re: #272 MandyManners

I’ll be sure not to let The Kid know. He wants to make stuff go “boom”.

The old CIA/Army Special Forces Improvised Munitions Black Book included a how-to on creating dust explosions (which are actually a primitive category of thermobaric munition, about two notches below a FAE). I won’t go into details, but it involved any reasonably easily-obtained form of HE and a “cover”; gasoline, flake painter’s aluminum, whatever.

Also lighting the fuze and running like hell.

I’d suggest not letting The Kid get his hands on that book, just for your own peace of mind.

cheers
