Construction of a Timed Electronic Detonator

by Ziggy

This essay will explain the procedure of construction of a timed electronic detonator. This contrivance is inexpensive to and easy to build. It is very simple. It would have to be, with the help of a book from Radio Shack, (Understanding Solid State Electronics, Texas Instruments Learning Center) I designed it. The device’s components can be easily obtained at almost any local department and/or hardware ...

Composition C-4

Composition C-4

This is the standard-issue plastic explosive used by the U.S. military. I recieved most of my early demo training in the army, which spoiled me for C-4. It retains its moldability over a wider range of temperatures, doesn't exude liquid (as does Semtex), and is pound-for-pound the most powerful explosive in common use. Its power, stability, and versatility are un- equalled. C-4 is in such demand and so well thought of that...

Cheap Diversion Bomb

by The Vandal

A diversion bomb isnt actually a bomb at all but it can be used for diversions. Take a small plastic water bottle (the one used here is 16.9 FL OZ) and take the cap off. Fill the bottom of the bottle with about 1 teaspoon of gunpowder. Take the cap and drill a very small hole in the top of it. You can also heat up a sewing needle and use it to melt a hole through the cap. The hole should be large enough to accommodate for a 3-inch...

Calcium Carbide: An Anarchist's Best Friend

Calcium carbide is a rock/powder substance that reacts violently with water to produce acetylene gas. This gas is highly flammible, so store the C.C. in a dry bag or can.

Anyway, there are many advantages to using C.C., one of which is its ability to be concealed and another is its ease of use.

For fun, put some C.C. in a gelatin vitamin capsule and flush it down the toilet at...
