                        "How make I a REAL pipebomb"
                                 By Chippy


Well  first  of all in order to make a pipe bomb , you  must  first
have a pipe.  It doesn't matter how big, or how small,  you  could use a
1 inch copper pipe, or you could use a 2 foot long drainage pipe. 
Once you  have  this,  you  will  need  a   few   ingredients  first.   
These ingredients make a substance called  'flash  powder'.  
This can be a lot of  fun if you make a pile of it about  1/4  lbs.  and 
have your  friend light  it  with  a match (some friend).  
Well,  here's  what  you  need:

  1> Potassium Chlorate (get it at any chemical store)
  2> Powdered Charcoal (not briquets, take some ash from the fire place)
  3> Powdered Magnesium (ground up mag. fire starters from camping sections)
  4> Sulfur (you know where to get this!)
  5> Some kind of piping
  6> Hot glue gun, or melted glue
  7> Small drill bit and drill
  8> Tissue paper (ie. Kleenex)
  9> Mist water bottle + sprayer (Windex bottle, etc..)

The magnesium has to be FINE!!! 
The finer the faster! You can get them  in the camping sections  of  Caldor,  and  Sears.  They look like a
block of aluminum on a key chain ($5.00 - $7.00  butthey go a long way!).

Now that you have the stuff,  start the  work.   Find  a  drill  bit
about  the  size of a pencil point,  and drill  a  small hole about  dead
center of the pipe, only drill thru one side of  the  pipe,  don't  drill
both  sides.   
Now you should have a  piece  of  pipe,  with a small hold drilled  into  it.   
After this,  take  some  hot  glue (hot glue  gun or such).   
Take a piece of regular paper (not tissue)  and  stuff  it  into one  end of 
the pipe,  so it plugs up the hole, and  is  about  2cm  into the pipe.   
Now fill that end with melted glue  over  the  paper,  so its about even with 
the pipe, and sit that  down  on  another piece of paper.
Now you should have a pipe with a small hole  in  the center, and one end
with about 2 cm of glue on it, and 2 pieces  of  paper on either side  of
the glue.

So far so good...  now for the flash powder.   
Pour  in  the potassium chlorate  (largest amount).   
Then  pour  in  the  charcoal  (ittle less than the chlorate).
Pour this stuff  into  a  grinding plate, not the pipe. 
Now for the magnesium you filed off the  block  and  ground up finally,  
make this a bit  less  than  the  charcoal  amount.  
Lastly add  the  sulphur,  only a little though,  about  half  as  much  as  
the magnesium  you  just put in.   
Now grind  all  the  ingredients  together until they look like  1  grey dust.   
Try a little bit (no not the whole damn thing! save that for the fun later!).  
Light it and see how fast it goes  off.   
Your  gonna  have  to fiddle with it until it turns out  the

fastest (sounds like something else eh?).

Now that you have the flash powder ready,  stick a piece of  tape
over the small hole you drilled (so nothing spills out).  
Put the pipe over  a sheet of regular paper so you don't loose any of this 
precious flash powder and start to poor it into the pipe.   
One the pipe  seems full,  place  a piece of paper over the opening in that 
end,  and pack that piece of paper, and the powder down into the pipe.

Take  the paper out,  and pour more powder in.   
Keep  doing  his until  its very well packed,  and its almost full!  
Make sure that the flash powder fills above the small hole you drilled!  
Now put a  piece of  paper over the powder, and give it one last pack 
(a small rod, and a hammer will do just fine, but make sure you don't get 
any sparks!!).

After that, pour in your final glue in the end you just packed,
make sure it fills to about 2 cm of glue in that end, over the paper!
Stick another piece of paper over that end (just glued) and  let  it
dry, but when drying put it on a flat surface so it hardens flat!
While your waiting for it to dry, take your tissue paper, and lie
it  down flat on the table,  over a piece of cardboard or something if
its  a good table!!  Now mix some water with the flash  powder  (about
1/2-1/2  mix).   
No  it  won't  kill the powder.   
Now  shake  up  the bottle, and  spray the tissue paper with the 
mixture Let  it  dry, and repeat  the sequence.   
After about 4 shots on 1 side,  repeat on  the other  side 
(flip the tissue paper).  Continue this until your liking.
When this is done,  and the tissue paper is dry,  tear/cut off a small
sheet, roll it, and light it.


If you like it, then fine, if not, then keep spraying it.  
If you like  to, before rolling  it,  pour in some  flash  powder  
(not  too much!!!)  and roll it like a joint.   
Then twist it.   Y
ou now have  a fuse (really?!?!).  
Make sure its long!!

Now for the final assembly. 
Take the tape off the small hole you drilled,  and  poke  thru the powder 
with a pencil point/ice  pick  or whatever (or the drill bit!).   
If you REALLY want to, then put a drop of glue to hold the fuse in better,  
but you don't have to!!  (not too much!).   
Now  make sure the glue has hardened for about 1 hour or  so until its rock 
hard (no ideas!).

You are now the proud owner of a home made PIPE BOMB.   
Great for parties/special occasions, weddings, Russians, mail boxes and 
anything else you want to do.  
When you light this bomb,  point the end in the direction you are gonna 
be running in, and don't throw it (unless your crazy, 
and in that case,  I don't give a shit!) so it doesn't frag in your face!!

If  you  really want to fancy it up, you can always  use  threaded
steel end caps!!!!!!

Well I hope you enjoyed your fun today, and happy bomb making!

MzL!
