow out the windows. BUT it does create SO much smoke and confusion that it is well worth trying to get the bulb to break corrrectly. -- Roofing: A Beginning Guide -- Roofs? Why? ------------ The law calls it Tresspassing. We, in our circle of friends, call it roofing. It is the art of exploring Roof-tops, and generally creating havoc, while up there. Havoc the Chaos (rip), was the one who enjoyed roofing most, but he is not here to present this file. I felt that roofing was a sport, and the high- light was not to get caught. We have been "caught" by the police, and other various peoples while exploring, but it's really been no big deal. On with some ideas... Creative! --------- The first thing you have to do, although it is rather obvious, is get on top of the roof. Usually, one can climb the pipes on the side/back of the building. Some of them can be quite hot, so be careful. We have figured many creative ways to get on top of roofs, including climbing a nearby roof-top and jumping to the other roof. (This can get sometimes- dangerous.) It depends what type of roof you want to get on. We began inhabiting roofs of small department stores, causing some vandalism up there, like shorting the signs, breaking the skylights, and turning the air conditioners on and off. One thing that Havoc the Chaos and the Moon Roach overlooked (sad) was the fact that there were people inside the store while they had fun. The local police department had quite a short talk with them. We went on to bigger and better things... K-Mart was a roof that we visited quite often, and we had a very sadistic approach towards this store. Taking long, floresicent lighting tubes from the nearby dumpster, they would toss them down into the garden center. This was humorous, to a point. "Payless" was also interesting. Insanity? --------- We actually did get on the roof of a local shopping mall. You see, this particular mall (known in Sunnyvale, as "Vallco", by the way) had a japanese restraunt near the upper level, which you could enter through the outside of the mall. It had a nice grid-type pattern, which we climbed up (at 4 o'clock in the morning) and accessed the roof. The view was nice, although it was dark and quite foggy. Sonitrol (tm), which was discussed in eariler text-files, is a sound-detecting device, that was present on top of this mall. When roofing, beware of these little buggers. They resemble long, metal sprinkers, and in the dead of night, it's quite easy to trip over them. We ended up distroying an antennia, nothing else. Remember this, when roofing in the early morning, !get off! the roof before the sun rises. We had quite a scramble getting down. Abandoned Buildings? -------------------- Abandoned buildings, despite what your fourth grade teacher told you, can prove to be interesting. We've found many useful things, such as spray paint, nails, and even small pieces of machinery. Spray Paint is fun, but you must remember not to go overboard. (I think that Havoc was crazy spray-painting "Anarchy!" in the bathrooms of the local fast-food joint...) The most interesting abandoned buildings are un-used canneries, warehouses, and storage buildings. These don't !usually! have security guards, but we have stumbled upon many of these people. Guards, Cops, and others! ------------------------- You've been caught. Big deal, all they generally do is ask for your name. Of course, my name was different every time I was caught. Just play it really cool, and if your wallet is not in plain sight, then say you don't have id. Security guards won't detain you, unless you've done some obvious vandalism. They want your name and phone number, according to another guard, to call your parents !if! any vandalism has been done. You must be good in impromtu and be quick about it. (The Moon Roach and I lived on "Penny Lane" and "Abbey Road". That's irony, mind you...Hahaha...) Why, though, why? ----------------- I really don't know. Roofing, like exploring, is adventurous, and fun...to an extent. If you are the type to be scared of heights, and not into senseless violence, then don't bother with a sport such as this. Enjoy. 3.54 BOTTLED GAS EXPLOSIVES Bottled gas, such as butane for refilling lighters, propane for propane stoves or for bunsen burners, can be used to produce a powerful explosion. To make such a device, all that a simple-minded anarchist would have to do would be to take his container of bottled gas and place it above a can of Sterno or other gelatinized fuel, and light the fuel and run. Depending on the fuel used, and on the thickness of the fuel container, the liquid gas will boil and expand to the point of bursting the container in about five minutes. In theory, the gas would immediately be ignited by the burning gelatinized fuel, producing a large fireball and explosion. Unfortunately, the bursting of the bottled gas container often puts out the fuel, thus preventing the expanding gas from igniting. By using a metal bucket half filled with gasoline, however, the chances of ignition are better, since the gasoline is less likely to be extinguished. Placing the canister of bottled gas on a bed of burning charcoal soaked in gasoline would probably be the most effective way of securing ignition of the expanding gas, since although the bursting of the gas container may blow out the flame of the gasoline, the burning charcoal should immediately re-ignite it. Nitrous oxide, hydrogen, propane, acetylene, or any other flammable gas will do nicely. 4.0 USING EXPLOSIVES Once a terrorist has made his explosives, the next logical step is to apply them. Explosives have a wide range of uses, from harassment, to vandalism, to murder. NONE OF THE IDEAS PRESENTED HERE ARE EVER TO BE CARRIED OUT, EITHER IN PART OR IN FULL! DOING SO CAN LEAD TO PROSECUTION, FINES, AND IMPRISONMENT! The first step that a person that would use explosive would take would be to determine how big an explosive device would be needed to do whatever had to be done. Then, he would have to decide what to make his bomb with. He would also have to decide on how he wanted to detonate the device, and determine where the best placement for it would be. Then, it would be necessary to see if the device could be put where he wanted it without it being discovered or moved. Finally, he would actually have to sit down and build his explosive device. These are some of the topics covered in the next section. 4.1 SAFETY There is no such thing as a "safe" explosive device. One can only speak in terms of relative safety, or less unsafe. 4.2 IGNITION DEVICES There are many ways to ignite explosive devices. There is the classic "light the fuse, throw the bomb, and run" approach, and there are sensitive mercury switches, and many things in between. Generally, electrical detonation systems are safer than fuses, but there are times when fuses are more appropriate than electrical systems; it is difficult to carry an electrical detonation system into a stadium, for instance, without being caught. A device with a fuse or impact detonating fuse would be easier to hide. 4.21 FUSE IGNITION The oldest form of explosive ignition, fuses are perhaps the favorite type of simple ignition system. By simply placing a piece of waterproof fuse in a device, one can have almost guaranteed ignition. Modern waterproof fuse is extremely reliable, burning at a rate of about 2.5 seconds to the inch. It is available as model rocketry fuse in most hobby shops, and costs about $3.00 for a nine-foot length. Fuse is a popular ignition system for pipe bombers because of its simplicity. All that need be done is light it with a match or lighter. Of course, if the Army had fuses like this, then the grenade, which uses fuse ignition, would be very impracticle. If a grenade ignition system can be acquired, by all means, it is the most effective. But, since such things do not just float around, the next best thing is to prepare a fuse system which does not require the use of a match or lighter, but still retains its simplicity. One such method is described below: MATERIALS _________ strike-on-cover type matches electrical tape or duct tape waterproof fuse 1) To determine the burn rate of a particular type of fuse, simply measure a 6 inch or longer piece of fuse and ignite it. With a stopwatch, press the start button the at the instant when the fuse lights, and stop the watch when the fuse reaches its end. Divide the time of burn by the length of fuse, and you have the burn rate of the fuse, in seconds per inch. This will be shown below: Suppose an eight inch piece of fuse is burned, and its complete time of combustion is 20 seconds. 20 seconds ---------- = 2.5 seconds per inch. 8 inches If a delay of 10 seconds was desired with this fuse, divide the desired time by the number of seconds per inch: 10 seconds ------------------ = 4 inches 2.5 seconds / inch NOTE: THE LENGTH OF FUSE HERE MEANS LENGTH OF FUSE TO THE POWDER. SOME FUSE, AT LEAST AN INCH, SHOULD BE INSIDE THE DEVICE. ALWAYS ADD THIS EXTRA INCH, AND PUT THIS EXTRA INCH AN INCH INTO THE DEVICE!!! 2) After deciding how long a delay is desired before the explosive device is to go off, add about 1/2 an inch to the premeasured amount of fuse, and cut it off. 3) Carefully remove the cardboard matches from the paper match case. Do not pull off individual matches; keep all the matches attached to the cardboard base. Take one of the cardboard match sections, and leave the other one to make a second igniter. 4) Wrap the matches around the end of the fuse, with the heads of the matches touching the very end of the fuse. Tape them there securely, making sure not to put tape over the match heads. Make sure they are very secure by pulling on them at the base of the assembly. They should not be able to move. 5) Wrap the cover of the matches around the matches attached to the fuse, making sure that the striker paper is below the match heads and the striker faces the match heads. Tape the paper so that is fairly tight around the matches. Do not tape the cover of the striker to the fuse or to the matches. Leave enough of the match book to pull on for ignition. _____________________ \ / \ / ------ match book cover \ / | M|f|M ---|------- match head | A|u|A | | T|s|T | | C|e|C | |tapeH|.|Htape| | |f| | |#####|u|#####|-------- striking paper |#####|s|#####| \ |e| / \ |.| / \ |f| / \ |u| / |ta|s|pe| |ta|e|pe| |.| |f| |u| |s| |e| |.| |_| The match book is wrapped around the matches, and is taped to itself. The matches are taped to the fuse. The striker will rub against the matcheads when the match book is pulled. 6) When ready to use, simply pull on the match paper. It should pull the striking paper across the match heads with enough friction to light them. In turn, the burning matcheads will light the fuse, since it adjacent to the burning match heads. 4.22 IMPACT IGNITION Impact ignition is an excellent method of ignition for spontaneous terrorist activities. The problem with an impact-detonating device is that it must be kept in a very safe container so that it will not explode while being transported to the place where it is to be used. This can be done by having a removable impact initiator. The best and most reliable impact initiator is one that uses factory made initiators or primers. A no. 11 cap for black powder firearms is one such primer. They usually come in boxes of 100, and cost about $2.50. To use such a cap, however, one needs a nipple that it will fit on. Black powder nipples are also available in gun stores. All that a person has to do is ask for a package of nipples and the caps that fit them. Nipples have a hole that goes all the way through them, and they have a threaded end, and an end to put the cap on. A cutaway of a nipple is shown below: ________________ | | _ | | | | _______| |^^^^^^^^| | | ___________| | | | | no. 11 |_______| | percussion _______ | ------- threads for screwing cap here | | | nipple onto bomb | |___________ | |_______ | | | |^^^^^^^^^| | |_| | | |________________| When making using this type of initiator, a hole must be drilled into whatever container is used to make the bomb out of. The nipple is then screwed into the hole so that it fits tightly. Then, the cap can be carried and placed on the bomb when it is to be thrown. The cap should be bent a small amount before it is placed on the nipple, to make sure that it stays in place. The only other problem involved with an impact detonating bomb is that it must strike a hard surface on the nipple to set it off. By attaching fins or a small parachute on the end of the bomb opposite the primer, the bomb, when thrown, should strike the ground on the primer, and explode. Of course, a bomb with mercury fulminate in each end will go off on impact regardless of which end it strikes on, but mercury fulminate is also likely to go off if the person carrying the bomb is bumped hard. 4.23 ELECTRICAL IGNITION Electrical ignition systems for detonation are usually the safest and most reliable form of ignition. Electrical systems are ideal for demolition work, if one doesn't have to worry so much about being caught. With two spools of 500 ft of wire and a car battery, one can detonate explosives from a "safe", comfortable distance, and be sure that there is nobody around that could get hurt. With an electrical system, one can control exactly what time a device will explode, within fractions of a second. Detonation can be aborted in less than a second's warning, if a person suddenly walks by the detonation sight, or if a police car chooses to roll by at the time. The two best electrical igniters are military squibs and model rocketry igniters. Blasting caps for construction also work well. Model rocketry igniters are sold in packages of six, and cost about $1.00 per pack. All that need be done to use them is connect it to two wires and run a current through them. Military squibs are difficult to get, but they are a little bit better, since they explode when a current is run through them, whereas rocketry igniters only burst into flame. Military squibs can be used to set off sensitive high explosives, such as R.D.X., or potassium chlorate mixed with petroleum jelly. Igniters can be used to set off black powder, mercury fulminate, or guncotton, which in turn, can set of a high order explosive. 4.24 ELECTRO-MECHANICAL IGNITION Electro-mechanical ignition systems are systems that use some type of mechanical switch to set off an explosive charge electrically. This type of switch is typically used in booby traps or other devices in which the person who places the bomb does not wish to be anywhere near the device when it explodes. Several types of electro-mechanical detonators will be discussed 4.241 Mercury Switches Mercury switches are a switch that uses the fact that mercury metal conducts electricity, as do all metals, but mercury metal is a liquid at room temperatures. A typical mercury switch is a sealed glass tube with two electrodes and a bead of mercury metal. It is sealed because of mercury's nasty habit of giving off brain-damaging vapors. The diagram below may help to explain a mercury switch. ______________ A / \ B _____wire +______/___________ \ \ ( Hg ) | / \ _(_Hg_)__|___/ | | wire - | | | When the drop of mercury ("Hg" is mercury's atomic symbol) touches both contacts, current flows through the switch. If this particular switch was in its present position, A---B, current would be flowing, since the mercury can touch both contacts in the horizontal position. If, however, it was in the | position, the drop of mercury would only touch the + contact on the A side. Current, then couldn't flow, since mercury does not reach both contacts when the switch is in the vertical position. This type of switch is ideal to place by a door. If it were placed in the path of a swinging door in the verticle position, the motion of the door would knock the switch down, if it was held to the ground by a piece if tape. This would tilt the switch into the verticle position, causing the mercury to touch both contacts, allowing current to flow through the mercury, and to the igniter or squib in an explosive device. Imagine opening a door and having it slammed in your face by an explosion. 4.242 Tripwire Switches A tripwire is an element of the classic booby trap. By placing a nearly invisible line of string or fishing line in the probable path of a victim, and by putting some type of trap there also, nasty things can be caused to occur. If this mode of thought is applied to explosives, how would one use such a tripwire to detonate a bomb. The technique is simple. By wrapping the tips of a standard clothespin with aluminum foil, and placing something between them, and connecting wires to each aluminum foil contact, an electric tripwire can be made, If a piece of wood attached to the tripwire was placed between the contacts on the clothespin, the clothespin would serve as a switch. When the tripwire was pulled, the clothespin would snap together, allowing current to flow between the two pieces of aluminum foil, thereby completing a circuit, which would have the igniter or squib in it. Current would flow between the contacts to the igniter or squib, heat the igniter or squib, causing it it to explode. __________________________________ \_foil___________________________/ Insert strip of ----------------------------spring wood with trip- _foil__________________________ wire between foil /_______________________________\ contacts. Make sure that the aluminum foil contacts do not touch the spring, since the spring also conducts electricity. 4.243 Radio Control Detonators In the movies, every terrorist or criminal uses a radio controlled detonator to set off explosives. With a good radio detonator, one can be several miles away from the device, and still control exactly when it explodes, in much the same way as an electrical switch. The problem with radio detonators is that they are rather costly. However, there could possibly be a reason that a terrorist would wish to spend the amounts of money involved with a RC (radio control) system and use it as a detonator. If such an individual wanted to devise an RC detonator, all he would need to do is visit the local hobby store or toy store, and buy a radio controlled toy. Taking it back to his/her abode, all that he/she would have to do is detach the solenoid/motor that controls the motion of the front wheels of a RC car, or detach the solenoid/motor of the elevators/rudder of a RC plane, or the rudder of a RC boat, and re-connect the squib or rocket engine igniter to the contacts for the solenoid/motor. The device should be tested several times with squibs or igniters, and fully charged batteries should be in both he controller and the receiver (the part that used to move parts before the device became a detonator). 4.3 DELAYS A delay is a device which causes time to pass from when a device is set up to the time that it explodes. A regular fuse is a delay, but it would cost quite a bit to have a 24 hour delay with a fuse. This section deals with the different types of delays that can be employed by a terrorist who wishes to be sure that his bomb will go off, but wants to be out of the country when it does. 4.31 FUSE DELAYS It is extremely simple to delay explosive devices that employ fuses for ignition. Perhaps the simplest way to do so is with a cigarette. An average cigarette burns for about 8 minutes. The higher the "tar" and nicotine rating, the slower the cigarette burns. Low "tar" and nicotine cigarettes burn quicker than the higher "tar" and nicotine cigarettes, but they are also less likely to go out if left unattended, i.e. not smoked. Depending on the wind or draft in a given place, a high "tar" cigarette is better for delaying the ignition of a fuse, but there must be enough wind or draft to give the cigarette enough oxygen to burn. People who use cigarettes for the purpose of delaying fuses will often test the cigarettes that they plan to use in advance to make sure they stay lit and to see how long it will burn. Once a cigarettes burn rate is determined, it is a simple matter of carefully putting a hole all the way through a cigarette with a toothpick at the point desired, and pushing the fuse for a device in the hole formed. |=| |=| ---------- filter |=| | | | | |o| ---------- hole for fuse cigarette ------------ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |_| ---------- light this end A similar type of device can be make from powdered charcoal and a sheet of paper. Simply roll the sheet of paper into a thin tube, and fill it with powdered charcoal. Punch a hole in it at the desired location, and insert a fuse. Both ends must be glued closed, and one end of the delay must be doused with lighter fluid before it is lit. Or, a small charge of gunpowder mixed with powdered charcoal could conceivably used for igniting such a delay. A chain of charcoal briquettes can be used as a delay by merely lining up a few bricks of charcoal so that they touch each other, end on end, and lighting the first brick. Incense, which can be purchased at almost any novelty or party supply store, can also be used as a fairly reliable delay. By wrapping the fuse about the end of an incense stick, delays of up to 1/2 an hour are possible. Finally, it is possible to make a relatively slow-burning fuse in the home. By dissolving about one teaspoon of black powder in about 1/4 a cup of boiling water, and, while it is still hot, soaking in it a long piece of all cotton string, a slow-burning fuse can be made. After the soaked string dries, it must then be tied to the fuse of an explosive device. Sometimes, the end of the slow burning fuse that meets the normal fuse has a charge of black powder or gunpowder at the intersection point to insure ignition, since the slow-burning fuse does not burn at a very high temperature. A similar type of slow fuse can be made by taking the above mixture of boiling water and black powder and pouring it on a long piece of toilet paper. The wet toilet paper is then gently twisted up so that it resembles a firecracker fuse, and is allowed to dry. 4.32 TIMER DELAYS Timer delays, or "time bombs" are usually employed by an individual who wishes to threaten a place with a bomb and demand money to reveal its location and means to disarm it. Such a device could be placed in any populated place if it were concealed properly. There are several ways to build a timer delay. By simply using a screw as one contact at the time that detonation is desired, and using the hour hand of a clock as the other contact, a simple timer can be made. The minute hand of a clock should be removed, unless a delay of less than an hour is desired. ___________________________________ to igniter from igniter | | | 12 | : : | 11 1 | : : | | : : | 10 2 | : : | o................|......: : | | : | 9 3 | : | | : | | : | 8 4 | : | o.........|...... : | 7 5 | : : | 6 | :.+.....-.....: |__________________________________| __|_____| | | | battery | o - contacts | | ..... - wire | | |___________| This device is set to go off in eleven hours. When the hour hand of the clock reaches the contact near the numeral 5, it will complete the circuit, allowing current to flow through the igniter or squib. The main disadvantage with this type of timer is that it can only be set for a maximum time of 12 hours. If an electronic timer is used, such as that in an electronic clock, then delays of up to 24 hours are possible. By removing the speaker from an electronic clock, and attaching the wires of a squib or igniter to them, a timer with a delay of up to 24 hours can be made. To utilize this type of timer, one must have a socket that the clock can be plugged into. All that one has to do is set the alarm time of the clock to the desired time, connect the leads, and go away. This could also be done with an electronic watch, if a larger battery were used, and the current to the speaker of the watch was stepped up via a transformer. This would be good, since such a timer could be extremely small. The timer in a VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) would be ideal. VCR's can usually be set for times of up to a week. The leads from the timer to the recording equipment would be the ones that an igniter or squib would be connected to. Also, one can buy timers from electronics stores that would be ideal. Finally, one could employ a digital watch, and use a relay, or electro-magnetic switch to fire the igniter, and the current of the watch would not have to be stepped up. 4.33 CHEMICAL DELAYS Chemical delays are uncommon, but they can be extremely effective in some cases. If a glass container is filled with concentrated sulfuric acid, and capped with several thicknesses of aluminum foil, or a cap that it will eat through, then it can be used as a delay. Sulfuric acid will react with aluminum foil to produce aluminum sulfate and hydrogen gas, and so the container must be open to the air on one end so that the pressure of the hydrogen gas that is forming does not break the container. See diagram on following page. _ _ | | | | | | | | | | | | | |_____________| | | | | | | | sulfuric | | | | | | | | acid | | | | | |---------- aluminum foil | |_____________| | (several thicknesses) |_________________| The aluminum foil is placed over the bottom of the container and secured there with tape. When the acid eats through the aluminum foil, it can be used to ignite an explosive device in several ways. 1) Sulfuric acid is a good conductor of electricity. If the acid that eats through the foil is collected in a glass container placed underneath the foil, and two wires are placed in the glass container, a current will be able to flow through the acid when both of the wires are immersed in the acid. 2) Sulfuric acid reacts very violently with potassium chlorate. If the acid drips down into a container containing potassium chlorate, the potassium chlorate will burst into flame. This flame can be used to ignite a fuse, or the potassium chlorate can be the igniter for a thermit bomb, if some potassium chlorate is mixed in a 50/50 ratio with the thermit, and this mixture is used as an igniter for the rest of the thermit. 3) Sulfuric acid reacts with potassium permangenate in a similar way. 4.56 PHONE BOMBS The phone bomb is an explosive device that has been used in the past to kill or injure a specific individual. The basic idea is simple: when the person answers the phone, the bomb explodes. If a small but powerful high explosive device with a squib was placed in the phone receiver, when the current flowed through the receiver, the squib would explode, detonating the high explosive in the person's hand. Nasty. All that has to be done is acquire a squib, and tape the receiver switch down. Unscrew the mouthpiece cover, and remove the speaker, and connect the squib's leads where it was. Place a high explosive putty, such as C-1 (see section 3.31) in the receiver, and screw the cover on, making sure that the squib is surrounded by the C-1. Hang the phone up, and leave the tape in place. When the individual to whom the phone belongs attempts to answer the phone, he will notice the tape, and remove it. This will allow current to flow through the squib. Note that the device will not explode by merely making a phone call; the owner of the phone must lift up the receiver, and remove the tape. It is highly probable that the phone will be by his/her ear when the device explodes... 5.21 SPECIAL AMMUNITION FOR HANDGUNS If an individual wished to produce explosive ammunition for his/her handgun, he/she could do it, provided that the person had an impact-sensitive explosive and a few simple tools. One would first purchase all lead bullets, and then make or acquire an impact-detonating explosive. By drilling a hole in a lead bullet with a drill, a space could be created for the placement of an explosive. After filling the hole with an explosive, it would be sealed in the bullet with a drop of hot wax from a candle. A diagram of a completed exploding bullet is shown below. _o_ ------------ drop of wax /|*|\ | |*|-|----------- impact-sensitive explosive | |_| | |_____| This hollow space design also works for putting poison in bullets. 7.0 PYROTECHNICA ERRATA There are many other types of pyrotechnics that a perpetrator of violence might employ. Smoke bombs can be purchased in magic stores, and large military smoke bombs can be bought through adds in gun and military magazines. Also, fireworks can also be used as weapons of terror. A large aerial display rocket would cause many injuries if it were to be fired so that it landed on the ground near a crowd of people. Even the "harmless" pull-string fireworks, which consists of a sort of firecracker that explodes when the strings running through it are pulled, could be placed inside a large charge of a sensitive high explosive. Tear gas is another material that might well be useful to the sociopath, and such a material could be instantly disseminated over a large crowd by means of a rocket-bomb, with nasty effects. PART 2 - Tennis ball cannons ------ Information from the Usenet. The Usenet is a worldwide network of 15,000 machines and over 500,000 people- And growing! At this time (twelve years ago) most soft drink cans were rolled tin rather than the molded aluminum. We would cut the tops and bottoms off of a bunch of them and tape them together with duct tape, forming a tube of two feet or more. At the end we would tape a can with the bottom intact, more holes punched (with a can opener) around the top, and a small hole in the side at the base. We then fastened this contraption to a tripod so we could aim it reliably. Any object that came somewhat close to filling the tube was then placed therein. In the shop, we used the clock as a target and an empty plastic solder spool as ammunition, with tape over the ends of the center hole and sometimes filled with washers for weight. When taken to parties or picnics, we would use whatever was handy. Hot dog rolls or napkins filled with potato chips provided spectacular entertainment. Once loaded, a small amount of lighter fluid was poured into the hole in the side of the end can and allowed to vaporize for a few moments. The "fire control technician" would announce "Fire in the Hole" and ignite it. BOOM! Whoosh! The clock never worked after that! ---------- Our version of the potatoe chip cannon, was built similarly. Ours used coke cans, six with the top and bottom removed, and the seventh had church key holes all around one end. This was spiral wrapped with at least two rolls of duct tape. A wooden shoulder rest and forward hand grip was taped to the tube. For ignition we used lantern batteries to a model-t coil, actuated by a push button on the hand grip. A fresh wilson tennis ball was stuffed all the way back to the grid, and a drop or two of lighter fluid was dropped in one of two holes in the end. The ignition wire was poked through the other hole. We would then lie in ambush, waiting for somthing to move. When fired with the proper air/fuel mixture, a satisfying thoomp! At maximum range the ball would travel about 100 yards with a 45 degree launch angle. Closer up the ball would leave a welt on an warring opponent. When launched at a moving car the thud as it hit the door would generally rattle anyone inside. Luckily we never completed the one that shot golf balls. PART 3 - Fun with dry ice. LOTS of fun with dry ice. Also from ------ the Usenet. XXXX@XXXXX.XXX.COM (XXXX XXXXX) writes: >... if you fill a pot with boiling water, then add some dishsoap, and >then drop in a large chunk of dry ice, you get a large number of >bubbles VERY quickly. We're talking terabubbles. Do this outside or >you will be sorry. >Has anyone ever thrown dry ice into a public pool? As long as you >chuck it into the bottom of the deep end, it's safe, and it's really >impressive if the water is warm enuff With CO2 flame extinguisher at the ready, here goes -- from _FM 10-0: TRICKS, AWFUL_ (includes material from rec.humor): DRY ICE Time Bombs: 1. Get a small plastic container with lid (we used the small plastic cans that hold the coaters used for large-format Polaroid film). A film canister would probably work; the key is, it should seal tightly and take a fair amount of effort to open). Place a chunk of dry ice in the can, put on the lid without quite sealing it. Put the assembled bomb in your pocket, or behind your back. Approach the mark and engage in normal conversation. When his attention is drawn away, quickly seal the lid on the bomb, deposit it somewhere within a few feet of the mark, out of obvious sight, then leave. Depending on variables (you'll want to experiment first), you'll hear a loud "pop" and an even louder "Aarrggghhh!" within a minute, when the CO2 pressure becomes sufficient to blow off the lid. In a cluttered lab, this is doubly nasty because the mark will proabably never figure out what made the noise. 2. Put 2-3 inches of water in a 2-liter plastic pop bottle. Put in as many chunks of dry ice as possible before the smoke gets too thick. Screw on the cap, place in an appropriate area, and run like hell. After about a minute (your mileage may vary), a huge explosion will result, spraying water everywhere, along with what's left of the 2- liter bottle. More things to do with Dry Ice: "I put it in my teacher's coffee. (Holy sh-t, the place is on fire!)" "Throw it in toilets. (Creature from the Brown Lagoon)" "Make soda from ordinary juice, etc." "Blow up balloons and condoms with it (Put a chunk in a balloon, tie up the end.)" "Fun stuff. It SCREAMS when it comes into contact with metal..." "You can safely hold a small piece of dry ice in your mouth if you KEEP IT MOVING CONSTANTLY. It looks like you're smoking or on fire." Fluorescein (the stuff in navy-surplus sea dye markers) is effective in swimming pools. Or try a "Baby Ruth" candy bar... Hydrogen Pressure Device: ========================= Materials Needed: Bottle or jar, acid, aluminum foil, cloth [optional]. Seltzer Bottles have given better results overall, but a jar will usually do the job. A strong cap or lid is also needed to prevent the hydrogen gas from escaping. Many acids [or even bases] will work with the aluminum foil. We have had success with muriatic acid [which is inexpensive, and easy to get] and hydrochloric acid. A base such as Milk of Magnesia or Liquid Plumr should also work with the aluminum foil. If you are using an acid, other metals besides aluminum should work. Zinc and magnesium are two such metals. Procedure: Fill approximately 1/6 of your bottle with your acid/base. Put two or three rolled up, cigar-shaped pieces of aluminum foil in the bottle, and when ready, cap tightly. Shake the bottle to cover all of the aluminum with acid, and quickly get out of the area. A typical explosion will spread glass over a 35 yard radius. You can experiment with your materials to find the optimum amounts of acid/base and metal that you will need. Caution must be used with fast reactions [i.e. Hydrochloric acid with Zinc] so that the bomb won't explode too too early. To achieve a "fireball" effect, tie a burning cloth to the bottle. When the explosion occurs, the flaming rag will ignite the released hydrogen; producing a brief fireball. Observations: The explosion is relatively loud; being greater than that of a shotgun firing. Debris is usually spread over a 25-35 yard radius. On occaision, it will take several minutes for the bomb's pressure to build up. If you are unsure about the state of the device, we recommend that you wait at least 5 minutes before going near the bomb. You might want to break the bottle from a distance by shooting it with a gun or throwing rocks at it. We cannot emphasize how important it is for you to clear the area as quickly as possible. Don't waste time by messing with the burning cloth! If you're going to use the cloth, ignite it quickly. We had one of these blow up only seconds after we cleared the area. One should value his life more than he values a comparatively worthless bomb! Carbon Dioxide Pressure Device: =============================== Materials: Bottle or jar, dry ice, water [optional]. As with the hydrogen device, we have had greater success with seltzer bottles than with jars. Once again, it is assumed that you have a good cap or lid to prevent the carbon dioxide gas from escaping. Dry Ice can usually be bought from an ice cream store for under $1.50 a pound. Dry ice does not keep long [it becomes gaseous at -109 F] and refridgeration will help little. Water can be used to speed up the device's reaction. Procedure: Break the dry ice into chunks that will fit in your bottle. The more dry ice you have, the faster the reaction. Cap the bottle tightly, and quickly clear the area. If you need a fast reaction, add water to the bottle before capping. The reaction's speed increases with warmer water. Be careful not to get a reaction that is too fast. People have had these devices blow up in their faces because they used hot water and didn't clear the area fast enough. Take into consideration the temperature of your site and excercise caution on hot days. We strongly advise against using hot water in this bomb! [Unless, of course, you have a death wish] Observations: The is a very economical and simple bomb. It can be extremely dangerous if the user is careless. By using water of different temperatures, one can roughly control the speed of this bomb's reaction. We've had a few close calls with this bomb, so we don't use water in it anymore. The reaction goes fast enough without water. Carbon Dioxide Pressure Device II: ================================== Materials: Bottle or jar, baking soda, vinegar, tissue paper. This is another carbon dioxide producing bomb. It is generally less effective than the two previous bombs we have described. Procedure: Fill about 1/5 of your bottle with vinegar. Next take some tissue paper [Kleenex or toilet paper] and wrap it around as much baking soda as possible. You may want to use a few pieces of tissue paper. The more tissue paper you use, the longer the delay will be for the reaction. When ready, drop the wrapped baking soda into the bottle, cap the bottle *quickly*, and [need we say?] run! If the bomb never explodes, that means there wasn't enough pressure. On your next try, add more vinegar and use more baking soda. Observations: Experimentation is the key to perfecting this bomb. Of course, be extremely careful, and don't stick around after capping. The materials for this bomb are common household items, making it more convienient to produce than the other two bombs. Acetylene Pressure Device: ========================== Materials: Jar, calcium carbide, water, cardboard. This is a very deadly device. Carbide, when in contact with water, produces the ultra-flammable acetylene gas. Procedure: Fill about 1/3 of the jar with water. Next, cut out a piece of cardboard that is roughly the diameter of the jar. Push this inside the jar about 1/2 way. Don't let it touch the water! The cardboard should stay where you put it if it's big enough. Now put some carbide onto the cardboard. You don't want the carbide to touch the water. Cap the jar, and when ready, turn it upsidown and shake it a little. The jar should violently explode shortly thereafter. If you want, leave a burning rag next to the bottle and you'll have a fireball. Have the rag lit before you shake the jar! Don't waste any time next to the jar after shaking it! This is a very deadly bomb, and you don't want to be its victim. Observations: This is a very dangerous, yet spectacular bomb. Needless to say, it's also quite loud. If you don't know where to get carbide, try a good sporting goods store. It's used in some miner's lamps. Chlorine Pressure Device: ========================= Materials: Small-medium sized jar, 1 or 2 large test tubes, acid, bleach. This is a fairly tricky bomb to make. Clorine is not a good gas to mess with so use care with this device. Chlorine can blind you and damage your lungs. Procedure: Fill one test tube with acid, and fill 1/3 of the jar with bleach. Put the acid filled test tube in the jar and tape it to the side of the jar. If your jar is large, you will want to fill two test tubes with acid. When ready, cap the jar and turn it upside-down. Run to a nice viewing location and watch the explosion! Don't go too near; chlorine is powerful stuff. Observations: This pressure device not only makes a nice explosion, but spreads chlorine around the area. Try to get a small jar and big test tubes for this bomb. If you have a big jar and small test tubes, there won't be enough pressure to cause an explosion Phosgene Pressure Device: ========================= Materials: Small-medium sized jar, 1 or 2 large test tubes, ammonia, bleach. This bomb has the same setup as the chlorine bomb, but uses ammonia instead of acid to react with the bleach. Phosgene is also a dangerous gas and was used in World War I in chemical weapons. Procedure: Use the same procedure as the chlorine device, but use ammonia instead of acid. First, try putting the ammonia in the test tube and the bleach in the jar. If that doesn't create enough pressure put the ammonia in the jar and the bleach in the test tube. Observations: This is almost identical to the chlorine bomb. The only difference is that they make different gasses. These last two bombs are not as reliable as other bombs in this manuscript, but you can experiment to get the best results. Radar Detectors!!!! Part one: Operation. Police Radar works via the doppler effect, best demonstrated by sound rather than microwaves. The doppler effect is the relation of speed to the pitch of 'sound'. Sometime, all of you must have had the distinct pleasure of being honked at by a motorist on the go, you might have noticed that the horn <an F flat on most american cars> begins with a higher pitch and as the car passes, drowns off to a lower tone. The sound waves at the front of the car are pressed together by the forward motion of the car, creating a higher pitch. As the car passes, the tone dies off to a lower pitch because the waves are spread out. Police radar works in much the same way. The major differences are the frequency and the concentration of the carrier. As of 1988, the F.C.C. is rumored to have lifted restrictions on police radar frequencies. Before, only two frequencies were approved for police radar use. X-band <10.525 GHz> which is most commonly used, and K-band <24.15 Ghz>. I will assume for now, due to lack of any SOLID evidence supporting the restriction lift, that those are the only two in operation. Police radar 'beams' are similar in shape to a flashlight beam. They begin with a thin width and cone outwards with distance. Most guns operating at the X-band level have a range of about 2000 ft., although high power units can exceed 2500 and 3000ft., and K-band guns fall shorter at about 1200 ft.. At 1500ft., the radar beam becomes about the width of four highway lanes, so for practical purposes radars range is around 1700 ft.. A radar signal transmitted from the 'Radar Gun's' transmitter, (called the oscillator) will bounce off a object and return to the radar receiver (or antenna). If the object is moving, the frequency of the beam will be altered as it bounces. This is most easily visualized watching water ripples. Assume now that I have just dropped a pebble in a pond, and the ripples are moving outward, assume also for purposes of simplicity that the ripples are moving at 1 foot per second, and that they are one foot apart. The ripples are therefore also one second apart. Upon bouncing off a stationary object the ripples will return weakened, but at the same interval and speed <Not really the same speed, but let's not complicate things>. Now let us assume that a toy boat is traveling in the water at .5 ft. per second, 1/2 the speed of the ripples, away from the point which I dropped the pebble. Assume the first ripple has hit the boat and is traveling back. The second ripple now traveling at 1 foot per second is only gaining on the boat by .5 feet per second <1 ft. per second - .5 ft. per second>. This means that the ripple is one foot away from the boat, as the ripples are one foot apart. The ripple will take 2 second to reach the boat, as the closure speed is .5 ft. per second and the distance is 1 foot. The ripple strikes the boat and bounces back two seconds after the first ripple. The process works inversely for an object moving towards the pebbles point of impact. As the distance between the ripples can be determined by the speed, on the other side, the speed can be determined by the distance between the ripples. Police radar works in the same way with microwaves. The microwave signal bounces off a moving vehicle and returns altered in frequency. In this way the radar unit determines the speed of the object. Radar is only accurate when the object is moving directly at, or directly away from the gun, although some modern guns will account for this 'COSINE error', most won't. Cosine error can be defined as this: When a radar signal bounces off an object at an angle from the objects direction of travel it will return a portion of the objects speed computed by the cosine of the infraction angle. If the angle of the objects direction and the radars direction is 20 degrees the speed returned by the radar is 93.97% of the objects actual speed. cos (20) = .93969262 * objects speed = returned speed. For example: A car is traveling at 75 m.p.h.. The state trooper, in his infinite wisdom, decides to "Clock" the automobile in hopes of meeting his quota for the month. Picking up his handy radar gun, he aims, and fires an invisible beam of microwave energy. The officer however, being the rookie he is, leaves a high angle between the cars direction and his beam of 45 degrees. Cos (45) = .707106781 .707106781 * 75m.p.h. = 53.03300859 53 m.p.h. is displayed on the officers screen. Lucky motorist. Sorry 40 column users. | |\ | \ | \ - Cosine Error - | \ | 45 \ | deg.\ - radar beam | \ | \ v \ Direction of \ cars travel \ \ X - state trooper. Part 2: Application In 1986, over 15 million speeding tickets were issued, and experts estimate that over 25% of them were in error. Police have been using radar for speed control for many years, and as the technology has become more complex and accurate, so has the ability to get away with the slight infractions of the speed limits set by the government become more difficult. In recent years, the three most damaging advances to motorists in radar technology include: A> Instant on radar. B> K-band radar. and C> Cosine error correcting radar units. Instant on radar. With the increase of radar receivers, or "Detectors" on the roads, police have attempted to bypass the motorists first line of defense. The most damaging advance in the war against speeding motorists is instant on radar. The idea behind instant on radar is to make the radar detector useless to the motorist by making his warning too late to react to. Instant on radar was developed in early 1983, but never marketed until late 1984 when the michigan state troopers were equipped with the first instant on radar guns. It operates by deactivating the oscillator until triggered by the officer. When used properly and under the right traffic conditions, it is indefensible. It works like a camera, the officer operating the radar will position himself behind a blind corner or over a hill. When the approaching car crests the hill or rounds the corner, the officer will activate the oscillator, taking a "snapshot" of your car. As microwaves travel at the speed of light, any attempt at slowing down is futile, the officer behind the gun has your speed in less than a tenth of a second. K-band Radar. When radar detectors were first marketed by the markers of ESCORT, there was only one type of radar. X-band. In an attempt to increase the dwindling speeding ticket revenue, K-band was brought to life. K-band is a different frequency that could not be picked up by the primitive detectors of the age. However, as the frequency got out, the detectors adapted, and now any detector worth a dollar will detect both X and K bands. K band is more dangerous as most K-band guns are instant on and they have less 'Splash' and range than X-band guns. This means that a K-band signal is probably closer to you. Cosine error correcting guns. Cosine error was a major falling of radar in the judicial system, all readings were under question in court, the result was a gun which will correct for cosine error by determining the angle which the radar beam "impacts" with the car. Also new in correcting cosine error were guns with 'Speed lock on' in which the highest speed reading received by the gun is locked in and displayed. Moving radar guns. Until new developments, all radar units had to remain stationary as radar measures only closure speed, and not actual speed. Moving radar ended this trend. Moving radar works like this. First the radar gun determines the patrol cars speed by clocking a sign or fixed object. The closing speed of the patrol car to the sign is subtracted from the now taken closing speed to the target car. Patrols speed - 60 m.p.h. Closing speed to car - 120 m.p.h. 120 m.p.h. - 60 m.p.h. = 60 m.p.h.. Part 3: Defense From the dawn of speed enforcement, motorists have sought to defeat the laws, starting with detectors, continuing to jammers and topping out with the new 'CHiPs detectors' The unfortunate conditions now favor the police and law enforcement officials with the introduction of new radar technologies such as instant on radar. Detectors: The simple radar receiver is the first line of defense from radar. Varied in operation and features, the radar detectors of today are designed to provide high sensitivity and low rates of false alarms. Good detectors will measure signal strength and type <K or X> and have an effective range of about 3000 ft. and a probable range of well over a mile. Sensitivity tops out around 110.5 dBm/cm^2 for X band and 108 dBm/cm^2 for K band <Both set by the passport>. A detector can give you an excellent advantage over radar by alerting you it's there. Detectors become especially useful in chicago where instant on radar is not typically used. Jammers: Radar jammers are essentially units that transmit microwaves at a frequency dictating a certain speed. The result is regardless of your speed, the police radar unit will display the speed you set the jammer to transmit. Jammers are highly illegal and will be confiscated if discovered, expect a stiff fine. Chip's detector. This is a new device, which is really a scanner on the police radio band. It takes advantage of a signal transmitted by the patrol cars in some states as part of their dispatch system. The signal carries for about three miles, and the Chip's Detector will alert you if you are within that range of a highway patrol unit. It also allows scanning of police radio channels. Last words. Radar is a basically accurate instrument, when used properly, it can be deadly. As I have said before instant on radar is impossible to avoid when there is no other traffic around, regardless of a detector. The only thing that comes close is a Radar Jammer, which will most likely not serve you well unless it is WELL hidden. Radar jammers are dangerous with the introduction of the HAWK, a radar unit by Kustom Signals, which DETECTS radar jammers in the hold mode. Aside from radar, VASCAR <Visual average speed computer and recorder> is a new danger to motorists. It is basically a stopwatch used to time your movement between two point of which the interval distance is known. Using the formula Average velocity = distance / time, the state trooper can determine your speed without setting off your detector. Instant on radar defense. The only real defense for instant on radar is traffic. Traffic will cause the trooper to activate his radar gun more often, cluing you into his presence. A jammer well hidden will help, but the best technique is to follow a car making good time. Any police units in the area will clock him first, and legally they have to ticket him, unless you're too close. Remember: Do not speed, it is a dangerous practice, and I can not be responsible for any injury, or action due to this file, it is for informational purposes only. The state troopers enforce speed limits for your safety. Radar guns: Models. Radar guns are manufactured by many different companies, but the primary ones are Kustom Signals, M.p.h. Industries, and Decatur. The deadliest gun now available is the HAWK manufactured by Kustom Signals. It is the first gun capable of clocking cars moving the SAME direction as the patrol car. It has two antennas, one forward, and one back. Like I stated before, it is also the first gun capable of detecting radar jammers. These run about 2000$ Kr-11 This gun is a two piece model which uses a weak pulse signal in the moving mode to determine the patrol car's speed while not triggering detectors. This gun permits a faster clocking time for instant on moving radar, it runs about $1200 Falcon This is a hand held gun operating on K band Small and compact it is preferred among law enforcement radars. It runs about 600$ Hr-4 Hr-8 Hr-12 400,500,750$ respectively, these are hand held radar guns made by Kustom Signals Prices for radar units range from 250-2000$ I personally enjoy harassing that 911 who barrels by at 95 with a detector. {=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=} {=--=} Picking Combination Locks {=--=} {=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=}{=--=} Ok, so ya say ya wanna learn how to pick combination locks...If you do this right, it will help you. First of all, let me tell you about the set-up of a lock. When the lock is locked, there is a curved piece of metal wedged inside the little notch on the horseshoe shaped bar that is pushed in to the lock when you lock it. To free this wedge, you usually have to turn the lock to the desired combination and the pressure on the wedge is released therefore letting the lock open. I will now tell you how to make a pick so you can open a lock without having to waste all that time turning the combination (this also helps when ya don't know the combination to begin with). First of all, ya need to find a hairpin. What's a hairpin? Well, just ask your mom. She will have one. If she asks what its for, say ya gotta hold something together... If she says use a rubberband or use a paperclip, tell her to fuck off and die and then go to the store and rip off a box of 50 or so. Once you have your hair pin (make sure its metal), take the ridged side and break it off right before it starts to make a U-turn onto the straight side. The curved part can now be used as a handle. Now, using a file, file down the other end until it is fairly thin. You should do this to many hairpins and file them so they are of different thicknesses so you can pick various locks. Some locks are so cheap that ya don't even have ta file! But most are not. Ok, now you have a lock pick. Now if ya haven't figured it out, here's how ya use it. You look at a lock to see which side the lock opens from. If you can't tell, you will just have to try both sides. When ya find out what side it opens from, take the lock pick and stick the filed end into the inside of the horseshoe-shaped bar on whichever side the lock opens from. Now, put pressure on the handle of the lock pick (pushing down, into the crack) and pull the lock up and down. The lock will then open because the pick separated the wedge and the notch allowing us thieves to open it. Don't say bullshit until you've tried it. Because I have gotten lots of beer money from doin' this to fellow students' gym lockers. Also, this technique works best on American locks. I have never picked a Master lock before because of the shape a pressure of the wedge but if anyone does it, let me know how long it took. Also, the Master lock casing is very tight so ya can't get the pick in. So, if you're locking something valuable up, use a Master, cuz at least ya know I won't be picking it and I'm sure there aren't that many that could. And when I say pick, i don't mean lighting a stick of dynamite next to the lock, picking is opening a lock without using force, making a substitute key, etc... Picking Master Locks Have you ever tried to impress your friends by picking one of those Master combination locks and failed? Well then read on. The Master lock company has made this kind of lock with a protection scheme. If you pull the handle of it hard, the knob won't turn. That was their biggest mistake...... Ok, now on to it. 1st number. Get out any of the Master locks so you know what's going on. 1: The handle part (the part that springs open when you get the combination), pull on it, but not enough so that the knob won't move. 2: While pulling on it turn the knob to the left until it won't move any more. Then add 5 to this number. Congradulations, you now have the 1st number. 2nd number. (a lot tougher) Ok, spin the dial around a couple of times, then go to the 1st number you got, then turn it to the right, bypassing the 1st number once. WHEN you have bypassed. Start pulling the handle and turning it. It will eventually fall into the groove and lock. While in the groove pull on it and turn the knob. If it is loose go to the next groove; if it's stiff you got the second number. 3rd number: After getting the 2nd, spin the dial, then enter the 2 numbers, then after the 2nd, go to the right and at all the numbers pull on it. The lock will eventually open if you did it right. If can't do it the first time, be patient, it takes time. ---------------------------------------- PYROTECHNICAL DELIGHTS ---------------------------------------- MANY OF YOU OUT THERE PROBABLY HAVEFANTASIES OF REVENGE AGAINST TEACHERS, PRINCIPALS AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE JUSTASSHOLES.

THESE LITTLE NASTIES ARE PLACED AT THE BOTTOM OF A MONEY DRAWER AND WHEN THE LAST FEW BILLS ARE WITH- DRAWN A SWITCH CLOSES AND SETS THE ALARM OFF. THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR WITHDRAWL IT'S BEST TO HELP YOUR-SELF SO YOU CAN CHECK FOR THESE LITTLE NASTIES. IF YOU FIND THEM, MERELY INSERT ONES UNDERNEATH THE PILE OF TWENTIES, AND THEN PULL OUT THE TWEN-TIES, LEAVING THE ONE-DOLLAR BILL BEHIND TO PREVENT THE CIRCUIT FROM CLOSING. IF YOU SHOPLIFT AND SEE CAMERAS, LOOK AT THE BRAND. IF IT IS SURVEILLANCE VIDEO SYSTEMS (SVS) YOU NEED NOT WORRY. THESE CAMERAS LOOK REALISTIC TO THE POINT OF PILOT LIGHTS, COAX, AND SCANNING. HOWEVER, THEY ARE ONLY EMPTY BOXES. Preparation of TNT 1. Take two beakers. In the first prepare a solution of 76 percent sulfuric acid, 23 percent nitric acid and 1 percent water. In the other beaker, prepare another solution of 57 percent nitric acid and 43 percent sulfuric acid (percentages are on a weight ratio rather than volume). 2. Ten grams of the first solutions are poured into an empty beaker and placed in an ice bath. 3. Add ten grams of toluene, and stir for several minutes. 4. remove this beaker from the ice bath and gently heat until it reaches 50 degrees C. The solution is stirred constantly while being heated. 5. Fifty additional grams of the acid, from the first beaker, are added and the temperature is held for the next ten minutes, and an oily liquid will begin to form on the top of the acid. 6. After 10 or 12 minutes, the acid solution is returned to the ice bath, and cooled to 45 begrees C> when reaching this temperature, the oily liquid will sink and collect at the bottom of the beaker. At this point, the remaining acid solution should be drawn off, by using a syringe. 7. Fifty more grams of the first acid solution are added to the oily liquid while the temperature is SLOWLY being raised to 83 degrees C. After this temperature is reached, it is maintaind for a full half hour. 8. At the end of this period, he solution is allowed to cool to 60 degrees C>, and is held at this temperature for another full half hour. After this, the acid is again drawn off, leaving once more only the oily liquid at the bottem. 9. Thirty grams of sulfuric acid are added, while the oily liquid is gently heated to 80 degrees C. All temperature increases must be accoumplished slowly and gently. 10.Once the desired temperature is reached, 30 grams of the second acid solution are added, and the temperature is raised from 80 dgregrees C> to 104 degrees C., and is held for three hours. 11.After this three hour period, the mixture is lowered to 100 degrees C. and held there for a half hour. 12.After this half hour, the oil is removed form the acid and washed with boiling water. 13.After the washing with boiling water, while being stired constantly, the TNT will begin to solidify. 14.When the solidification has started, cold water is added to the beaker, so that the TNT will form into pellets. Once this is done, you have a good quality TNT. NOTE: the temperatures used in the preparation of TNT are EXACT, and must be used as such. DO NOT estimate or use aproximations. Buy a good centigrade thermometer. TIME DELAYED CHEMICAL FUSE -------------------------- 1) Put 1 teaspoon full of of potassium permanganate in a tin can. 2) add glycerine 3) wait 3-4 min. 4) get the hell out.. the stuff will smoke, then burst into flame.. ** potasium permanganate stains like iodine but worse [it's purple] ** the reaction will spatter a bit, it can be messy... ** it doesn't matter if the amounts are uneven [ie. 1 part to 3 parts] ALUMINUM KILLER (OVERNIGHT) --------------- silver iodide --> aluminum iodide + aluminum + silver ..or.. AgI + Al --> Ag + AlI ALUMINUM IODIDE is very hydroscopic -- it will absorb water [it will even absorb water out of the air!] SILVER IODIDE eats through aluminum -- the resulting aluminum iodide will >disolve itself< as it aborbs H20 from the air! The final result is aluminum with a wet hole in it. [the wetness is AlI solution] Natural gas flows through millions of miles of piplines in the U.S. One charge will blow up a gas pipeline along miles of its length since the air let into the pipeline by the explosion will cause secondary explosions. Of 65 pipelines,24 carry 97% of the gas which accounts for more than one-third of the nation's total energy supply. Only 4 pipelines connects the gas fields in the South and Southwest to New York and Los Angeles. Maps of the lines can be obtanied from the Department of Energy and by studying industry journals. Oil pipelines can be destroyed by penetrating the central pipeline control system. In one Southern city, which controls oil movement in several states. Yikes! And contrary to the argument advanced by some self-styled specialists and the news media that few possess the technological expertise to use weapons of mass destruction, it is much much easier than you think. There's a book giving location,published in the New York Times,Feb 1979, two large map pinpointing every power station and transmission line from Washington to the Canadian border. Blowing up some of these stations and lines would wipe out the electrical supply of the East Coast. For another example, the a Book called 'Basement Nukes, $6.95, by some guy named, Charles Clark. Title of the book is : Technological Terrorism $10.00 Clark shows how they canb be readily obtained by theft from inefficently guarded nuclear plants and armories. Both of the above mentioned books are readily available to anyone with the buck, how sad,huh...shit! Technological Terrorism is a nightmare scenario,and a serious warning to every one of us. That really screws up the old head. EXPLOSIVES AND INCENDIARIES INTRODUCTION: The trouble with text books on chemistry and explosives is the attitude with which they are written. They don't say, "Now I know you would like to blow holy hell out of something just for the fun of it so here is how to whip up something in your kitchen to do it". They tell you how Dupont does it or how the anchient Chineese did it but not how you can do it with the resourses and materials available to you. Even army manuals on field expedient explosives are almost useless because they are just outlines written with the understanding that an instructor is going to fill in the blanks. It is a fun game to search out the materials that can be put together to make something go "boom". You can find what you need in grocery stores, hardware stores, and farm supplies. An interesting point to remember is that it is much easier to make a big explosion than a small one. It is very difficult for a home experimenter to make a firecracker, but a bomb capable of blowing the walls out of a building is easy. The king of explosives for the do-it-yourselfer is black powder. It is easy to make and when properly confined is capable of devestating power. CLOSEINFORM ootable powder used for spraying. It is cheap and works well. Some drug stores sell sulfur under the name Flowers of Sulfur. If you use Nitrate of Soda, it will be in the form of prills (little round beads). Bake it in an oven at 250 degrees for 10-15 minutes to drive out the moisture. Then dump a cup or two into a blender and switch it on. It will do a beautiful job of reducing it to powder. Buy a bag of charcoal briquettes at a grocery store. Put a few briquettes in a rag and pound with hammer. Dump the result into the blender, grind, then strain through a tea strainer. Mix by volume: 6 parts potassium or Sodium Nitrate, 2 parts powdered charcoal, 1 part sulfur. This mixture will burn if ignited and will explode if ignited while tightly confined. It can be greatly improved, however, by processing it as follows: Moisten with water until it will stick together when pinched between thumb and finger. Press it into a disposable aluminum pie pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 250 degrees for about 30 minutes--get it totally dry. Grind into as fine a powder as possible. A mortar and pestle is best. If you use a blender at this point, there is a danger of explosion. It is not very sensative to friction or impact, but is very sensative to sparks. If you followed these directions, you should have a fine slate-grey powder. When baking black powder, remember to preheat the oven. Place your pie pan approximately in the center of the oven. Do not set it on the bottom of the oven. These warnings are to prevent hot spots that could ignite the powder causing a fire or explosion. Something went wrong once when my father-in-law was doing this and it blew the door right off the oven. His training in military demolitions included field expedient explosives. The point is that things can go wrong even when you know what you are doing. Protect yourself at all times. Use common sense. Wear safety glasses; don't stand in front of oven, etc. HOW TO MAKE BLACKMATCH FUSE: Take a flat piece of plastic or metal (brass or aluminum are easy to work with and won't rust). Drill a 1/16th inch hole through it. This is your die for sizing the fuse. You can make fuses as big as you want, but this is the right size for the pipe bomb I will be getting to later. To about 1/2 cup of black powder add water to make a thin paste. Add 1/2 teaspoon of corn starch. Cut some one foot lengths of cotton thread. Use cotton, not silk or thread made from synthetic fibers. Put these together until you have a thickness that fills the hole in the die but can be drawn through very easily. Tie your bundle of threads together at one end. Separate the threads and hold the bundle over the black powder mixture. Lower the threads with a circular motion so they start curling onto the mixture. Press them under with the back of a teaspoon and continue lowering them so they coil into the paste. Take the end you are holding and thread it through the die. Pull it through smoothly in one long motion. To dry your fuse, lay it on a piece of aluminum foil and bake it in your 250 degree oven or tie it to a grill in the oven and let it hang down. The fuse must be baked to make it stiff enough for the uses it will be put to later. Air drying will not do the job. If you used Sodium Nitrate, it will not even dry completely at room temperatures. Cut the dry fuse with sissors into 2 inch lengths and store in an air tight container. Handle this fuse carefuly to avoid breaking it. You can also use a firecracker fuse if you have any available. The fuses can usually be pulled out without breaking. To give yourself some running time, you will be extending these fuses (blackmatch or firecracker fuse) with sulfured wick. HOW TO MAKE SULFURED WICK: Use heavy cotton string about 1/8th inch in diameter. You can find some at a garden supply for tieing up your tomatoes. Be sure it's cotton. You can test it by lighting one end. It sould continue to burn after the match is removed and when blown out will have a smoldering coal on the end. Put some sulfur in a small container like a small pie pan and melt it in the oven at 250 degrees. It will melt into a transparent yellow liquid. If it starts turning brown, it is too hot. Coil about a one foot length of string into it. The melted sulfur will soak in quickly. When saturated, pull it out and tie it up to cool and harden. It can be cut to desired lengths with sissors. 2 inches is about right. These wicks will burn slowly with a blue flame and do not blow out easily in a moderate wind. They will not burn through a hole in a metal pipe, but are great for extending your other fuse. They will not throw off sparks. Blackmatch generates sparks which can ignite it along its length causing unpredictable burning times. Now you have the basic ingredients to shake the earth like thunder. In the next installment or two, I will tell you how to put it all together to do just that. You will find that you have baked a very deadly pie. I have twice been accused of setting off dynamite in the woods. The explosive power of your little grey powder may exceed your expectations, so choose your testing ground with care. HOW TO MAKE ROCKET FUEL: This is easy to make and fun to play with. Mix equal parts by volume Potassium or Sodium Nitrate and granulated sugar. Pour a big spoonful of this into a pile. Stick a piece of blackmatch fuse into it; light; and step back. This is also a very hot incendiary. A little imagination will suggest a lot of experiments for this. ANOTHER ROCKET FUEL: Mix equal parts by volume of zinc dust and sulfur. Watch out if you experiment with this. It goes off in a sudden flash. It is not a powerful explosive, but is violent stuff even when not confined because of its fast burning rate. --- As I continue from this point some of the ingredients are going to be harder to get without going through a chemical supply. I try to avoid this. I happen to know that B. Prieser Scientific has been instructed by the police to send them the names of anyone buying chemicals in certain combinations. For example, if a person were to buy Sulfuric acid, Nitric acid and Toluene (the makings for TNT) in one order the police would be notified. I will do the best I can to tell you how to make the things you need from commonly available materials, but I don't want to leave out something really good because you might have to scrounge for an ingredient. I am guessing you would prefer it that way. HOW TO MAKE CONCENTRATED SULFURIC ACID FROM BATTERY ACID Go to an auto supply store and ask for "a small battery acid". This should only cost a few dollars (about 4 dollars). What you will get is about a gallon of dilute sulfuric acid. Put a pint of this into a heat resistant glass container. The glass pitchers used for making coffee are perfect. Do not use a metal container. Use an extension cord to set up a hotplate out doors. Boil the acid until white fumes appear. As soon as you see the white fumes, turn off the hot plate and let the acid cool. Pour the now concentrated acid into a glass container. The container must have a glass stopper or plastic cap -- no metal. It must be air tight. Otherwize, the acid will quickly absorb moisture from the air and become diluted. Want to know how to make a time bomb that doesn't tick and has no wires or batteries? Hold on to your acid and follow me into the next installment. HOW TO MAKE A CHEMICAL TIME DELAY FUSE: To get an understanding of how this is going to work, mix up equal parts by volume Potassium chlorate and granulated sugar. Pour a spoonful of the mixture in a small pile and make a depression in the top with the end of a spoon. Using a medicine dropper, place one drop of concentrated sulfuric acid in the depression and step back. It will snap and crackle a few times and then burst into vigorous flames. To make the fuse, cut about 2 inches off a plastic drinking straw. Tamp a small piece of cotton in one end. On top of this put about an inch of the clorate/sugar mixture. Now lightly tamp in about a quarter inch of either glass wool or asbestos fibers. Secure this with the open end up and drop in 3 or 4 drops of sulfuric acid. After a few minutes the acid will soak through the fibers and ignite the mixture. The time delay can be controled by the amount of fiber used and by varying how tightly it is packed. Don't use cotton for this. The acid will react with cotton and become weakened in the process. By punching a hole in the side of the straw, a piece of blackmatch or other fuse can be inserted and used to set off the device of your choice. Potassium chlorate was very popular with the radical underground. It can be used to make a wide variety of explosives and incendiaries, some of them extremely dangerous to handle. The radicals lost several people that way. HOW TO MAKE AN ELECTRIC FUSE: Take a flashlight bulb and place it glass tip down on a file. Grind it down on the file until there is a hole in the end. Solder one wire to the case of the bulb and another to the center conductor at the end. Fill the bulb with black powder or powdered match head. One or two flashlight batteries will heat the fillament in the bulb causing the powder to ignite. ANOTHER ELECTRIC FUSE: Take a medium grade of steel wool and pull a strand out of it. Attach it to the ends of two pieces of copper wire by wrapping it around a few turns and then pinch on a small piece of solder to bind the strand to the wire. You want about 1/2 inch of steel strand between the wires. Number 18 or 20 is a good size wire to use. Cut a 1/2 by 1 inch piece of cardboard of the type used in match covers. Place a small pile of powdered match head in the center and press it flat. place the wires so the steel strand is on top of and in contact with the powder. Sprinkle on more powder to cover the strand. The strand should be surounded with powder and not touching anything else except the wires at its ends. Place a piece of blackmatch in contact with the powder. Now put a piece of masking tape on top of the lot, and fold it under on the two ends. Press it down so it sticks all around the powder. The wires are sticking out on one side and the blackmatch on the other. A single flashlight battery will set this off. ELECTRIC FUSE # 3: An excellent electric fuse can be bought ready made at hobby and toy stores. They are sold for setting off model rockets. How to get Revenge on Someone ----------------------------- Everyone has an enemy that they would like to seek revenge on without the victim knowing who the aggressor is. Here are ways that have been proven effective in the field of harrasing and/or annoying someone. Call the news papers, and adverise an arctile similar to this: "You too can make calls free through MCI, ITT, and other long distance services just by making a local call. For more information, send a self-adressed stamped envlope to:(fill in name and adress with zip code)" After this has appeared in the papers, inform your local FBI agent or police officer of his ad. You can also advertise an ad like this: "Apple //e, 128k, 2 disk drives, Amdek Color 3 Monitor, Hayes Smartmodem 1200, and much more. $750 or best offer. (phone number)". Another prank is to call house at all hours, and post on all boards that a new bulletin board is opening up at his number. Get everyone you know to call him at all times (preferably late at night. Call answering machines, and give the persons number and tell them to call right away. Also during the day you can look up people in the phone that have a "Mr. and Mrs." there, and the wife will probably be home, but not the husband, so tell the wife to tell the husband to call your victim as soon as possible and give number. Call Taxi's, Exterminators, Pizza deliverys, Catorers, Garages, Plumers, Dog Funeral Homes, Flower and Ballon deliverys, Moving Services, Singing and Striptease telegrams, Junkyards to remove garbage, report robberies and fires at his/her house, Locksmiths, order oil from several companies (heating oil), order family portraits taken at their home, sign him/her up for the army, call realtors to put house for sale, Septic cleaners, house remodelers, call Bell + tell you are having with phone, call cable company, and call phone sex lines that call back and give his number to call back. Order plane tickets, send brochures of all shit like colleges, beauty schools, and all other things that send info. on their place, and adress it to: "DICK" and his last name. To have a little phun, drop by his house one day, tie a chain to the back of you truck/car and the other end to the victims mailbox. Take off, and no more mailbox. Also, throw eggs at house and cars, piss on cars and is gas tank of cars. Get 300 sheets+ of paper and put in a paper shreader and after it is in 1" by 1" pieces, throw all over his lawn in various places. Another fun thing is to bring along a baseball bat and knock the shit out of his mailbox. Send mail with not enough postage to them, and wrap up bricks and rocks and put no return adress on them and drop in a mailbox. Get a library card out in his name, and take out books and don't return them. Lay tacks on either side of tires of his car so either way he will run over them. Take weed killer, and pour it on his flower garden or put your initials on his front yard with it so it will show up with dead grass. You can also use the old trick of laying dog shit on his front porch. Pour grease all over driveway and steps, dump your garbage cans over front yard, when he puts his garbage at the end of the driveway, dump the cans over the street so he will have to pick it up in the morning. Smear warm tar on his car windshield, and that shit isn't coming off. Crazy Glue or stick gum over and in his car locks, and if he goes to school do the same to his locker. Catch fish, and let them sit out in the sun for a day, and that night lay the fish in their front yard. Lay cow shit in their air conditioner, and stick sticks in the between the fan blades for the air conditioner. The toilet paper around their trees is always good, and wet toilet paper and stand out in the street and whip them at their house, and when it dries, it is hard as rock stuck to their house. If they leave toys out, stick skate- boards under car tires, rip heads off of dolls, pull seats out bikes, and let air out of bike tires. You can also ride by in the car with your BB gun, and try your target practice. Some of this has been tried, and some not, but remember that it is best to be near them when these happen, so you can see their faces. Never hint who you are, and warn that you are not finshed yet. The best weapon you have is your phone, because they can't keep their phone off the hook 24 hrs. a day. If they take the phone off the hook, try back in 1/2 hour, and it will be back on. Most of these have been proven effective, and the others will most likely effective. We have sat here for hours thinking of every possible method of harrasing, bothing, and annoying someone to the point of insanity. ->MEDIUM EXPLOSIVE<- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1) MIX: 7 PARTS POTASSIUM CHLORATE -------------------------- 1 PART VASELINE 2) TO IGNITE, USE AN ELECTRIC CHARGE OR A FUSE. ]]]]]]]]]]#[[[[[[[[[[ ]] LOCK PICKING [[ ]]]]]]]]]]#[[[[[[[[[[ SO YOU WANT TO BE A CRIMINAL.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANOTHER ITEM OR TWO DEVOTED TO THESE OTHER WAYS, LET THE SYSOP KNOW. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $ BLOWING UP A CAR $ $ ------- -- - --- $ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ The best methods of blowing up a car requires getting under the hood. Explosives are placed as near the occupants as possilbe. The fuse, homemade, commercial or safetey, is wrapped a few turns around the exhause manifold. After a few minutes on the road the exhaust manifold gets almost red hot and ignites the fuse. This way is more certain than wiring the car because since it blows up on the road the wreck will do the victem in even if the blast doesn't. Besides, if the intended victim is a passenger instead of the driver, the driver may start the engine before the passenger gets into the car... You can see how embarrassing that would be to the bomber, can't you? Old-fashioned types, like the Mafia, love to wire cars. They are too set in thier ways to change and besides, they get a charge out of seeing a car blow up before thier eyes instead of imagining it going to hell on the road. They usually use about three sticks of dynamite, two lengths of electric wire with two alligator clips for quick attachment, and an electric blasting cap. The cap is stuck into a dynamite stick and its two wires are connected to the two electric wires. Then one alligator clip is clamped to the input side of the coil and the other is fastened to any metal surface in the car's frame as a ground. This is very simple and you'd think anyone could do it. But sure enough, there are always morons who will attach one clamp to a spark plug and one to a ground. This usually results in misfires and no end of frustrations. B. AMMONAL: AMMONAL IS A MIXTURE OF AMMONIUM NITRATE (A STRONG OXIDIZER) WITH ALUMINUM POWDER (THE 'FUEL' IN THIS CASE). I AM NOT SURE OF THE % COMPOSITION FOR AMMON AL, SO YOU MAY WANT TO EXPERIMENT A LITTLE USING SMALL AMOUNTS. C. CHEMICALLY IGNITED EXPLOSIVES: 1. A MIXTURE OF 1 PART POTASSIUM CHLORATE TO 3 PARTS TABLE SUGAR (SUCROSE) BU RNS FIERCELY AND BRIGHTLY (SIMILAR TO THE BURNING OF MAGNESIUM) WHEN 1 DROP OF CONCENTRATED SULFURIC ACID IS PLACED ON IT. WHAT OCCURS IS THIS: WHEN THE ACID IS ADDED IT REACTS WITH THE POTASSIUM CHLORATE TO FORM CHLORINE DIOXIDE, WHICH EXPLODES ON FORMATION, BURNING THE SUGAR AS WELL. 2. USING VARIOUS CHEMICALS, I HAVE DEVELOPED A MIXTURE THAT WORKS VERY WELL F OR IMITATING VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS. I HAVE GIVEN IT THE NAME 'MPG VOLCANITE' (TM). HERE IT IS: POTASSIUM CHLORATE + POTASSIUM PERCHLORATE + AMMONIUM NITRATE + AM MONIUM DICHROMATE + POTASSIUM NITRATE + SUGAR + SULFUR + IRON FILINGS + CHARCOA L + ZINC DUST + SOME COLORING AGENT. (SCARLET= STRONTIUM NITRATE, PURPLE= IODIN E CRYSTALS, YELLOW= SODIUM CHLORIDE, CRIMSON= CALCIUM CHLORIDE, ETC...). 3. SO, DO YOU THINK WATER PUTS OUT FIRES? IN THIS ONE, IT STARTS IT. MIXTURE: AMMONIUM NITRATE + AMMONIUM CHLORIDE + IODINE + ZINC DUST. WHEN A DROP OR TWO OF WATER IS ADDED, THE AMMONIUM NITRATE FORMS NITRIC ACID WHICH REACTS WITH THE ZINC TO PRODUCE HYDROGEN AND HEAT. THE HEAT VAPORIZES THE IODINE (GIVING OFF P URPLE SMOKE) AND THE AMMONIUM CHLORIDE (BECOMES PURPLE WHEN MIXED WITH IODINE V APOR). IT ALSO MAY IGNITE THE HYDROGEN AND BEGIN BURNING. AMMONIUM NITRATE: 8 GRAMS AMMONIUM CHORIDE: 1 GRAM ZINC DUST: 8 GRAMS IODINE CRYSTALS: 1 GRAM 4. POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE + GLYCERINE WHEN MIXED PRODUCES A PURPLE- COLORED FL AME IN 30 SECS-1 MIN. WORKS BEST IF THE POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE IS FINELY GROUND . 5. CALCIUM CARBIDE + WATER RELEASES ACETYLENE GAS (HIGHLY FLAMMABLE GAS USED IN BLOW TORCHES...) II. THERMITE REACTION. THE THERMITE REACTION IS USED IN WELDING, BECAUSE IT GENERATES MOLTEN IRON AN D TEMPERATURES OF 3500 C (6000F+). IT USES ONE OF THE PREVIOUS REACTIONS THAT I TALKED ABOUT TO START IT! STARTER=POTASSIUM CHLORATE + SUGAR MAIN PT.= IRON (III) OXIDE + ALUMINUM POWDER (325 MESH OR FINER) PUT THE POTASSIUM CHLORARE + SUGAR AROUND AND ON TOP OF THE MAIN PT. TO STA RT THE REACTION, PLACE ONE DROP OF CONCENTRATED SULFURIC ACID ON TOP OF THE STA RTER MIXTURE. STEP BACK! THE RATIOS ARE: 3 PARTS IRON(III) OXIDE TO 1 PART ALUM INUM POWDER TO 1 PART POTASSIUM CHLORATE TO 1 PART SUGAR. WHEN YOU FIRST DO IT, TRY 3G:1G:1G:1G! ALSO, THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE STARTER FOR THE THERMITE REACTION. THE ALTERNATI VE IS POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE + GLYCERINE. AMOUNTS: 55G IRON(III) OXIDE, 15G ALU MINUM POWDER, 25G POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE, 6ML GLYCERINE. III. NITROGEN-CONTAINING HIGH EXPLOSIVES. A. MERCURY(II) FULMINATE TO PRODUCE MERCURY(II) FULMINATE, A VERY SENSITIVE SHOCK EXPLOSIVE, ONE MIGHT ASSUME THAT IT COULD BE FORMED BY ADDING FULMINIC ACID TO MERCURY. THIS IS SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT SINCE FULMINIC ACID IS VERY UNSTABLE AND CANNOT BE PURCHASE D. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FIGURED OUT A WAY TO MAKE IT WITHOUT FULMINIC ACID. YOU ADD 2 PARTS NITRIC ACID TO 2 PARTS ALCOHOL TO 1 PART MERCURY. THIS IS THEOR ETICAL (I HAVE NOT YET TRIED IT) SO PLEASE, IF YOU TRY THIS, DO IT IN VERY* SMA LL AMOUNTS AND TELL ME THE RESULTS. 1.quickie... take organic pool chlorine and mix it with vegtable shortening and put it someplace you don't like. it reacts by itself to produce a very noxious white smoke and heat. 2.a pipe bomb (dangerous) take a pipe crimp (closed at one end) and pack it 3/4 full of parafin. (or any other semi-solid with about the samebasic chemical structure) poke a number of holes through the length of the parafin. on top of this put a very thin steel (or other metal of that sort) wafer, make double damn sure** that it fits tightly all the way around. on top of this put some high concentration hcl (or similar acid). close the top now, stand it on end (parafin end down), and get the f*ck away. you should have about 2-5 minutes depending on the thickness of the wafer. watch out for shrappnel. 3. snowball... take ammonium iodide, flour, & water and form this into a snowball. leave this 'snowball' somewhere where it will do neat stuff when it dries out. (substituting some magnesium flash powder for some (not all) of that flour helps things a bit.) +-------------------------------------+ !

SEE YA, AND HAVE FUN??!!..??!!.. ********************************** * T R I P W I R E S * ********************************** Well first of all I reccommend that you read the file on my board about landmines... If you can't then here is the conecpt. You can use an m-80,h-100, blockbuster or any other type of elxplose that will light with a fuse. Now the way this works is if you have a 9volt batery, from a radio ctlred car or what ever and get either a solor igniter (preferably) or some steel wool you can create a remote ignition system. What you do it set up a schematic like this. ------------------>+ batery steel || ->- batery wool || / :==:--- <--fuse \ || / ---- spst switch--\ So when the switch is on the currnet will flow through the steel wool or igniter and heat up causing the fuse to light. Note: For use with steel wool try it first and get a really thin peice of wire and pump the current through it to make sure it will heat up to light the explosive. Now the thing to do is plant your explosive whereever you want it to be but bury it and cover the wires obviously... Now take a this wire fishing line is good about 20 lb. test and tie one end of the wire to a secure object. Have your switch secured to seomthing to and make a loop on the other end on the line. Put the loop around the switch such that when pulled it will pull the switch and set off the explosive. to ignite the explosive... The thing to do is to experiment with this and find your best method... Let me know on any good kills, or new techniques... On my board... *************************************** * * * Revenge: Don't get mad - Get even * * * * subtitled: Fun Things To Do * *************************************** This isn't a death and Destruction file. I'm not telling losers how to cause thermite reactions in chemistry class or make neeto pipe bombs to blow up that guy who keeps bugging you. This is from a book by George Hayduke. It describes a variety of ways to get back at people who cause you distress. The book has contains a lot of tips on causing expensive damage to "marks". Well, I picked the good ones. Ones that don't cause a lot of expense, in currency that is. Well, I hope you enjoy. Get back at the losers using the system. Sort of like piracy and phreaking. *************************************** In a car with automatic transmission, switch the #1 and #8 wires on the distributer cap. This will allegedly allow the car to operate in Neutral and Park, but the engine mysteriously dies in Drive. Castor Oil squirted into the tailpipe of a car, will cause a large amount of smoke. Just the thing to help nervous drivers. If you can get a bank account number for a person, truly wonderful things can happen. Depositing one penny every day can get the employees very pissed. It happens that given a few hundred wanted posters, one will look like you. OR anybody else you can imagine. Close anyway. Think of all the bounty hunters just waiting to claim their reward. Place an ad in a paper for Male Secretarys only. $11 an hour, must be physically attractive, gentle, and other related social traits. This is for anybody who has an office. Give the time to show up one half hour before the normal opening hour. For example, if the office opens at 9:00, put the time to be 8:30. All these faggots will show up and start bitching at each other and your loser. Run an ad in the local paper with the following message. "I need all used christmas trees. Please leave them on my lawn, and I'll pay $5 for each one." then leave the losers address. The paper will take your $ and print the ad without thinking. If you know the guy is going to throw a party, arrange for him to find out that somebody was going to crash his party, dressed up like cops. Then call the cops telling them of a real rowdy party going on. If your college uses computers to handle admissions, try this. Fill out course withdrawl forms in the losers name. Then enter them, they probably won't check. The guy will go the entire block unknowing, then when grades are posted. "Where are mine?" "Why didn't I get grades?" Call your colleges administration, tell them you are the undertaker of your losers hometown. He just died, please take him off your records, records will follow. Then call the parents. He just died in a fraternity accident. This will work better if the guy decides to skip a week or so of classes. Instead of credit card fraud, just call up the company and tell them that you just lost your cards. You name? Why it's (insert loser) If you want, advertise the losers phone number as a Dial A Joke. For bigots, Dial A Black, etc. If you dislike a fast food place with a drive thru, try this. Order everything you can think of. Then just don't go to the window. Do it during dinner hours. Or, order a normal sized meal, but with extra helpings of mustard. Then the next car will try the food, then freak out at the joint. Garage door openers often have dip switches that can be changed to other combinations. The cheaper the model, the better. Sears sells just the unit. Say you broke yours or something. Then change the settings. Wax crayons tossed into a wash do wonders to whites or anything else. There is a whole section of phun things to do with a phone. Call in a bomb threat to a school or something, then leave the handset offhook. Of course, do this only at the losers house. Someone will visit. Call Ma Bell, and report that your loser is using Blue Boxes. Tell them it is your civic duty... Don't do this to someone who knows what they are though. The phone co doesn't believe in innocence. Ads placed in papers saying that (insert loser) will sell YOU! the plans to a device enabling inexpensive calls. Mention that you keep no records. If you are getting back at somebody with a multi-line system, this is good. Place a large magnet where the line comes in. When one phone rings, they all do If you can get a private minute with your marks phone, and the handset is modular, cover the handset plug with clear nail polish. The phone rings, then its unlimited "Hello?" "Hello?" Remove the pins from all but one of the hinges of a front door of a business. The door will work fine, for a while, then fall off. People start screaming. Add luminescent paint into the cans of someone who is painting their fence. Then, at night, it glows. Get some copper paint and paint a small line across the insulator of a spark plug in a car. They'll never find it. If your loser gets a parking ticket, get it before he sees it. Then get a stamp flicking the cops off. Send it in with no money. If you dislike a pet hater, here's one. Advertise that you(the loser) wuold like to buy all unwanted strays. $10 for each one. Then call the SPCA, telling them that the loser wants the animals to conduct black masses and pagan rites. Laxatives slipped into dogfood does wonders. Or better yet, toss some normal meat into the dog-owners yard. Then call him up(in a disguised voice) and tell him you saw a suspicious person hanging around the yard.... Mail a letter to the Chief Executive detailing the sexual acts you(the loser) would like to commit, the Secret Service investigates this with no humor. PA systems in department stores are great. Just walk up to a deserted unit, look around, then deliver the most disgusting statement you can think of. Call about thirty people, telling them they just won a sweepstakes. Answer the questions, no obligation, it's just to show how generous people are. Then give the losers phone number to call for more info. Remember two things, hot metal and hot glass do not look different from cool. (as long as it's not too hot) Western Telegram has a check on everything going through. Certain key words trip alarms. Guns, Drugs, Sex, Terrorist, etc all ring bells. Have fun (*-> -------------------------------------------------------------------- <-*) Car Thrashing (*-> -------------------------------------------------------------------- <-*) There are many ways to thrash someones car. But they basicly fall under 2 topics. These are, 1 to just fuck it up and 2, to distroy it. As long as your at it don't for get to steal the stero & speakers. The following are type 1 tricks to pull of on someones car. Sweet-Gas: This involves taking the gas cap off of you victums car. If it --------- is a locking cap break it off. Or you might pry it off, resort to "Jocky Boxin" by Mr. Zeek if un fimiler with these tecniqes. Once you have the gas cap off pour 4 or 5 pounds of white sugar in there gas tank. Now when the start there car up and drive away they will go about 2 miles or so then the car will crap out and they will have to pay some $'s to get it fixed. Sweet-Oil: In this one you open there hood and pour some honey in there oil --------- spout. if yu have time you might remover the oil plug first and drain some of the oil out. I have tried this one but wasn't around to see the effects but I am sure that I did some damage. Slow Air: Ok, sneak yp the victums car and poke a small hole some where -------- in 2 of his/her tires. They only have 1 spare. Now if the hole is small but there then there tire will go flat some where on the road. You could slice the tire so this is blows out on the road wih a rasor blade. Cut a long and fairly deep (don't cut a hole) and peel a little bit of the rubber back and cut that off. Now very soon there tires will go flat or a possible blow out at a high speed if your lucky. Vanishing Paint: Spead a little gas or paint thiner on the victums car --------------- and this will make his paint run and fade. Vodca will eat the paint off and so will a little 190. Eggs work great on pain if they sit there long enough. Key Paint: Run you car keys/can opener along there car and scrach a long --------- strip off. It'll really piss 'em off and everyone can see it. All-Lock: You go up to the dudes car, right. And then super glue the -------- the door lock and door handle where the car can't be opened. Loose Wheel: Losen the lugs on you victums tires so that they will soon ----------- fall off. This can really fuck some one up if they are cruzing when the tire falls off. Ok, thats some of the begginer shit...now if your really out to get this dude try some of these.... First, pause and take a bong hit........... No name for this one. but where you pour oil into the engin, pour some sand, this will scar the head and pushrodes and possible scrach the fuck out of the cylinder. Dual Nutral: This name sucks but pull the 10 bolt or what ever they have ----------- there off. (On the real wheels, in the middle of the axle) Now throw some screws, blots, nuts and assorted things in there and replace the cover. At this point you could chip some of the teeth off the gears. Un-Midaser: Crawl under there car with a rachet and losen all the nuts ---------- on there exauset so that it hangs low and will fall off soon. They will be in town and there exaust will fall off. This method also works on tranys but is a little harder to get all bolts off, but the harder you work the more you fuck them over. Draino Bomb: (Idea from Baby Demon) Get a little plasistc orange thingy ----------- that you get from you local drugest. And fill this with liquid draino. Now re-cap and place inside vicuum gas tank. When the gs easts through the plasic...look out. this has not been tried by anyone that I personly know. But what the well, your a terrorists (*-> Another way is to get a ping-pong ball and cut a small hole in it, now fill the ball up with liquid dranio and seal the hold with tape. Now drop the ball in someone gas tank and n about 40secs...BOOM! --------------------------------------- HOW TO MAKE A REALLY NICE PIPE BOMB OUT OF EVERYDAY MATERIALS. UPLOADED BY THE GRAY MOUSER..... 1) GO TO YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE STORE AND TELL THE GUY THAT IS HELPING YOU THAT YOU WANT A PIECE OF STEEL PIPE ONE FOOT LONG. AND ALSO THAT YOU WANT THE ENDS THREADED AND YOU ALSO WANT CAPS TO PUT ON THE END. 2) NOW GET AHOLD OF A BABYFOOD JAR. MAKE SURE THAT THE JAR WILL FIT DOWN THE PIPE REAL EASY LIKE. FILL THE BABYJAR WITH EVERYDAY VINEGAR. MAKE SURE THE TOP IS SCREWED ON REAL TIGHT. **IF IT IS LOOSE YOU WILL BLOW YOUR HAND OFF** 3)NOW CAP ONE END OF YOUR PIPE WITH ONE OF THE CAPS THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE PICKED UP WITH THE PIPE. IF YOU KNOW OF SOMEONE WITH A WIELDER, HAVE HIM WIELD A BEAD AROUND THE THREADS AFTER YOU HAVE IT CAPPED. 4)PUT SOME SMALL SHARP ROCKS DOWN THE END OF THE PIPE AND THEN SLIDE THE BABYJAR DOWN INSIDE SO THE GLASS END IS AGAINST THE LITTLE ROCKS. NOW EMPTY A MEDIUM BOX OF ARM AND HAMMER BAKING SODA INTO THE PIPE. CAP THE OTHER END OF THE PIPE AND IF YOU CAN WIELD IT, THEN GO FOR IT. **BE FUCKING CAREFUL** YOU MIGHT BREAK THE JAR INSIDE AND YOU WON'T KNOW THAT YOU BROKE IT UNTIL YOU SEE YOUR HAND FLY OFF!!! 5)NOW, WHEN YOU WANT TO BLOW SOMETHING UP, JUST SMACK THE END OF THE PIPE THAT SENDS THE JAR INSIDE DOWN AGAINST THE SMALL ROCKS. OH YEAH, SMACK IT AGAINST SOME CONCREAT. THIS BREAKS THE JAR AND THE VINEGAR AND BAKING SODA MIX TOGETHER AND BUILDS UP PRESSURE. WHEN IT GETS TO THE CRITICAL POINT....WHAMMY!!!! ******IMPORTANT****** AFTER YOU HIT THE PIPE AGAINST THE GROUND, GET THE HELL RID OF IT!!! TOSS IT INTO SOMEONES CAR OR SOMEWHERE. SOMETIMES. IT TAKES FIVE MINUTS FOR IT TO GO OFF, SOMETIMES TWO. BUT IT WILL GO OFF! TRUST ME! I DID THIS WHEN I WAS LIVING IN ARIZONA. MY FREIND THAT TAUGHT ME THIS WAS A DEMOLITIONS EXPERT FOR THE NAVY. THE FIRST TIME I DID IT. WE TOSSED THE PIPE INTO AN OLD HOUSE AND IT BLEW ALL FOUR WALLS OUT!! THE SECOND TIME WE DID IT, WE TOSSED IT INTO AN OLD CAR. AND IT PHUKING BLEW ALL FOUR DOORS OFF AND THE ROOF THREE FEET INTO THE AIR!!!! WHEN WE BLEW UP THE HOUSE, WE WAITED FIVE MINUTS AND I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULDN'T GO OFF. SO I CRAWLED OUT OF THE DITCH THAT WE WERE IN. WHAMMY!! JUST THEN IT WENT OFF! IT THREW ME BACK FIVE FEET BACK INTO THE DITCH! IF YOU FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS REAL CAREFULLY. THEN YOU WON'T GET HURT. I WILL TALK TO YOU ALL LATER. AND TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE BLOWN UP!!! ^___^ * * ^ --\ /-- " XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX Xx American Dynamite xX XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX Recipe: Mix 170 parts tolulene with 100 parts acid. The acid made of 2 parts of 70% nitric and 3 parts of 100% sulfuric. Mix below 30 degrees. Set this down for 30 min. and let it separate. Take the mononitrotolulene and mix 100 part of it with 215 parts of acid. This acid is 1 part pure nitric and 2 parts pure sulfuric. Keep the temperature at 60- 70 degrees while they are slowly mixed. Raise temp to 90-100 and stir for 30 min. The dinitrotoluene is separated and mix 100 parts of this stuff with 225 parts of 20% oleum which is 100% sulfuric with 20% extra dissolved sulfur trioxide, and 65 parts nitric acid. Heat at 95 degrees for 60 min. Then at 120 degrees for 90 min. Separate the trinitrotoluene and slosh it around in hot water. Purify the powder by soaking it in benzyne. Presto! American Dynamite! ============================ How to Make Ammonium Nitrate ============================ Some Militants who don't have much dynamite use ammonium nitrate. This can be bought by anyone at $3.75 for and 80 pound bag. It is fertilizer. Ammonium nitrate explodes at rates up to 14,000 feet per second. It is roughly compared to dynamite having 60% nitro. The fertilizer grade Militants use is mixed with motor oil at the ratio of one pint of oil to 8-1/2 pounds of ammonium nitrate. This has to be detonated with a stick of gelatin dynamite [I didn't say all was easy. Try to find another file about that crap.]. Purified ammonium nitrate can be detonated with a number six dynamite cap. The pure stuff can be bought at chemical supply houses or the fertilizer grade can be purified with distilled wood alcohol. Put several pounds of fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate in a pan. Pour in enough wood alcohol (methanol) to cover the fertilizer. Then stir it until a lot of it has dissolved. Next, let it set for a few minutes to allow the impurities to settle to the bottom along with the undissolved ammonium nitrate. Another pan is set on some pieces of dry ice for the next step. Dry ice can be found in the business section of the phone book under "Dry Ice." Locker companies will sell it to anyone, cheaply and in small amounts. The dissolved ammonium nitrate is poured into the cold pan. This is done carefully so as to leave the impurities and undissolved ammonium nitrate behind. The dry ice causes the purified ammonium nitrate to precipitate out of the solution in crystals. When no more crystals are formed they are removed from the alcohol. The alcohol is then poured back into the other pan and stirred to dissolve any ammonium nitrate left undissolved. After setting a few minutes the solution is again poured off the dregs and the dregs are thrown away. When the last batch of crystals is removed, the alcohol can be stored and reused. The dry ice is simply frozen carbon dioxide and its fumes are harmless unless they are enough to replace the air. Don't handle the dry ice with your bare hands [unless you are into pulling your skin off to the bone] as its cold will cause blisters. In order for pure ammonium nitrate to be detonated by a dynamite cap, it must be very dry. Spread it out under a heat lamp ir in thte sun. When completely dry, store it in tightly closed plastic bags. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAUGHING GAS =-=-=-=-=-=- As a special treat for the dopers in the audience and since ammonium nitrate has been on your mind for a few minutes, you might as well learn how to make laughing gas from ammonium nitrate. Laughing gas was one of the earliest anaesthetics. After a little while of inhaling the gas the patient became so happy [ain't life great?] he couldn't keep from laughing. Finally he would drift off to a pleasant sleep. Some do-it-yourselfers have died while taking laughing gas. This is because they has generated it through plastic bags while their heads were inside. They were simply suffocating but were too bombed out to realize it. The trick is to have a plastic clothes bag in which you generate a lot of the gas. Then you stop generating the gas and hold a small opening of the bag under your nose, getting plenty of oxygen in the meantime. Then, Whee! To make it you start with ammonium nitrate bought from a chemical supply house or which you have purified with 100% rubbing or wood alcohol. First, dissolve a quantity of ammonium nitrate in some water. Then you evaporate the water over the stove, while stirring, until you have a heavy brine. When nearly all the moisture is out it should solidify instantly when a drop is put on an ice cold metal plate. When ready, dump it all out on a very cold surface. After a while, break it up and store it in a bottle. A spoonful is put into a flask with a one-hole stopper, with a tube leading into a big plastic bag. The flask is heated with an alcohol lamp. When the temperature in the flask reaches 480 F the gas will generate. If white fumes appear the heat should be lowered as the stuff explodes at 600 F. When the bag is filled, stop the action and get ready to turn on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACK POWDER:GRANDPAS RECIPE IF YA WANT TO MAKE SOME LOW EXPLOSIVE BOMBS THEN YOU PICKED THE RIGHT CHOICE! FIRST OF ALL, THIS RECIPE WILL SHOW HOW TO MAKE BLACK POWDER IN A SIMPLE AND SAFE MANNER YET HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE SOME STRONG LOW EXPLOSIVE BOMBS. NOTE: THE BELOW AMOUNTS WILL YIELD TWO POUNDS (THAT'S 900 GRAMS FOR YOU METRIC USERS) OF BLACK POWDER. HOWEVER, ONLY THE RATIOS OF THE AMOUNTS OF INGREDIENTS ARE IMPORTANT. THUS, FOR TWICE AS MUCH BLACK POWDER, DOUBLE ALL QUANTITIES USED. MATERIAL REQUIRED ----------------- LARGE WOODEN STICK CLOTH, 2 FT. SQ. FLAT WINDOW SCREENING, 1 FT. SQ. HEAT SOURCE WATER, 3 CUPS ALCOHOL, 5 PINTS (ANY KIND) SULFER, POWDERED, 1/2 CUP (FLOWERS OF SULFER, AT A DRUG STORE) WOOD CHARCOAL, POWDERED, 2 CUPS POTASSIUM NITRATE, GRANULATD, 3 CUPS (SALTPETER, AT DRUG STORES) 2 BUCKETS, BOTH 2 GALLON, ONE MUST BE HEAT RESISTANT PROCEDURE: ---------- 1. PLACE ALCOHOL IN ONE OF THE BUCKETS. 2. PLACE POTASSIUM NITRATE, CHARCOAL, AND SULFUR IN THE HEAT RESISTANT BUCKET. ADD 1 CUP WATER AND MIX THOROUGHLY WITH WOODEN STICK UNTIL ALL INGREDIENTS ARE DISSOLVED. 3. ADD REMAINING WATER (2 CUPS) TO MIXTURE. PLACE BUCKET ON HEAT SOURCE AND STIR UNTIL SMALL BUBBLES BEGIN TO FORM. CAUTION: DO NOT BOIL MIXTURE. BE SURE ALL MIXTURE STAYS WET. IF ANY IS DRY, AS ON SIDES OF PAN, IT MAY IGNITE. 4. REMOVE BUCKET FROM HEAT AND POUR MIXTURE INTO ALCOHOL WHILE STIRRING VIGOROUSLY. 5. LET ALCOHOL MIXTURE STAND ABOUT 5 MINUTES. STRAIN MIXTURE THROUGH CLOTH TO OBTAIN BLACK POWDER. DISCARD LIQUID. WRAP CLOTH AROUND BLACK POWDER AND SQUEEZE TO REMOVE ALL EXCESS LIQUID. 6. PLACE SCREENING OVER DRY BUCKET. PLACE WORKABLE AMOUNT OF DAMP POWDER ON SCREEN AND GRANULATE BY RUBBING SOLID THROUGH SCREEN. NOTE: IF GRANULATED PARTICLES APPEAR TO STICK TOGETHER AND CHANGE SHAPE, RECOMBINE ENTIRE BATCH OF POWDER AND REPEAT STEPS 5 AND 6. 7. SPREAD GRANULATED BLACK POWDER ON FLAT DRY SURFACE SO THAT LAYER ABOUT 1/2 INCH IS FORMED. ALLOW TO DRY. USE RADIATOR, OR DIRECT SUNLIGHT. THIS SHOULD BE DRIED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, PREFERABLY IN ONE HOUR. THE LONGER THE DRYING PERIOD, THE LESS EFFECTIVE THE BLACK POWDER. CAUTION: REMOVE FROM HEAT AS SOON AS GRANULES ARE DRY. BLACK POWDER IS NOW READY FOR USE! :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: How to Counterfeit :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: This article deals with how to make counterfeit money. Before reading this article it would be a very good idea to get a book about photo-offset printing, for that's how you'll have to print it. For someone who is familiar with offset printing, printing money is a breeze. Real money is made by a process called gravure. It involves carving out of a metal block (but I don't think anyone can do that by hand-if you can, you should be on That's Incredible!). When you are done (if you did everything correctly) you will have a finished product nearly identical to real money, depending on your printing skills. Well, let's get started! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ First I'd like to tell you briefly how offset printing works. It starts by making negatives (kind of like when you take a picture with your camera). Then you take the negatives and put them on a piece of masking material ( usually orange). Then you expose the STRIPPED negatives or FLATS to a lithographic plate with an arc light plate maker. The BURNED plates are then developed with the proper developer chemical. These plates (one at a time of course) are wrapped around the plate cylinder of the press. The press to use should be an 11 by 14 (or so) offset such as the 11 by 17 AB Dick 360. Then the printing begins! To learn in detail how to do each of these steps you should again get a book on the subject. The presswork takes some practice, but you'll get the hang of it. Ok, quit babbling on, Wave, and start the good stuff! By the way you can pick up an 11 by 14 offset for about $500 if you shop around (or you can ** BORROW ** a press from your local Insty Prints at about 3:00 in the morning!). First, like I said before, you need negatives. Make 2 negatives of the portrait side of the bill and 1 of the back side. After developing them and letting them dry, take them to a light table. Get some opaque and, on one of the portrait sides, touch out all the green (the seal and the serial numbers). Line that one up on the FLAT and leave about 1/2 inch from the top of the flat. Then for the other portrait, touch out everything BUT the seal and serial numbers. The back side doesn't require any retouching because it is all one color. Now, make sure all the negatives are lined up right, or REGISTERED, on the flats. By the way, every time you need another serial number, just shoot 1 neg. of the portrait side and cut out the serial number. Cut out the old serial number from the flat and replace it with the new one. Ok, now you have 3 flats, each represents a different color-black and 2 shades of green (which of course are made by mixing inks). Now you are ready to burn the plates. Take a lithographic plate and mark 3 marks on it. These marks must be 2 & 9/16 in. apart, starting on one of the short edges. Do the same thing to 2 more plates. Then take 1 of the flats and place it on the plate, lining the short edge up with the edge of the plate-EXACTLY! Burn it, move it up to the next mark, and cover up the exposed area you already burned. Burn that and do the same thing 2 more times-moving the flat up one mark. Then do the same process with the other 2 flats (each on a separate plate). Develope all 3 plates. You should have 4 images on each plate with an equal space between each bill. Roll the Presses! ---- --- ------- The paper you will need won't match exactly, but you can make it pretty damn close (close enough for the cashier at K-Mart!). The paper to use should have a 25% rag content. I have found that Disaperf computer paper works great - that's the kind that you can barely see the perforation. Take this paper (cut the pinfeed holes off first!) and load it into the press. Be sure to set the air, buckle, and paper thickness right. Start with the black plate (the one with out the serial numbers). Wrap it around the cylinder and load black ink in. Make sure you run more than you need because there will be a lot of rejects. Then, while that's printing, mix the inks for the serial #'s and the back side. You'll need to add some white and maybe yellow to the serial # ink. You need to add black to back side. Experiment till you get it right. Clean the press and print the other side. Now you have the bill wioth no green seal or serial numbers. Print a few with one serial number, make another and repeat. Keep doing this until you have as many different numbers as you want. Then cut the bills to the exact size with a paper cutter Now you have a lot of money, except there is still one problemo - the paper is pure white. To dye it, mix the following in a pan: 2 cups hot water, 4 tea bags, and about 16-20 drops of green food coloring (experiment). Dip one of the bills in and compare it to a brand new REAL bill. Make the neces- sary adjustments, and dye all the bills. Then it is a good idea to make them look used. Wrinkle them, rub coffee grinds on them, etc. Congratulations! You're rich! Sodium Chlorate Formulas ------------------------ Sodium Chlorate is similar to potassium chlorate,and in most cases can be a substitute. Sodium chlorate is also more soluble in water. You can find sodium chlorate at Channel or any hardware/home improvement store. It is used in blowtorches and you can get about 3lbs for about $6.00. Rocket Fuel ----------- 6 parts sodium chlorate mixed *THOROUGHLY* with 5 parts rubber cement. Rocket Fuel 2 (better performance) ---------------------------------- 50% sodium chlorate 35% rubber cement ('One-Coat' (tm)) 10% epoxy resin hardener 5% sulfur You may want to add more sodium chlorate depending on the purity you are using. Nitromethane formulas --------------------- I thought that I might add this in since it's similar to Astrolite. Nitromethane (CH3NO2) specific gravity:1.139 flash point:95f auto-ignite:785f Derivation: reaction of methane or propane with nitric acid under pressure. Uses: Rocket fuel; solvent for cellulosic compounds, polymers, waxes, fats, etc. To be detonated with a #8 cap, add: 1) 95% nitromethane + 5% ethylenediamine 2) 94% nitromethane + 6% aniline Power output: 22-24% more powerful than TNT. Detonation velocity of 6,200MPS. Nitromethane 'solid' explosives ------------------------------- 2 parts nitromethane 5 parts ammonium nitrate (solid powder) soak for 3-5 min. when done,store in an air-tight container. This is supposed to be 30% more powerful than dynamite containing 60% nitro- glycerin, and has 30% more brilliance. Getting others to Commit Suicide Well, lately, there has been many Suicides lately. A little while ago, here in beautiful NJ, 4 teenagers said their last rites and started the car up in the garage. This brought a smile to my face, you see, the more people dead, the better off you are in the game of life. When people our age die, that means the rest of us have a better chance of getting into the college we want, cause there is less of them to compete with. There are more jobs to have, and maybe you might find one you like. There is more food and other material products, and this keeps the price of everything down. Its just better for the whole society. Who cares about the mourning family, they'll get over it, as you know who says "another day, another death"... Death is a fact of life for everyone, and the more dead, the better. HOW YOU CAN HELP: ----------------- Find somebody that looks (as follows) like this: -Real Ugly, someone who needs to be put out of misery, and so we don't have to look at them -Real Quiet, these people usally have something wrong upstairs, they can't deal with other people, they are no good to you anyway. -Real Stupid, everybody knows someone like this, like IQ of 98, someone who can be pursuaded easily into the act. -Someone with parents that prod them, like high pressure parents, who tell thier kids to do well in everything or die... (this is the good one) -Somebody who has tried committing suicide before, cause they are fucked up allready and they are the easist to convince. CONVINCING THEM: ---------------- Ok, find one of the above and try the first tactic, total harassment. Just rag and rag and rag and rag on them, tell them their mother sucks black cock in hell, send letters saying that they are illegitimate, saying that they are drafted into the Marines.. Call them up and tell her mom that she does Crack and she's pregnant. Get a guy that looks like a total scumbag biker with chains and shit and tell her mom that he's ready to pick her up for their orgy. Or if its a guy tell him 'yo maun, i got de stuff, wheres de money??"... Just make their total life hell. OR Befriend them, get real close to them, tell them you love them, you want to be with them forever (in hell). Get close to the parents too, act real nice, kiss some ass, be a real goody 2 shoes, feel like part of the family. Then make up some crisis you supposedly had at home, say that your dad is gonna kick you outa the house if (you dont cut that hair)...sorry... you dont get a job and pay for everything you use. Say that he grounded you for 5732 days and you can't go anywhere. Then lie to the other kid's parents and tell them something like your (son) daughter's is hooked on drugs and get her in trouble. Then at night tell the other party to meet you somewhere, like on a bridge, anywhere that you can die easily. Then make her feel like shit and ask (demand) her to go in a suicide jump together, go 1-2-3, she jumps you stay where you are and laugh. PACTS: ------ Suicide Pacts are the best way to get rid of alot of people at once. Pacts usally consist of 2 to 6 people, (unlike my good friend Jim Jones who wiped out over 300 with poisoned Kool-Aid), and are usally done in a painless way. Try to find a bunch of depressed people and tell them to join your little group that meets twice a week to 'talk' about everyones problems. Bullshit with them for a week or two, show a few other ways out of depression (which should'nt work) then tell them (strongly) about a easy way out, convince them into a SUICIDE PACT. Probability is that if 2 or 3 agree with it, the whole group will do it, and that's just dandy!. PRE-ACT TACTICS: ---------------- Now since this person is never going to be around any more, and if you say you are going with them, tell the other party to give you all their belongings so you can 'give it to charity, someone who really needs it'. Of course all the goods go to bank account and some good blow. Also, if you play your cards right, you can take out a life insurance policy on the person and make 10g's to 1 mil, depending on the company and how stupid they are. Or if you forgot about the pre-act tactics just go to the parents and say 'She would want me to have this' (a $2500 pioneer stereo rack system), a few weeks after the death, and cry when you do it. WAYS OF SUICIDE: ---------------- The folling is a list of many ways to get the person to commit suicide: -Carbon Monoxide, as in automobile exhaust, a very painless way to die. You just sit in the car, in a garage, and it feels like you are going to sleep. -A Gun, also another painless way, point the gun at the temple (head), aim on an angle towards the lower base of the skull, instant DEATH. -Slitting of the Wrists, very stupid, painful at first, but eventually you go into shock. This way of suicide has the highest failure rate due to people chickening out, it lasts from 20 mins. to sometimes 3 hrs. not a good way. If so do it vertically rather then going across, will give you a better chance. -Jumping off a tall building, a good way, because 50% of the people that jump DIE of fright before hitting the ground. Somewhat tramatic for the 4 seconds you are in the air, but more or less, a good way. -Jumping in front of a Bus, Train, or any Large vehicle, a 75% percent success rate as long as your head hits againt the oncoming force quickly. People have been mangled and lived through it, and you don't want that to happen, you want to DIE REMEMBER?? -Overdose of Drugs, a somewhat lame way to go depending on the drug... also you need to take the right amount due to if you take too much, you will just throw it up and suffer for 24 hrs... not to much, not to little, you can determine by the recomened doseage. Sleeping pills are probably the most painless, you just pass out. Overdoses of drugs such as Acid,LSD,and other phyco drug is another stupid way to go, and if you live through it you are a vegetable for the rest of your fucking life. Drowning- A bad way to go, due to suffication people who have lived through a near drowing say "It fucking sucks" to put it in laymens terms, not suggested. Hanging- good if you do it right. In the old west they used a more or less 'painless' way of hanging. When they released the lever, your neck broke and usally you couldnt feel anything anyway, and before you knew it, you we DEAD. A relitivly good and graphic way to go. Running your car off a cliff- Very stupid unless you have a high cliff or mountain. People usally try to pull out at the last second, and end up paralized for life. Not recommended. Electricution- Not bad, as long you have a good current. Go to your local power substation and ground yourself to something, and as soon as you touch the ends of those big semi-condutors, you're history. Poison- Same as drugs. Stabbing yourself- Usally reserved for Sickos, a very painful way to die, and you watch yourself bleed to death. Pretty beat way to go. Drinking yourself to Death-Sounds fun, should try it sometime....but seriously, probably not a bad way to go, get wasted, and die! Get grain alcohol, 199 proof, good shit. Well, im probably missing like hundreds of more ways, but this file is just to get you started in the game of life. Good luck, and keep track of your results. _____________________________________________________________________________ _ HOW TO BLOW UP A CAR: A different way _____________________________________________________________________________ _ There are times in a man's life when he gets mad at someone. And then there are times when he gets REAL mad at someone. These are the times for vengence. And what better way to get back at someone than damaging his/her car. The thing which s/he has saved up for, worked hard for, and paid for. Yes!!! This is the item which you must attack, for most of the time, it is parked outside, easily accesible at night and very important to the asshole you want to annoy. The method I will describe is relatively easy and safe to set up, but very effective in causing damage. The method of destruction will be explosion. The explosive device is already inside the car, factory installed just for you to use. It is the standard 12 volt car battery. Let's look at the princleple behind the exploding battery: you are by now familiar with the theory of how batteries work, and if you aren't, your probably too young to be thinking of these sorts of things. Anyway, within the battery, is not only a current flowing from positive to negative (actually, it is from negative to positive, but that's another story), but also a small internal resistance. The resistance inside the battery is in the order of magnitude of roughly .0024 OHM, an amount so small, it is usually ignored. But, that is for normal operation of the battery. The case we're interrested in is for the closed circuit of the battery by itself. For a closed circuit, the internal resistance becomes a big deal, and the following holds true: (voltage) divided by (resistance) equals (current) or V/R=I let's calculate 12volt/.0024 ohm = 5000 amps Amazing!!!!! by causing a short circuit (closed circuit), the battery produces 5000 amps of current running through that little bugger. However, this current is short lived, and the battery cannot handle this capacity for long, so therefore the battery explodes. It explodes with a rather large force, causing considerable damage from the pressure, flames, and hurling lead. All these goodies combined with the volatile liquids hidden inside the engine will cause the vehicle to add another member to the big junk yard in the sky. Great!! now we know how to make the car blow up, but we don't want to go up with hte car, so what we need is a triggering device. one can go from the simple to elaborate, by incorporating sophisticated devices such as radio transmitters, but for our purposes, we will opt for a simple timer and relay device. First, we will need some heavy cable, capable of handling the massive current without melting, then we will need a relay also able to cope with large currents. Next, we need a timer which will count down the seconds to our triuphant vengance. And finally, a small battery to run the relay (the small battery will run both the relay and the timer if you are using a digital timer). Now: Connect the small battery to the timer, the timer to the relay, and the relay to the car battery. Connect the heavy duty relay to the the car battery with the heavy cable. There you have it!!!! __________________ small batt / ____ _| _____ _________________ ______/ / _||________||_ | |___| | | \_______/ / | CAR | | |___| ___|TIMER|___|relay| / | BATTERY | | / | | |_____| / |______________| |____________/ |_____| \_______/ remember, tinkering with other people's property is a no-no, and officer friendly might get ugly with you if he sees you doing this, so be forewarned. Also, car batteries are dangerous to play with, and if handled improperly, may explode unintentionally, causing the concentrated acid to spray in your face, making you look like the elephant man. so don't come crying to me when something happens, cause i'll just laugh at you and possibly urinate over you if you rub me the wrong way. MERCURY BATTERY BOMB! --------------------- Materials: 1 Mercury Battery (1.5 or 1.4 V Hearing Aid) 1 working lamp with on/off switch Procedures: 1.

Now your favorite part, stand back and plug in cord in the socket. 7. And you will have fun!! Like Real Party!!! How to make a Milk Carton Bomb written by XTX-101 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A milk carton bomb is relitively simple and safe. It's only purpose it to create a loud noise. The ingredients needed to make this are few and easy to aquire. You will need a plastic milk carton, lighter fluid(type used in cigarette lighters), a piece of paper, and a pair of chopsticks. If you can not obtain chop sticks, it's okay to substitute them with something that can hold the paper and is long enough so that you won't be harmed by the flames. After aquiring all of the ingredients, you can now start to make the bomb. The procedure is easy. First, puncture a hole at the bottom of the milk carton with a screw driver or equivalent. Next fill one-fourth of the milk carton with lighter fluid. Place the milk carton in a fairly large area outisde. Hold a piece of paper between the chopsticks and light the paper with a match. Cautiously place the lighted paper under the hole of the carton and BOOM! You have your loud explosion with little damage to the surrounding area. It would be a good idea to have some water handy to extinguish any flames. Be careful when doing this and have fun. ][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ ][/////////REAL/PIPE/BOMBS//////////][ ][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ STUFF YOU'LL NEED: ------------------ AN 8 INCH SECTION OF PVC CONDUIT 1" IN DIAMETER 2 PIPE CAPS (THAT WILL FIT THE PVC) SOME SORT OF PROPELLANT SOME GREEN WATERPROOF FUSE A TUBE OF FORMA-GASKET, OR SOME SORT OF SEALANT A HOT GLUE GUN A DRILL WITH A SMALL BIT ASSEMBLY: --------- PUT ONE OF THE CAPS ON THE PVC, SEAL IT, AND LET IT DRY. FILL THE PIPE HALFWAY FULL WITH YOUR PROPELLANT HOLD ONE END OF THE FUSE WHILE FILLING THE PIPE THE REST OF THE WAY WITH THE PROPELLANT. THE PIPE SHOULD NOW BE FULL OF THE PROPELLANT UP TO 1/3 INCH FROM THE TOP OF THE PVC. FILL IT THE REST OF THE WAY WITH HOT GLUE, AND LET IT COOL. DRILL A SMALL HOL IN THE REMAINING PIPE CAP, AND PUT IT ON THE PVC MAKE SURE YOU HAVE RUN THE FUSE THROUGH THE SMALL HOLE! NOW, SEAL THE CAP ON THE PIPE, AND SEAL THE SMALL HOLE AROUND THE FUSE HOLE. YOU NOW HAVE A WORKING PIPE BOMB WHICH IS ROUGHLY THE EQUIVALENT OF 1 STICK OF TNT. HOW YOU USE IT IS UP TO YOU. 1) What is Anarchy? Anarchy can be taken technically (one who promotes the downfall of governments) or as a number of other definitions (One who is knowledgeable of the arts of destruction, One who uses the arts of destruction sparingly to his advantage, One who likes to see things blown to Bufu, Egypt). This manual is to train the people who fall under the category of "One who uses the arts of destruction sparingly and to his advantage" and also "One who likes to see things blown to Bufo, Egypt". More on these views later. If you are one who plots the destruction of governments, just abort this download now, and go to your room and hold your breath, because it isn't going to happen. Those of you who want to know how to do these type of things in case of nuclear war, go ahead and read, and in fact, dump this out to your printer and memorize it, you seem like the kind of person who would do these type of things. 2) What are some do's and don'ts of anarchy? Ok, First of all, an anarchist has to have a clear mind. Use or ingest nothing that would dull your reflexes or cloud your thoughts. That means, No "bongs" (for serious anarchy anyway) and no booze (at least for the few nights before an anarchy raid). If you do heavy drugs, just abort now and do some more, because i dont want any beefed up junkies trying to blow up my house (I would probably be able to destroy them anyway). "Bongs" are what many anarchists consider good use of their free time. I condemn that practice, but if you can refrain from over-usage, It is ok if you go on reading. As you can see, you may have to make a few sacrifices for anarchy. But its for your own good (so you dont blow up yourself) and for others (dont kill innocent people, get the guys who deserve it). However, many future anarchists may read this and decide never to start such "habits" at all. All the better. One thing i find detestable in a lot of neo-anarchists is their tendancies to brag and to be impatient. Anarchy (if thats the right word at all for us type of people, more in a future volume) requires a lot of preparations, which can lead to a lot of fun (for you and your friends), or just plain survival. Never be impatient, always be cool (even when you have state police chasing you down free-ways doing 90mph). If you take the "cool" silent attitude, you'll be good...damn good (sounds corny doesn't it?). One thing that baffles me is how some very successful anarchists get away with the stuff they do. Diamond Dave Letterman writes files all the time (and im sure is proud of it) and doesnt strike me as the most rational person in the world, but damn, is he good (so i hear anyways). I wouldn't suggest you try his approach to life until you have practiced the ways of the anarchist. One more thing that separates the real anarchists from the guys who just buy fireworks and blow it up and call theirselves anarchists, is brains. You should be getting good grades in school, and not be getting into any trouble (that is, before you start anarchy). The real anarchists have this, and they take their time with details, but moving swift and silently when it counts. I suggest you buy some dark clothes, maybe a ski mask, get repairs on your car (if you have one, make sure its fast) and get money together (for bail). Most of you are going to stop doing most of the experiments, and you probably wont need this stuff, but if you intend on doing common anarchy around the neighborhood for practice, get the dark suit. If you are going to go farther, it means you are probably serious about anarchy (or crazy, dead, or both), and you'll probably need a car (not necessarily though). Oh yes, I forgot to mention one of the most important requirements for an anarchist: Physical fitness. Start today by lifting weights (and losing some if you need to). You have to have strong legs to run, so start jogging, and if you want to go real far, get training in weapons and the martial arts. You aren't always going to have a weapon (not common), so I opt for the martial arts first. Make sure you get your weapons training on your own or from a friend, because if you take a weapons course, consider yourself plastered if they ever find out that you took their course. [ ] Acetone Peroxide Explosive This explosive can not only be used as an explosive, but also as a detonater. -=-=-=-=-=- -MATERIALS- -=-=-=-=-=- Name Source ---- ------ Hydrogen Peroxide Hair Bleach, Drug Stores and Hair supply Stores Acetone Hardware Stores and Drug Stores Sulfuric Acid Clear battery acid boiled until white fumes appear. Eye Dropper or Syringe w/ glass tube Graduated Cylinder (cc or ml) Thermometer (0 to 100 degrees C) Glass Containers Large Pan Ice and Salt Water Paper Towels All the above can easily be commandeered from your school laboratory for your own purposes. -=-=-=-=-=- -PROCEDURE- -=-=-=-=-=- 1) Mix 30 ml of Acetone and 50ml of Hydrogen Peroxide into a glass container and mix thoroughly. 2) Cool it by plaicing it in a larger container containing ice, salt, and water. Now cool it to 5 degrees Celcius. 3) Add 2.5 ml of concentrated ulfuric acid to the mixture slowly (drop by drop w/ the eye dropper). Stir the mixture w/the thermometer keeping the the temperature between 5-10 degrees celcius. If the temperature rises don't shit just stop adding the sulfuric acid until it cools down then start adding it again. 4) Now that you got all the acid into the mixture continue stirring for another 5 minutes. 5) Now let the mixture stand for 12 to 24 hours in the ice/salt bath. 6) After 12 hours the crystals of acetone peroxide will precipitate out of the once clear solution. Precipitation should be done after 24 hours. 7) Now filter out the crystals through a paper towel attached to a jar with a rubber band. Then after that wash the crystals by pouring ice cold water over them, letting the water rinse the crystals and filter down through the paper towel into the jar. 8) Select a container and allow them to dry. -=-=-=- -USES!- -=-=-=- Now this can be used as an explosive however it is the simplest detonater that I have ever encountered. It works best in 2.5 inch lengths of brass tubing with one end sealed. The only drawback is that it must be used quickly as Acetone Peroxide deteriorates quickly. I have found that keeping it refrigerated seems to make it last longer however for optimum effects it should be used 7 days after manufacture at the latest. It also can be used to detonate almost every Ammonium Nitrate compound, and Ammonium Nitrate itself for that matter. [ ] Fertilizer/Hydrazine Liquid Explosive This one is a killer it is more powerful and more brisant than C-4. However you need a blasting cap to detonate or a homemade compound detonater. Namely Acetone Peroxide detonaters can be used here or Mini-Compound Detonaters. -=-=-=-=-=- -MATERIALS- -=-=-=-=-=- Name Source ---- ------ Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer (no less than Farm and Feed Stores 32% Nitrogen) or pure Anhydrous Hydrazine Chemical Supply House (Be careful with this one it is very reactive!!!) Large Mixing Container *GLASS* stirring rod Storage Container w/tight lid Blasting Cap or Compound Detonater -=-=-=-=-=- -PROCEDURE- -=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- *NOTE* mixing these two is the same as baking soda and vinegar so the reaction is very effervescant and can bubble over the top so use a jar 6 times the volume of the Hydrazine! Also large volumes of ammonia gas are realeased when these two are mixed so wear a gas mask or be upwind of the mixing. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1) Pour into the container the an amount of Anhyrdrous Hydrazine equal to the amount of explosive required. 2) Ammonium Nitrate Prilled or Powdered is added a teaspoon at a time to the container, then wait for it to dissolve (stirring constantly), and then add more. 3) Continue the above process until the ammonium nitrate no longer dissolves into the hydrazine, and don't worry about the small amount of ammonium nitrate left over. 4) Now your basically done and you have an explosive more powerful than any military explosive. 5) To make it more powerful add 20% aluminum powder to the mixture (100 mesh or finer) -=-=-=- -USES!- -=-=-=- This mixture has unique absorbtion and retention properties, and can be poured directly on the ground for a liquid land mine. This type of land mine is totally disquised and cannot be noticed, and all you need to do is bury a compound detonater in the ground, which can be detonated by a step switch etc... This type of land mine remains detonatable for up to four days regardless of rain etc... It can also be poured into a container and used as a bomb. [ ] RDX Explosive The reason I wrote this is because the other file I saw on how to make RDX was so shabby and lame it was probably written by an eight year old mental patient. So here is mine easy! Straightforward! Comphrehendible! -=-=-=-=-=- -MATERIALS- -=-=-=-=-=- Name Source ---- ------ Hexamethylenetetramine (Hexamin) Drug stores under the names Hexamin, Urotropine, and Methenamine Strong Nitric Acid Chemical Supply House or some Hardware stores Acetone Drug Stores and Hardware Stores Scale with gram accuracy Graduated Cylinder (cc or ml) or measuring cups Thermometer 20-100 degrees celcius or 68-212 degrees farenheit Several large quart canning jars Two large basins or bowls made of metal or some other heatable metal Paper Towels -=-=-=-=-=- -PROCEDURE- -=-=-=-=-=- 1) Place one half cup or 120 ml or cc of nitric acid in a large canning jar and bring the temperature to between 20 and 30 degrees celcius (68-86 F) by putting the jar in a basin of cold water. 2) Keep the thermometer in the jar so you can closely maintain the temperature between your basins of hot and cold water. 3) Weigh out 70 grams by weight or 18 teaspoons by volume of hexamine. Then start adding the hexamin slowly at 1/2 teaspoon at a time over a 15 minute time period. All the while maintaining the temperature between 20 and 30 degrees celcius by moving it in and out of the cold water basins. 4) When all the hexamin is dissolved in the acid heat the solution to 55 degrees celcius (131 F) by placing the jar in a basin of hot water. Then maintain this temperature for about ten minutes. 5) Now remove the jar from the basin of hot water and place it in the basin of cold water and cool the jar to 20 degrees celcius (68 F). Now when the solution reaches 20 degrees celcius add 3 cups (750ml) of cold water and white salt will appear. 6) Now the white salt is RDX and should be handled with care. Now filter the Acid/Water/RDX solution through a paper towel covering the mouth of another jar. 7) Wash the RDX crystals off the paper towel and add an additional 3 cups of fresh cold water and a teaspoon of sodium carbonate to neutralize the acid. Now stir rapidly for 3 minutes and then filter it out again. 8) It is now usable, but I prefer purifying it by filling a quart canning jar 2/3 full of acetone and heating the acetone then adding the RDX crystals to it a half teaspoon at a time until it completely dissolves in the acetone. 9) Now that it is all dissolved let the solution cool to room temperature and let it stand for one hour. The RDX will then precipitate again into it's salt. Then you must filter it through a paper towel around anothr jar and rinse it with cold water the same way you did before. Now you have the finished product roguhly 1 and 1/2 ounces of RDX. 10) Now store your finished product (after it dries) in a jar with a air tight lid for future use. Seeing that RDX does not lose it's effectiveness for months. -=-=-=- -USES!- -=-=-=- RDX is a very powerful explosive however it can be compressed into tubes to make detonaters. Later in this newsletter I will prescribe a method for making detonaters inwhich RDX will be used along with other explosives before mentioned. RDX however is sensitive to friction, and can be used as an explosive by itself. It is also commonly refered to as Clyclonite. [ ] Mini-Compound Detonater's This is basically a tutorial in making detonaters, and there are a few rules, that I would like each and every one of you to follow. Making detonaters is very very dangerous considering that the purpose of detonaters is for them to be sensitive and easily detonated, so be careful. Also the detonaters I am telling you how to make are small, but the same principle can be applied on a larger scale. -=-=-=-=-=- -MATERIALS- -=-=-=-=-=- Name Source ---- ------ Empty .22 Magnum shells or copper/brass/aluminum Gun stores or Hardware tubing 1/4 inch in diameter and 1 inch long. These Stores tubes must also be closed at one end. A substantial quantity of Secondary Explosive i.e. RDX RDX Article 3 this (amount depends on how many detonaters you intend to issue of "Anarchy make) or PETN can be substituted here. Today" PETN is the center filling of detonating cords. A substantial quantity of primary explosive i.e. Acetone Peroxide Mercury Fulminate or Acetone Peroxide. Article 1 this issue of "Anarchy Today" An ignition charge of black powder. Gun stores FFF black powder. A loading press (commonly used for reloading shells Gun stores also please be safe considering a few of these detonaters may detonate when being compressed, so take the neccessary precautions such as safty glasses etc...) -=-=-=-=-=- -PROCEDURE- -=-=-=-=-=- *NOTE* dirt or oil may sensitive the detonaters to an unsafe level so when handling the primary ad secondary and ingnition charges use tongs. Also boil a bucket of water in the room as humidity helps or if your in a house turn your shower on hot and leave it on! 1) Now light a candle, and let two drops of wax drip into each shell casing before use. Then let the wax cool down. 2) Now fill the casing to a depth of 1/4 inch with RDX or PETN, and then *GENTLY and SLOWLY* insert the ram and compress the explosive slowly and evenly. Now remove the ram slowly and carefully. 3) Continue this process adding small amounts of RDX or PETN until a column of secondary explosive 5/8 of an inch high has been pressed into the 1 inch shell casing. 4) Now add a small amount of Primary explosive the same way you added the secondary explosive on top of the secondary explosive. Now add the Mercury Fulminate or Acetone Peroxide on top of the 5/8 inch column of secondary explosive and compress it with the ram until it reaches a height of primary explosive 1/4 inch high. 5) Now compress the remaining 1/8 of an inch with black powder. Now seal the top with wax paper or tape until ready for use. -=-=-=-=- -DIAGRAM- -=-=-=-=- - ++++++ | |@@@@| | |****| | |****| | |####| 1 INCH------< |####| | |####| | |####| | |####| | |----| - |====| +-+-+ +Key+ +-+-+ @ = Black Powder (Ignition Charge) * = Mercury Fulminate or Acetone Peroxide (Primary Charge) # = RDX or PETN (Secondary Charge) - = Two drops of wax on Bottom + = Tape covering top = = The bottom of shell casing | = Sides of .22 Magnum Shell -=-=-=- -USES!- -=-=-=- These little beauties can be used for almost any purpose or a larger version can be used where a hard to detonate substance is used. Their main use is for minature hand grenades and other small explosives. The next issue of "Anarchy Today" will cover various things such as explosive candles, etc... [ ] Potassium Chlorate/Sugar Ignitor This ignitor is one of my many favorites, it can be ignited by either concentrated sulfuric or nitric acids. It also works excellently as a time delay, which I will detail later. -=-=-=-=-=- -MATERIALS- -=-=-=-=-=- Name Source ---- ------ Potassium Chlorate Drug Stores and chemical supply houses Sugar (Granulated) Grocery Store Measuring Container (Cup, Tablespoon, etc...) Storage Container w/tight fitting lid Mixing Container w/tight fitting lid Two flat boards (one large 36x36 and the other small so it can be held in the hand). -=-=-=-=-=- -PROCEDURE- -=-=-=-=-=- 1) Spread handful at a time the potassium chlorate on the large board and rub with the other flatboard or a rolling pin until the particles resemble granulated sugar. 2) Now measure out 2 parts by volume of sugar into the container, and then add 3 parts by volume of the Potassium Chlorate to the container. Now recap the container and shake the mixture for 4-5 minutes until it has a uniform color and consistency. 3) Store for future use in an air tight container, but remember to shake it up before use to re-mix any settled particles. -=-=-=- -USES!- -=-=-=- Now for a delayed reaction place the acid in a gelatin capsule and bury the gelatin capsule in the Potassium Chlorate mixture. Depending on how many gelatin capsules you use and their size depends on the delay. It can range from 20 minutes to and hour or more. This type of ignitor reaches a temperature of 3,200 degrees farenheit and can ignite most incendiaries. It can also be compacted into a pipe to create a low power pipe bomb. [ ] Sulfur and Aluminum Igniter This is more of a secondary ignitor for those tough to ignite incendiaries such as thermite etc... It is relatively easy to make and safe to handle so therefore it is an excellent ignitor, and it does not lose it's effectiveness quickly. -=-=-=-=-=- -MATERIALS- -=-=-=-=-=- Name Source ---- ------ Fine Aluminum Powder Paint Stores (Bronzing Powder) Sulfur Drug Stores Measuring Container(Cup, tablespoon, etc...) Mixing Container w/tight fitting lid Storage Container w/tight fitting lid (airtight) Two Flat Boards one hand size and the other 36x36 or a big board and a rolling pin -=-=-=-=-=- -PROCEDURE- -=-=-=-=-=- 1) Spread the sulfur out on the board and crush into a fine powder (dust) 2) Measure out 4 parts by volume of finely powdered sulfur to 1 part by volume of aluminum powder. Now mix these two in the mixing container by closing the lid and shaking it up for 4-5 minutes until a uniform color and consistancy are achieved. 3) Store the igniter in a waterproof container until ready for use. Also re-shake before use to re-mix and settled particles. -=-=-=- -USES!- -=-=-=- This is mainly used to ignite thermite. Four spoonfuls of this aluminum/sulfur igniter are added on top of the thermite, and one spoonful of potassium chlorate/sugar igniter is added on top of that. Now when the potassium Chlorate/sugar igniter is ignited it in turn ignites the aluminum/sulfur igniter. This igniter reaches an incredible heat, and should not be watched igniting without dark lensed protective eyewear, as it may cause blindness. [ ] HTH/Brake Fluid Incendiary This is a very effective time delayed incendiary that anyone can make, and get the materials too. It is simple and easy and inexpensive, so enjoy.

Now drill or puncture a small hole in the bottom center of one of the cans. 2) Now drill or puncture a series of small holes evenly spaced in the side of the other can, and cover them with tape. 3) Now tape the top can (the can with one hole) on top of the other can (the one with a lot of holes taped over) 4) Now place this set up in the center of a pile of Calcium Hypochlorite. Now Depending on the delay time required remove the tape from over the appropriate number of holes. 5) To start the delay just add brake fluid to the top can and let it start to drip down. -=-=-=-=- -Diagram- -=-=-=-=- ------------------<------Top Can |________________| || || || || || || || <---------Brake Fluid || || ||_______O<-----------Drip Hole ------------------ ++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++<-------Tape bonding cans together ------------------ | | | O |<------ O's are the delay holes | | |+++++++O++++++++|<------Taped over hole | | | O | &&&&&&| |&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&|+++++++O++++++++|<------Taped over hole &&&&&&&&&&&&&&------------------&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& <---- -- &'s is the Calcium Hypochlorite [ ] Incendiary Timed Delay Moltov Cocktail Please note that the detonating capsules used here will be refered to most likely in a later issue, because they work excellently.

Now fill the smaller half of the capsule 1/4 full of lead shot. Now fill the remaining space with the potassium chlorate/sugar igniter. 2) Now pack it down, and place the larger end cap on the packed main capsule. Now set this aside for later use. Now repeat this process until a number of capsules have been produced. 3) Store in a airtight container for future use. -=-=-=- -USES!- -=-=-=- 1) Now your ready to make the incendiary device. Fill your wine bottle about 1/4 inch high with Sulfuric Acid, and then fill the remaining space 3/4 full of a gasoline/oil mixture in a 1:1 ratio or half gas and half oil (same thing). 2) Now to detonate drop in three or four of the previously prepared capsules, and turn the bottle upside down. (The neck of the bottle downward) 3) What this does is the capsules with the lead shot in them sink to the neck of the bottle where the heavier Sulfuric Acid is concentrated. Now in about 20 minutes the acid will eat through the capsules and a white hot flame will explode the bottle dispersing the gasoline and oil mixture. 4) For a prolonged time delay place the capsule inside a larger capsule.

The hole should be big enough for you to pour the nitrobenzene into later and big enough to fit a detonater into. 4) Now pack the bottom half tightly with Potassium Chlorate, very tightly leaving no extra room. 5) Now tape the two halves together tightly, and your pretty much done. -=-=-=- -USES!- -=-=-=- 1) When your ready to use your charge simply pour in the nitrobenzene. The correct ratio is 1 part by volume of nitrobenzene to 4 parts by volume of potassium chlorate. Now if you didn't read this through and keep track of the amount of potassium chlorate you used, then you fucked up and won't get optimum results. 2) Now allow the nitrobenzene to soak in for 4-6 minutes, and then insert your electronically initiated or time fused detonater into the hole. Now seal around the hole with epoxy resin 3) Now use the magnets and the tape to attach the charge 3 feet above the ground with the ball bearing side facing outward. 4) Now you can either use an egg timer or a stepswitch (Underground detonater activated by weight) or you can use the good old time fuse running into a mini-compound detonater.

Now drill a 1/4' diameter hole in the center of the 1/2' long wood or metal cylinder. 3) After the guide has been prepared then glue it in place on the primer inside the shotgun shell casing. *NOTE* do not get any glue on the primer itself. Now place the minicompound detonater open side down in the cylinder and glue it into place. Now fill the remaining space in the shotshell with Potassium Chlorate ***CAREFULLY***. Now close off the end with tape, and when ready to use simply pour in the nitrobenzen activator. 4) After this is accomplished tape a 3/8' steel ball bearing over the primer on the outside of the shell over the primer. Now tape the cloth streamers around the upside of the shell casing to ensure stability in flight and also helping it to land on the downside or primer side. 5) Now tape nails around the shell with notches filed 1/4' apart all along them. -=-=-=-=- -DIAGRAM- -=-=-=-=- \ / \ | / \ \/ \|/ / |\ /\| | \ \ / // / \ \/ // / \ \\||/ ------- |%%%%%%%| |%%%%%%%| |%%%%%%%| |%%%%%%%| |%%+++%%| |%%+++%%| |%%+++%%| |%%+++%%| |&&+++&&| |&&+++&&| ---"--- \ O / ===== +-+-+ +KEY+ +-+-+ + = Mini Compound Detonater & = Wood or Metal Holding Cylinder for Mini-Compound Detonater = = Tape O = Ball Bearing % = Potassium Chlorate/Nitrobenzene High Explosive \ |\/ = Cloth Streamers " = Primer -=-=-=- -USES!- -=-=-=- 1) Pour the nitrobenzene into the upside of the shell and then wait 3-4 minutes.

Minus the cloth streamers or simply make the shell look the way it was before, and some poor shithead will eventually fire it resulting in death. Seeing that the barrel will most likely blow him apart. [ ] Evading Bomb Squad Tactics This article will deal with the modern methods used by police and military bomb squad teams and how to overcome them. Most police forces have a bomb squad or IED(Improvised Explosive Device)unit, but some rely on the army EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) unit. This is done, because small local police forces rarely have a need for a bomb squad or the funding to outrig one with the necessary equipment. Well enough of the background on with the article, in which I will outlay equipment and how to evade it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Police Protection- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- As of the writing of this article the most widely used form of protection is the Canadian Safeco body suits. These suits are made of kevlar and ballistic material and basically protect the pig from shrapnel and shock wave. However there are many design flaws in the suit, which I will outline. (1) The officers hands must be exposed, because gloves would be too bulky to maneuver, and hinder his sense of touch. (2) The other design flaw is the suit weighs a little over 50 pounds, and there is the constant problem of heat stroke etc...; Since the suit is very hot. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Overcoming This Problem- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The solution here is quite simple, and the best option is to leave the best option is to either... (A) Put the bomb out in the direct sunlight if you live in a hot climate. (A hot climate is temperatures in the 98-108 range.) (B) Place the explosive device in a boiler room. (C) Place it under a primary heating duct. (D) Use your imagination your intelligent. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Disarming Robots!- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The police force recently has been employing robots in disarming procedures. The most popular one is the Pedsco RMI a canadian robot that runs on six pneumatic tires; It also has a camera and a claw all of which are controlled remotely. These robots however are pretty much strictly limited to large police forces, because of their cost. The design flaws in this are obvious... (1) It is like the game where you get the prize with the claw. Or in other words it is difficult to operate, and is mainly used for moving the explosive device into a bomb transporter. (2) It only has one camera and one has to become extremely accustomed to the new depth perception via the camera. (3) They are almost never used in disarming procedures since they are too jerky. They are used to move the explosive to a bomb transporter. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Overcoming This Problem- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- There are many different solutions, which can be applied here. I will outline a few of the more interesting ones that won't readily come to mind. (A) This is my personnel favorite employ multiple explosives, and surround your bomb with minurature landmines, which will destroy the disarming robot. (B) Another is to employ a secondary detonator into your device which is shock or sudden movement sensitive, so that if the operator of the claws drops the explosive or jolts it, it will detonate. (C) Another is to attach multiple detonators to the sides of the explosive so that when the claws close in on the device it will detonate. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Portable X-rays- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Police have more often used portable x-ray units. These units are called inspectors, and manufactured by golden. They run on their own batteries and use polaroid x-ray film. These are most effective usually since a relatively accurate x-ray can be procured in less than 20 seconds. The obvious design flaws in the are as follows: (1) Certain materials are not susceptible to x-ray such as lead. (2) It takes a well trained person to interpret an x-ray correctly. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Overcoming This Problem- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The ways of overcoming this are obvious, but I will outlay them here for those of you whose minds are slow. (A) Encasing the explosive device in lead or some other material which will successfully evade the x-ray. (B) Adding shit or miscellaneous metals inside the bomb to confuse the person interpreting the x-ray. -=-==-=-=- -Dearmers- -=-==-=-=- What the fuck is a dearmer you ask? Well a dearmer is usually employed by the bomb squad when it is apparent that device can be made docile by destroying it's wiring.A dearmer is an electronically fired gun that shoots a variety of projectiles at a high velocity into the explosive. The purpose of this is to destroy the wiring rendering the explosive useless. They look like miniature pipes, and can be fired remotely.There are a few design flaws here, but less than before that can be manipulated to our advantage. (1) They can't cut through steel. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Overcoming This Problem- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- (A) The solution here is to encase the wiring in some way to prevent cutting. (B) Another method for those of you who dare is to coat the wiring of the device with a compound that will detonate from shock, and will in turn detonate the explosive. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Bomb Transport Vehicles- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Yes, those oddly shaped vehicles that they carry away our explosives in. Well this took quite a bit of research to find out all of the types, but here it goes. The first type is the spherical transporter, round in shape it is used when even a directed blast could cause injury, death, or destruction i.e. in such areas as where there are tall buildings and a large populous. The other type is either of one cylinder or multiple concentric cylinders with spaces between them. The general purpose of these is to direct the blast upward, so as not to cause injury or destruction. The explosive is suspended in a net in the center of the cylinder. Most of the times these are used to take the device to a safe area for detonation, but are designed just in case the bomb goes KABOOM. Here there really aren't design flaws, but there are ways to overcome his problem. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Overcoming This Problem- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- (A) First make your bombs (Unless the occasion calls for something different) so that they direct the full force of the explosion in one direction. A strong explosive device cannot be contained if it's entire force is sent into one direction. (B) Take advantage of the open cylinder transport vehicle, and direct the force of the explosion downward assuring a hole in the street, and two maimed or mortally wounded cops. [ ] Impact Exploding Arrows These are impact exploding arrows, and how to make them. These babies are lethal, and explode on impact. The obvious advantage to these is that their hit-kill ratio is extremely high, and they are silent (Until they hit). Another obvious advantage is that most of the evidence is destroyed or sprayed over a vast area. Any hit to the torso or head will prove fatal, and most destructive. So on with it another lesson in pain. -=-=-=-=-=- -Materials- -=-=-=-=-=- Materials Source --------- ------ Aluminum Hollow Shafted Arrow Sporting Goods Store RDX Explosive Mini-Compound Detonators (Different) Epoxy Resin Hardware Store Wooden Dowel That Fits Arrow Shaft Hardware Store Drill with Needle Sized Bit Hardware Store Needles Slightly Smaller than Bit Size Anywhere -=-=-=-=-=- -Procedure- -=-=-=-=-=- (1) Remove the arrow head from shaft, and drop 5 drops of epoxy resin in the arrow shaft. Allow drying time according to the procedure outlayed in the instructions on the glue. (2) Now that the glue is dry start adding in the RDX explosive, and loosely packing it down with the wooden dowel. Now continue this process until RDX explosive is within reach of the top leaving enough room to fit a mini-compound detonator and enough room to screw the arrow tip on about 1 1/2 inches. (3) Now Take the arrow tip (Not on the Shaft) and put it in a vise-grip, and drill your needle sized hole. It might be easier to flatten the tip then drill the hole to assure that it is centered. Now set this aside for later use. (4) Now make the mini-compound detonator, but differently this time make it backwards using a .22 shell with primer intact (One that hasn't been fired) Now put in you 1/8 an inch of gunpowder first, then your 1/4 inch of acetone peroxide or mercury fulminate, then your 5/8 of an inch with RDX. However this time pack it very very loosely with the ram, so as not to set off the primer and have it explode in your face. (5) Now set the mini compound detonator in the arrow shaft with the RDX with the primer pointing upwards (Getting the Picture). Now pour a little RDX around the edges of the .22 shell, and then using a FEW drops of epoxy resin secure the mini-compound detonator in place, so that it is PERFECTLY centered. (6) Now screw the arrow tip back on the arrow, and place a needle in the hole you drilled earlier. If the hole is too loose then the needle will fall out, so stuff some paper around it. If the hole is too tight the needle won't hit the primer and detonate the arrow, so drill a little bigger hole. -=-=-=-=- -Diagram- -=-=-=-=- //////////// //////////// /--------------------------------------------------------------| /=========%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%| -- +!@@%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%| \=========%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%| \--------------------------------------------------------------| \\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\ -=-=- -Key- -=-=- + = Primer on .22 Shell % = RDX Explosive ! = Gunpowder @ = Either Mercury Fulminate or Acetone Peroxide \ = Arrow Fins and Tip / = Arrow Fins and Tip - = Side of Arrow and Needle | = Back of Arrow -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Added Interjections- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This is one of the best things I have ever encountered, and has the most potential for fun.

[ ] Guns, Bullets, and The Fine Art of -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Guns-Guns-Guns!- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- First off I will list the various types of calibers of weapons to choose from, and the most feared sniper rifle of all and it's specifications. My personnel favorite and the most feared weapon is the 7.62 ball nato rifle, and in a moment I will demonstrate why. Although don't fret any weapon is lethal hell here is an interesting fact for you. The longest verified sniper kill was executed during the civil war (believe it or not) when a sniper killed a general one mile away. Pistols Muzzel Velocity m/sec Impact Energy at 50m -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 9mm Lugar 338 47 .38 Smith and Wesson 185 16 .357 Magnum 439 101 Submachine-Gun -=-=-=-=-=-=-= .45 Thomson 280 58 Rifles -=-=-= 7.62 Ball Nato 855 380 5.56mm Armalite 990 173 Obviously you can now see how overrated the .357 magnum is the 7.62 Ball Nato is 3 times more powerful, and is also known to easily pierce light armor. Also a special curved windscreen is employed to stop 5.56 and 7.62 ammo. Well enough bragging on my favorite rifle on with the specs and then you choose your weapon. Fabrique National Snipe Weapons -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= These wonderful people produce a 7.62mm sniper rifle with a removable bipod. This weapon is accurate up to 600 meters away (If thats hard to visualize picture 475 people lying toe to head). It comes standard with a Zeiss Diavari D telescopic sight. It also features an adjustable strap and variable butt length. This comes in handy when your intended victim takes his time. This weapon is mainly used by Belgium police forces in anti-terrorist operations however it can be bought in the U.S. The weapon also holds 4 rounds with a fifth shell in the chamber. McMillan M-82 and M-86 Sniper Weapons -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This is one of the local police weapons used for sniping however it is one of the best ones on the market. The only drawback here is, it is bolt action, and if you are a lousy shot your in trouble. However it comes from the factory with a fiberglass stock, and a 24 inch, 1 in 12 twist stainless steel barrel. It also comes with the ultra 10x-M1 scope, however to use this weapon to it's full ability I suggest shopping around for a better scope, and having it calibrated to at least 700 yards. Garrand M1A -=--=-=-=-= The ultimate in the sniper rifles on the commercial market. The only weapon that even comes close is the german made Springer, but that's too hard to find. This weapon is accurate as hell with a 1000 yard+ range. It is a heavy weapon, and this reduces the kick. It was primarily used by the marines in Vietnam era. These weapons can be found in collectors stores i.e. Collectors Firearms or bought through the NRA (National Rifle Association), but if you buy through the NRA you tend to have a wait period of 6 months. I highly recommend this weapon it is the cutting edge of the technological age on the field of honor. Where to Get Your Shit -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Weapons Scopes -=-=-=- -=-=-= G. McMillan & Co.

Simple enough eh? Well thats it, now what this bullet does instead of breaking apart is it stays whole, and is capable of piercing through bullet proof vests at long ranges, not to mention steel. Another method is to make your bullets out of different materials like tungsten, steel, etc... However this article is not going to go into how to cast bullets. Since there are many books on it in various gun stores, etc.... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Exploding Destroyer- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This is my own version of the dum dum bullet. O.K. take your bullet, and cut off the end and sand it down, so that it is flat. Now take a knife and cut an asterisk (*) into the bullet. On impact this bullet will explode and spray into about 15 pieces of shrapnel, and totally destroy it's target. -=-=-==-=-=- -Evil Eddie- -=-=-==-=-=- This is another of my bastard creations. Take a hollow point bullet, and fill the hollow point with mercury. Now take a soldering iron, and drip a drop of solder over the point to seal it in. Note: Sometimes it is necessary to widen the hollow point, so the bullet will fill with mercury. Now what this does is when the bullet is shot the mercury heats up and expands, and rips apart the victim, and if it doesn't kill him with the first shot the mercury gets into his blood and poisons him. This one is a sure fire lethal shot! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -Poison Bullets- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Now with these the poison is your preference, and you can either (A) put the poison in the tip of a hollow point and seal it in, or (B) heat poison over a regular or dum-dum bullet. The one that works the best is the hollow point with poison sealed inside, and coated and heated on the outside. Now you can either use cyanide or mercuric oxide works well. However there are hundreds of other poisons to choose from like botulinis toxin, etc.... [ ] Elimination by Poisoning ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the beginning of time, there have always been dickheads, assholes, rapists, thieves, murderers, and the dog next door that bites the shit out of each time you walk by. And since the beginning of these problems there has always been the process of elimination. This file explains how to kill the dog next door through the modern technique of poisoning. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- | ETHYLENE GLYCOL | ----------------- Ethylene Glycol is simply antifreeze such as Prestone, Zerex, etc. It has a sweetish-like taste to it and can be easily concealed in a bowl of punch, or someones softdrink. At a party or banquet, ethylene glycol can be easily poured from a container such as a kool-aid pitcher into the party punch. Be sure it is mixed with a package of kool-aid or something so that you don't arouse any suspicion. The lethal dosage of this is about four ounces and the good thing about ethylene glycol is that a person that is dying from it simply appears to be drunk... ---------------------- | CARBON TETRACHLORIDE | ---------------------- Carbon Tetrachloride can be easily obtained from fire extinguishers or grease cleaning fluids found in auto supply stores. Carbon Tetrachloride is used in making phosgene gas which is highly lethal and was used in World War I. The gas is made by heating carbon tetrachloride over a flame or hot plate. It is only effective in a closed room. A good way to utilize this is to set a pan full of it on a heater. People seeing it will just think its water often placed on heaters to keep the air from being too dry. Carbon tetrachloride has the smell of musty hay and will most likely be ignored or someone will bring there can of lysol and spray the air with it. ---------- | NICOTINE | ---------- Nicotine is a highly lethal, horrifying poison. One drop of pure nicotine has been known to kill in less than fifteen minutes. Its taste is easily concealedd in sweet substances such as wine, soda, kool-aid, etc. Almost pure nicotine can be obtained from the round flat boxes of snuff. Pour the snuff out into a container and add enough water to cover it all. Let it soak for 24 hours then take a handkerchief and stuff it into a cup with the edges of the hand-kerchief over the sides. Pour the shit into the handkerchief so that the liquid is filtered out from the snuff. Squeeze the handkerchief to get out any excess liquid. Discard the snuff and pour the liquid into a small saucepan over a low fire. When the liquid has evaporated to about a small teaspoon of a thick dark substance your poison is finished. A lethal dosage is about two or so drops. ------------------ | NICOTINE SULFATE | ------------------ This is one of the most interesting poisons of mine. It is obtained as an insect poison found under several names. One of the most common is Black Leaf 40, found at any garden store. It is 40% nicotine sulfate. It is most effective if it is evaporated to a thin syrup. The interesting thing about nicotine sulfate is that it is absorbed through the skin. An effective way to use this is to carry it around in a softdrink then "accidentally" spill on victim. If he does not wash it off in a matter of seconds he'll be dead in a matter of minutes. Most likely, the victim will just forget about it if he thinks it is just a softdrink. ------------------ | HYDROCYANIC ACID | ------------------ Hydrocyanic acid (Prussic Acid) is one of the most poisonous compounds known. It is quite simple to prepare and is extremely deadly. A good way to use this is to put it in a water piston. Use a newspaper and proceed to walk pass the victim as you read the newspaper. When you near him squirt him in the face and continue walking. Before he realizes he has been attacked he'll fall uncon-scious. Within three minutes he'll be dead. To start the process you will need the following items: Potassium Ferrocyanide This can be stolen from your school lab or purchased from a chemical supply house. Distilled Water Found at your common grocery store Sulfuric Acid Can be obtained by emptying the watery contents from a car battery and boiling it in a glass container until thick white fumes appear or you steal it from your school lab. Calcium Chloride Can be obtained by breaking up chalk and letting it soak in hydrochloric acid (obtained at a hardware store) and then drying it. Measure out 15 parts of potassium ferrocyanide and dump it into a flask. Next add 9 parts of distilled water and 9 parts of strong sulfuric acid (pour the acid slowly). Then take another flask and put in some coarse fragments of calcium chloride. Your apparatus should look like this: To air out flask Plastic Tubing _________________________ _____________________________ / | | Rubber | / / | | Stopper------- |Bucket with / | / ------- \ / |ice and / | | \ / ------- |water / | | ------- | | | / | | | | | | | / | | | | | | | / | | | | | | | \ | | | | / \ | \ ____|___| / \ / Acid \ | \ / | / \ /Potassium\ | \ / | / \ / Water \ | \/ | / Calcium \ / Mixture \ --------------------- / Chloride \ / \ / \ ----------------- ----------------- Plastic tubing (obtained from a tropical fish store) is ran from the acid, potassium, water mixture into a bucket full of ice and water. A small hole is cut near the bottom of the bucket just barely enough to fit the plastic tubing into so that the icy water does not leak. Then the tubing is lead into the flask containing the calcium chloride where the final product will be collected. Start by heating the acid, potassium, water mixture at a low temp, be sure to watch it as it may boil over the top. When the liquid covers the potassium chloride the action is stopped and the apparatus is allowed to cool. The liquid is put into a container with a good stopper. Light and air cause hydro-cyanic acid to lose its potency. The container should be wrapped in foil and stored in a refrigerating device. A few drops of hydrochloric acid will help preserve your cyanic acid. [ ] How to Make Ammonium Nitrate Ammonium Nitrate has been used in times of war when dynamite was limited. In its pure form, ammonium nitrate can be detonated with a 6 dynamite cap at a blast radius of 14,000 feet per second. This file will explain how to purify ammonium nitrate from ordinary fertilizer bought at any garden store at about 9.00 for an 80 pound bag. It also will explain some of the uses of it. Since some of the uses require a blasting cap, I will first explain how to make simple blasting caps that should be sufficient enough to detonate the explosives in this file. Materials you will need: Source: ----------------------- ------ Nitric Acid (concentrated) Stolen from your school laboratory or bought from a chemical supply house. (Look in phone book under lab supplies) Mercury Taken out of old air conditioning switches, buy from a chemical supply house, or steal a bunch of mercury thermometers from a grocery store, etc. First take a bottle and pour 1000 cm (cm cubed) of concentrated, pure nitric acid with a specific weight of 1,42 into the bottle. Then pour 120 grams of mercury into the acid and let it set for 12 hours. After 12 hours put a stopper over the bottle (be sure it is acid resistant) and turn the bottle over so the materials mix (do not shake the bottle unless your committing suicide). After some time fumes may form so be sure to air the container out every so often. After a few hours pour the mixture into a container with a large opening filled with 1280 grams of 95% pure alcohol. After a short time, toxic fumes will form. When this stops, the nitrated mercury will lay at the bottom of the bottle. It must be washed with distilled water and dried in the sun on a glass plate. To make a blasting cap, just take a bullet shell (be sure itis a little bigger than a 22cal.) and fill it about half full of nitrated mercury. Insert 2 wires and connect it to a sufficient power supply and BOOM. Now on to purifying ammonium nitrate. First take a fairly large pan and pour several pounds of fertilizer in it. Pour enough wood alcohol (methanol) to cover the fertilizer. Stir it until you can no longer dissolve any more of the fertilizer. Next, set another pan on some dry ice, which can be found in the phone book under "dry ice". Get the pan extremely cold then pour the dissolved fertilizer into it leaving the undissolved particles in the first pan. The dry ice will cause the ammonium nitrate to precipitate into crystals. When no more crystals are formed, strain them out with a paper towel and allow them to dry. Store it in a tightly closed container. Use for Ammonium Nitrate: Laughing Gas Laughing gas was one of the first anesthetics used. After a little while of inhaling the patient became so happy he could not keep from laughing. Finally he would drift off to a pleasant sleep. To make it, first you need some of the ammonium nitrate that you have learned how to purify. Dissolve a quantity of it in a pot. Then evaporate it in a pot over a medium flame until you have a heavy brine. Take out a cold metal plate and drop a drop of it on the plate. If it solidifies almost instantly then pour the brine onto the metal plate. After awhile break it up into pieces and store it in a container. To make the gas, put a spoonful into a flask and run some plastic tubing from the flask to a plastic bag. Your apparatus should look like this: _____________________ | Plastic Tubing \ ------- \ _______________ \ / \ / | ------- \ / | | | \ / Plastic | | | \____/ Bag | | | \ | | | \ | | | \ | | | \______________| | | / \ / \ / Ammonium \ / Nitrate \ / Brine \ / \ -------------------- To generate the gas, heat the flask under a low flame, when the temperature reaches 480 F the gas will generate. Be careful, the stuff explodes at 600 F so it is advised that you put a thermometer in the flask, otherwise your parents will spend thousands on plastic surgery for you. After the plastic bag is full, stop the process and poke a small hole in the bag. Hold it under your nose and inhale and whee.....have fun.. [ ] Ammonium Nitrate/Aluminum Explosive This is a simple, dry explosive that requires ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder (aluminum powder can be made by filing an aluminum rod bought at any hardware store). To begin, take a handful of ammonium nitrate and put it on a large flat board. Take another board large enough to fit in the palm of your hand and rub the pile of ammonium nitrate vigorously until it is a fine powder. Measure out 4 parts of ammonium nitrate to 1 part aluminum powder. Put these in an air tight container and shake it back and fourth until they are thoroughly mixed. To make the explosive, you will need one of the blasting caps shown how to make in the beginning of this file. Take a pipe with 2 end caps and fill it almost full of the explosive mixture. Insert the blasting cap just beneath the surface. Connect it to a power source and you have successfully completed some-thing you can throw at your mother when she bitches at you. [ ] Zinc Dust/Ammonium Nitrate Igniter This is a water activated incendiary used in various chemical time delays. To start, you will need ammonium nitrate in which you have purified, and zinc dust which may be found at paint stores as bronzing powder or bought from a chemical supply house. Measure out 5 parts of zinc powder to 15 parts of ammonium nitrate and mix them thoroughly in an air tight container. Be sure all the materials you are using are extremely dry, even a trace of moisture may ignite the mixture spontaneously. To make the mixture ignite, simply place a drop or so of water on it. A good delay may be made by using the following diagram: ---------------------- | | | Empty Can | | | | | | | | Small hole at | | bottom of can | Tape cans together ____/---------- ----------- \---------- ----------- | Small hole at | | top of can | | | | Empty Can | | | | /\ | | \/ | | Medium sized hole | | on side of can | ---------------------- To start the delay spread the igniter around the bottom can, then fill the top can with water. The water will begin to drip from the hole in the top can into the bottom can. When the water fills up enough to reach the hole in the side of the can, water will come out onto the igniter thus igniting it. Now that you are familiar with ammonium nitrate and some of its uses, go out and experiment with it. It has millions of uses. [ ] The Art of Deception a Con Man's Game <On-going Series> [--------------] [ Introduction ] [--------------] Most of the cons and scams outlined in this series are of my own device or others. The first ones I will talk about are ones to pull on your friends, and don't worry they shouldn't take it so hard. [------------------] [ Friends and Bars ] [------------------] Well this one is great, but don't pull it on any physics majors, because they might just figure it out. [-----------] [ Materials ] [-----------] Lemon Matches Glass Shallow Plate Water Quarter A few other items to put in just for confusion. [---------------] [ Bar Situation ] [---------------] <This requires at least three people preferably four.> Go into the bar with your friend and sit at the bar. Now when the two of you are sitting at the bar constantly bet on bullshit back and forth until you see someone who looks interested. Now don't be noticeable when he peaks an interest in your betting. Now it is time for the burn. First the set-up 1) Fill the plate with water, and put the quarter into the plate under the water. 2) Now hand your friend a lemon, The matches, and some other bullshit you threw in for confusion. Now bet him that he CAN'T do it. <This is important, because when you insult their ego making them think they can't cons work smoother, but this little side note is for the victim mainly when he tries to get in on the action> And when I say do it I mean get the quarter out of the plate. 3) Now state the rules to him. Saying he has to get the quarter out of the plate without getting his fingers wet, and he can use ANY object on the table. Also state that he cannot drink the water out of the plate, and he cannot scoop the quarter out of the water. 4) Now at this point your friend should turn to the interested party and say,"Do you want to get in on this he just bet me 20-200 dollars that using any of these objects on the table showing him the lemon,matches, and other shit you threw in for confusion. That he could get the quarter out of the water without getting his fingers wet, scooping it,drinking it, or pouring it out. Now usually the person will say hell yes, I'll bet X amount of dollars on this one its easy money. He will most likely try and fail. 5) Now have your third friend who walks in later to hold the money, because he is the "unknown third party" and he holds your money, your friends money, and the suckers money. 6) When he tires himself out trying to get the quarter out of the plate. Then you screw him blue! [-----------------------------------------] [ How to Get the Quarter out of the Plate ] [-----------------------------------------] To get the quarter out of the plate with the water in it. Take your drink and finish it, and now pour the ice into your friends glass. Now take the lemon and stick the pack of matches into it with the heads facing up,and set the lemon into the water with the match heads sticking up. Now light the match heads and set the glass on top of the burning matches as quickly as possible. That is the solution practice it at home what happens is all the water is sucked up into the glass, and now you can pick the quarter out of the empty plate. Now it's time to take the money and run. You will have to experiment with this one awhile to find out exactly how much water is sucked up, what depth to pour the water to, and what size plate to use. [---------------] [ In Conclusion ] [---------------] It works quite well, and the only reason I am giving it out is because it has been used to it's fullest extent by guess who? in guess who's hometown. Running cons like this one work quite well, and no one is truly cheated. In fact you have made them wiser, and for that they should pay you. Knowledge is not cheap and nor are lessons in the arcane. One more note to pull this one on your friends simply bet them it is a lot easier. Another note is that every con should be modified every time it is run. It is the same as running an unmodified board, add your own touches to it and enhance it a little. Another added note is the amount bet depends on the place you go some places people will drop a hundred or more even others people wont. One more note is it is best to have at least 200 dollars on your person. This con isn't run a lot since we figured it out, and are about the only people who ran it. Not to mention you can hit 20 to 30 bars a night and come home with anywhere from 400-5,000 dollars. My personnel best night only yielded me about $3800 roughly, but hey it's a living and not to mention we ran a few others. [ ] The Art of Deception a Con Man's Game <On-going Series> [--------------] [ Introduction ] [--------------] Most of the cons and scams outlined in this series are of my own device or others. The first ones I will talk about are ones to pull on your friends, and don't worry they shouldn't take it so hard. [------------------] [ Taming the Shrew ] [------------------] This one works great when your out of town. I call it Taming The Shrew, because it works best when run on women. In fact I have never successfully or even heard of it being successfully run on a man <Not a Sexist Statement>. This is a checking scam with little to no risk involvement whatsoever. [------------------] [ Materials Needed ] [------------------] Checkbook of PERSONNEL Checks <In a fake name or stolen (see note 1> Victim Car <optional> Note I - When using stolen checks the victim must be totally unaware, and it is good to have a fake I.D. printed up with the checkholders name on it. [-----------------] [ Running the Con ] [-----------------] To run this con you should go to another nearby city or town. Small towns are nice, and work quite well, but we will deal with large cities and big bucks. O.k. now that you have the checks and hopefully an ID <Makes it easier> go to the bank in another town, and wait and watch. What you are looking for is a sucker a lady who looks like she would help a person in need. One of those pathetic loafs of shit who would help anybody in trouble through their supreme stupidity and blind gullibility. 1) After you find your mark <Victim> you go up to the tellers window right next to hers, and try to cash your check. Now try to cash a check for $1,253 dollars. Now the teller won't cash your check especially if your from out of town, and without ID. Going out of town is a must. 2) Now tell the teller a sob story,"Please my money was stolen and I was robbed they took my wallet and everything in it and I just need $300 dollars for food and gas to wherever your sick aunt is<If you have no ID>, but if you have an ID say,"Please for the love of god my aunt is very sick, and I am driving to see her. I am stuck in this town, because my car broke down and I need $1,253 dollars to get it fixed please, please help me etc... 3) Now no matter how much you beg they won't give you shit unless your in a small town then sometimes. Now make sure when you give the story your mark is overhearing every single word you say. Now leave the bank and sit on the concrete outside and whimper, and say,"I am so sorry auntie please god help me please." 4) Now timing is everything when your outside your mark should overhear you whimpering etc... Now most people will offer to help, and help they can. 5) In your whimpering way say, "Please could you cash a check for me and give me the money to get my car fixed please. I'll write you a check it's just that I have to se my aunt she is very sick and my uncle is leaving on business soon and she will be all alone. I swear to you I am good for the money please, oh please help me." 6) At this point if all goes well she will be eating out of your hand don't look happy look grateful. Now take the money and run <not literally> just keep thanking her, and go. 7) Repeat the process at another bank. Notes: Now look don't get frustrated not everyone is so helpful, but in a day you should hit about 40 different banks with at least a 50% success rate. So that is $27,400 in a days work not bad. All it takes is a drive to a city and pull the jobs. Then your out of that town a hell of a lot richer and happier, and the police will be lost to who did it. It is also a good idea to go with three friends that way while one is pulling the con the other two can chat and enjoy themselves also you can alternate.One more note look for your mark outside the bank, and for gods sake don't smoke! Look nice and respectable dress yuppie. [ ] *Street Fighting Gloves* [--------------] [ Introduction ] [--------------] These are excellent to have handy for self defense. Not only are they intimidating, but very painful to be hit with. [-----------] [ Materials ] [-----------] Gloves <Leather preferably, but knit will do, and not mittens> Flathead Tacks <See diagram one> Black Electrical Tape [-------------] [ Diagram One ] [-------------] | | | --------- This type of tack they are usually silver, and not that hard to find. I believe the correct terminology is Push Tack. [-------------] [ Preparation ] [-------------] These are simple to make, so this should be a relatively short and composed file. 1) Take a glove <right or left> and put it on. 2) Pull out a length of tape that will reach from the middle of your hand all the way over the tip of your finger and to the other side of your hand. <This way both sides of your hand will have about two to three inches of tape over them, and the tape will extend to the end of your finger.> Also don't put the tape on yet. 3) Now take the push tacks and punch them through the tape before you put it on your hand, so that the tacks will have their backs facing your fingers. Now for the space between your knuckles put about four-five tacks, and then put the tape over your hand. <If that wasn't too clear what the meaning here is, the tacks go facing outward and stick to the sticky side of the tape, and then the tape is placed on the finger and over the hand. That way one finger is now armed with four or five spikes. 4) Now repeat the above steps for the other four fingers. 5) Now wrap the tape around your hand six times that way the loose ends from the tape on your fingers out onto your hands won't come off. 6) Repeat the process for the other glove. 7) Now depending on you, you can add more spikes to the bottom of your hand, the sides, the bottom flat half of your hand, and the lower palm of your hand. This is what I suggest you do for the intimidating look. Also when adding spikes make a fist and hit to make sure they are placed correctly. Also note that spikes on the knuckles hurt when you hit! [-------------] [ Diagram Two ] [-------------] Incidentally this is a diagram of a right handed deathglove. _____ | | _____ _____ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _____ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |*****| | | | | |*****| | | |*****| | | | | | | | | |*****| | +++ | | +++ | | +++ | | | |+++++| |+++++| |+++++| | +++ | | | | | | | | | _|*****|__|*****|___|*****|__|*****| | | ______ | | \ \ | | \ \ | | \ \ | | \ \ | | \ \ | | \ \ | +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | \ \___/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | \ | \ | \ | \ | \ | \ | \ | \ | \ | \ | ---------------------------------- [-----] [ Key ] [-----] + = Spikes on Glove * = Knuckles/Joints | = The sides of glove - = The bottom of glove \ = Sides of glove The spikes can be added any way you want it is a creative art of making fighting gloves or deathgloves, and they have a hell of a lot more stopping power than a bare fist.
