Making explosives is very dangerous even if the recipes are right. I personally knew many kids who lost fingers, eyes and other body organs due to careless handling of homemade explosives. Probably, the important thing to do before bombmaking is to learn the safety rules.
I agree with you though that certain recipes and chemicals are unsafe no matter how carefully to handle them.
Especially chlorates, perchlorates, fulminates and azides. You want something which isn't shock sensitive. If someone is going to write such a book it should include good instructions for fuel-air explosives. These can be little more than a container of gasoline atop a small hig-explosive charge to atomisze, disperse and ignite the fuel. They can produce incredible pressure waves from relatively small amounts of material. --Steve PGP mail preferred Fingerprint: FE 90 1A 95 9D EA 8D 61 81 2E CC A9 A4 4A FB A9 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Schear | tel: (702) 658-2654 CEO | fax: (702) 658-2673 First ECache Corporation | 7075 West Gowan Road | Suite 2148 | Las Vegas, NV 89129 | Internet: azur@netcom.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- I know not what instruments others may use, but as for me, give me Ecache or give me debt.
