If they continue arguing, they will both be banned. Indefinately.

Several posts from the both of you have been deleted, because those posts contained nothing but your bitching back and forth. Post something useful, or don't post.

Final warning.

I dont know if any has said this yet but the cardboard on those clothes hangers work pretty good.

For smokeless powerder and cherrybombs i use thin, cheap contact lense cases that i can find at wal-mart. Also some magic supply or firework surplus stores sell exploding (also called flaming, buring, magic flame etc...) paper that is good to line casings with and attach to fuses. makes sure that ignition happens fast.

pvc pipe is good for larger explosives too. if you scour the outside with a saw, smaller shrapnel pieces can be made too.

I honestly would rather that many of the kewls on this site would just die, but the repercussions means that there are further restrictions on fireworks and chemicals. If you don't like being corrected, don't make mistakes.

Pvc tubes are nice and cheap for blasting caps. Dustbin bags with HE wrapped around another plastic bag with booster that is connected to a blasting cap will fully detonate when dugg in under some sand. don't even have to cover it with sand, just bury a bit

[pyrokitty14]

co2 cartridges work great in terms of shrapnel and loudness but if it's blasting caps you want i do not know.







edit: the co2 cartridges are very deadly and you don't have to fill them with explosives. you can just set 'em on fire and they blow up.

This will explode but it is not a Pyrotechnic Explosion Per'se, (Dont know how to spell that lol) as CO2 is not flammable.

All that is happening is that the gas is heating and therefore expanding with a pressure that cannot be contained, causing the casing to rupture.

Not being pedantic but these things shold be cleared up for the absolute beginners visiting this forum.

Im not trying to be a dick BTW.

Ya I use them all the time. I usually stuff a cut piece from a straw with AP. It works very well.

[X-ray Cat]

Have you detonated anfo with the straw?

[killerofall]

I never used it for anything other than sparkler bombs (crushed up the stuff on sparklers and put them in a pill bottle) but a bigger straw from a gas station (QT) fits a firecracker so if you take a firecracker and break it in half it will shoot out a stream of sparks and ignight whats in the straw. I use water dynomite with just a litle bit of paper towell wraped around it. gives you about a ten second fuse.

Also made a airsoft cannon out of a barrel out of an airsoft gun and same type of explosive.

Why use a cap for a sparkler powder based "charge" ?

a flame would work just fine!

If not its hard to ingnite and only about 20% will go off the rest just blows away with a flame. I just used the sprkler powder crushed up not what most people consider a sparkler bomb. I found all this out threw lots of trial and error.

I did this years ago before i was able to get any real black powder, or knew how to make anything.
