ball out of the paste that just fits into the tube. Allow the ball to dry.

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.

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.

If the ball does not ignite, add slightly more pyrodex in step 5.

The balls made for roman candles also function very well in rockets, producing an effect of

falling colored fireballs.

by Exodus

Most, if not all, of the information in this publication can be obtained through a public or

university library. There are also many publications that are put out by people who want to

make money by telling other people how to make explosives at home. Adds for such appear

frequently in paramilitary magazines and newspapers. This list is presented to show the

large number of places that information and materials can be purchased from. It also

includes fireworks companies and the like.

Two manuals of interest: Duponts "Blaster's Handbook", $20 manual mainly useful for rock

and seismographic operations. Atlas's "Powder Manual" or "Manual of Rock Blasting" (I

forget the title, it's in the office). This is a $60 book, well worth the cash, dealing with

the above two topics, plus demolitions, and non-quarry blasting.

2 15.Checklist for Raids on Labs by Exodus

In the end, the serious terrorist would probably realize that if he/she wishes to make a

truly useful explosive, he or she will have to steal the chemicals to make the explosive

from a lab. 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

GASES ____ Sulfur (flowers of)

____ Hydrogen ____ Mercury

____ Oxygen ____ Potassium Nitrate

____ Chlorine ____ Potassium Hydroxide

____ Carbon Dioxide ____ Phosphorus

____ Sodium Azide

____ Lead Acetate

____ Barium Nitrate

Print this sheet out and carry it with you! Memorize it, anything. It is INVALUABLE. All

of these chemicals should be carried in your school lab. Happy hunting. :)

2 16.Misc Anarchy by Exodus

Tennis ball cannons and other 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 potato chip cannon, originally designed around the Pringles potato chip

can, was built similarly. Ours used coke cans, six with the top and bottom removed, and the

seventh had Bottle opener holes all around one end, the top of this can was covered with a

grid or piece of wire screening to keep the tennis ball from falling all the way to the

bottom. 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 something 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 45ΓΈ 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.

More Fun Stuff for Terrorists

Carbide Bomb

This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Exercise extreme caution.... 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 acetylene

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 sparkplug, 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. Attach the wire (this is regular insulated 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!! Again

be careful that no one is behind you! I have seen some of these flames go 20 feet!

Balloons

Balloons 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 balloon tight, and drop it out the window to the

burnouts below, you know, the ones that are always smoking, they love to pop balloons with

lit cigarette.... get the picture? Good.

2 17.Combo Locks II by Exodus

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 (known

as the shackle) 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 you don't know the combination to begin with).

To bypass this hassle, simply take a thinned hairpin (file it down) or a opened out piece of a

collapsing antenna (the inside diameter of the curved piece of metal should be the same as

the diameter of the shackle- if the metal is too thick, use fine sandpaper to thin it down.

Once you have your hair pin (make sure it's 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

jimmy various locks.

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 it to open.

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 shim in.

2 18.Misc Anarchy II by Ragner Rocker

Many of you out there probably have fantasies of revenge against teachers, principals and

other people who are just assholes. Depending on your level of hatred of this person I

would advise that you do some of these following experiments:

Pouring dishsoap into the gas tank of your enemy - many of you already know that gasoline

+ dishsoap (e.g. joy, palmolive, etc.) form a mixture called napalm. Now napalm is a

jelly-like substance used in bombs, flame-throwers, etc. Now you can only guess what

this mixture would do to someone's fuel line! !

Spreading dirty motor oil/castor oil on someone's exhaust pipe - when the exhaust pipe

heats up (and it will! ) the motor oil or castor oil on the pipe will cause thick, disgusting

smoke to ooze forth from the back of that car. Who knows maybe he/she might be

pulled over and given a ticket!

Light Bulb Bomb

Simple smoke/stink bomb - you can purchase sulfur at a drugstore under the name flowers

of sulfur. Now when sulfur 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 sulfur. Fill the

can with sulfur (pack very lightly), put aluminum 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 at least I hope so.

FUN WITH ALARMS

A fact I forgot to mention in my previous alarm articles is that one can also use

polyurethane foam in a can to silence horns and bells. You can purchase this at any

hardware store as insulation. It is easy to handle and dries faster.

Many people that travel carry a pocket alarm with them. This alarm is a small device that

is hung around the door knob, and when someone touches the knob his body capacitance

sets off the alarm. These nasty nuisances can be found by walking down the halls of a

hotel and touching all the door knobs very quickly. if you happen to chance upon one, attach

a 3' length of wire or other metal object to the knob. This will cause the sleeping business

pig inside to think someone is breaking in and call room service for help. All sorts of fun

and games will ensue.
