This file deals with how to make M-80's or similair type small explos- ive
|
|||
|
|
charges that make LOUD noises.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The hardest part with making M-80's is the powder. The kind of powder that you
|
|||
|
|
want is the silver type used in firecrackers. It is made of Potassium
|
|||
|
|
Perchlorate KCIO , Aluminium & Sulfur.

You can take apart firecrackers...or, you can make it out of the above ingre-
|
|||
|
|
dients. Get each of these in as fine of powder as you can. Obtain a postage
|
|||
|
|
or any small scale and mix them BY WEIGHT in the folloing ratios.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1 pt. - Powdered sulfur
|
|||
|
|
1 pt. - Powdered Aluminium
|
|||
|
|
2 pts. - Potassium Perchlorate KCIO

|
DO NOT use potassium chlorate, it will explode violently when mixed with
|
|||
|
|
sulfur.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Stir the powder well with a piece of wood in a plastic bowl.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Next, you will need something to contain the powder in. Get some thick
|
|||
|
|
cardboard tubing with a diameter of 1/2 to 3/4" You can find tubing anywhere.
|
|||
|
|
I have found a gold mine where I work, I just grab the Cardboard tubes regis-
|
|||
|
|
ter receipt tape is wrapped around. The thicker the sides of the tube are, the
|
|||
|
|
better. The actual M-80 I have. (Not Home Made) is 1 1/2" long and has a
|
|||
|
|
diameter of 1/2".
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Third, you will need fuse, where I live, a sporting goods store sells it under
|
|||
|
|
the name to cannon fuse for 15 cents a foot, but it really should be Waterproof
|
|||
|
|
fuse. You can pull it out of any number of fireworks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you have gotten all that, now you need end-plugs. I personally use one of
|
|||
|
|
those hot melt glue guns. Works great. You can use Elmers Glue-All but it
|
|||
|
|
takes a long time to dry. Or, you can get a piece of wood dowel that
|
|||
|
|
telescopes into your tube, cut 1/4" thick discs and smear Elmer's on them
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To Assemble:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Put in one endplug, with whatever method you are using, let it dry, harden or
|
|||
|
|
whatever it has to do. Drill your fuse hole in the center of the tube. Put in
|
|||
|
|
the fuse and pour the powder in. Put in the other endplug. Glue or whatever
|
|||
|
|
and Viola, a M-80. Don't worry about pouring hot glue on the powder mixture,
|
|||
|
|
it won't ignite.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I have never had a homemade M-80 I wasn't proud of. The powder mixture
|
|||
|
|
detailed above has some astonishing capabillity. Use the above well, and try
|
|||
|
|
not to hurt yourself (or anyone else.) unless you hate them that is...
