Welcome to Gaia! ::

I need to know too! I like blowing things up!

ok well to turn it into a giant firecracker...

I can't believe im telling you how to do this..... ay..

Well anyways you crack open all the firecrackers and put it in a bottle... etc..

something with a lid, after you have done that, put a fuse in the lid By making a hole with a nail etc. NOT TO BIG or no explosion!

Now after you have done that, glue the cap to the bottle.... then glue your fuse in place, but make sure you have enough fuse to RUN LIKE HELL and get away from it.

You dont need that much powder for this to work, easiest thing we used to do was about 30-50 black cat firecrackers, took out the powder, and put into a baggy or seran wrap, make sure you put it at the top of the bottle so your fuse can reach it, but make sure you leave enough plastic out around the top so you can pinch it in place with your cap.

Then do the whole glue thing again, and wallah! You now have a big bad a** firecracker...

BE CAREFUL PLEASE!!!!


thats just the easy way to do it.

If you had enough gun powder go down to the hardware store get a 1inch pipe, with threaded caps, and some heavy duty like 2 ton epoxy, or the highest epoxy you can find.

Pour all your gun powder into the tube, but only fill it like 1/2 way! you need some room for air too you know.. unless you plain on buying an oxidizer with it... which is called, potassium nitrate or salt peter...

then do the same thing with the other cap by drilling a whole in it for the fuse. Insert your fuse at least 1/2 into the tube, you will need at least 5-6 inches of fuse. Cannon fuse will work nicely if you dont have any. You can also try soaking a shoelace into a solution of 1/2 powder 1/4 water 1/4 oxodizer and see if this works. I have not tried this method because it can be very tedious and it may not work at all. Thus using up your powder for you KABOOM!

make sure you wrap it up this time with some tape. Lots and lots of tape. Get some black electrical tape to make it look awesome! And for a finishing touch get some red paint, scribble TNT, The Big OnE, Mr. Kaboom! Or something like that on the side. BE VERY VERY VERY CAUTIOUS if you use metal, as banging this one around can create a spark, as well as when you screw on the CAPS.

These size bombs are NOT SOMETHING TO ******** AROUND WITH. PERIOD.

Thank You have a nice time blowing s**t up.

Another method. Sparklers...

Bunch a bunch of them together.... leave one sticking out long enough. This is your fuse. Light the fuse, put them under a bucket.. GET BACK. Watch the bucket go kaboom and launch into the sky. You have just now had some fun with your sparkler. You can also experiment by lighting a sparkler and dropping it into a soda bottle. Sparklers have their own oxidizer so they will keep burning and producing smoke no matter what. Unless they are under water of course. Screw the cap one really really fast, and RUN THE FASTEST YOU HAVE EVER RUN. DO NOT HOLD THE BOTTLE IN YOUR HAND.. FOR GOD SAKES. IF YOU ARE NOT FAST ENOUGH YOU WILL NOT have a hand.

Also experiment with Chlorine tabs, and water in a water bottle. BUT... i might add some dumb a** got his hand blown off with this method. SO DO NOT TRY THIS ONE. THIS ONE IS JUST FOR REFERENCE.






Now onto the permit deal. You need permits to buy black powder/Gun powder in CA. Im not sure about other parts of the world. I have not yet tried to buy some. If you have a gun liscence and you tell them you are going to be pouring and making your own homemade shell because you have a till etc.. then you MAY be able to find some. Usually you have to have a DAMN GOOD REASON before they will sell you some.

I would watch but i would have to be very far away from the explosion

It not against the law untill you get caught wink

thanks ^_^
