Acetone Peroxide Explosive
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Acetone Peroxide is a primary explosive that can be made from hair bleach
|
|
(Hydrogen Peroxide), acetone, and sulfuric acid. This explosive is to be used
|
|
in the fabrication of detonators.
|
|
|
|
MATERIAL REQUIRED: SOURCES:
|
|
----------------- -------
|
|
Hydrogen peroxide Hair bleach (15-25 volume content)
|
|
Drug stores and hair supply houses
|
|
|
|
Acetone Hardware stores, drug stores
|
|
|
|
Sulfuric acid Clear battery acid boiled until white
|
|
fumes appear
|
|
|
|
Eye dropper or syringe with glass tube Drug store
|
|
|
|
Graduated cylinder (cc or ml) or other
|
|
measuring device
|
|
|
|
Thermometer (0 to 100 degrees C)
|
|
|
|
Glass containers, beakers
|
|
|
|
Large pan
|
|
|
|
Ice and salt
|
|
|
|
Water
|
|
|
|
Paper towels or coffee filters
|
|
|
|
PROCEDURE:
|
|
---------
|
|
1) Measure 30 milliliters of acetone and 50 milliliters of hydrogen peroxide
|
|
into a glass container and mix thoroughly.
|
|
|
|
2) Cool the acetone/peroxide mixture by placing its container in a larger one
|
|
containing a mixture of water, salt, and ice.
|
|
|
|
Note: Because of the lighter inner container being buoyant in the larger outer
|
|
container, it is necessary to secure it so that it wont fall over into the ice,
|
|
salt, and water mixture.
|
|
|
|
3) Cool the acetone/peroxie mixture to 5 degrees C.
|
|
|
|
4) Add 2.5 milliliters of concentrated sulfuric acid to the acetone/peroxide
|
|
mixture slowly, drop by drop, with the use of an eye dropper. Stir the
|
|
mixture during the addition of the sulfuric acid with a thermometer, keeping
|
|
the temperature between 5 and 10 degrees C. Should the mixture rise above 10
|
|
degrees C, stop adding the sulfuric acid and continue stirring until the
|
|
temperature drops again to 5 degrees C, then continue adding the sulfuric
|
|
acid.
|
|
|
|
5) After all the sulfuric acid has been added, continue stirring the mixture
|
|
for another 5 minutes.
|
|
|
|
6) Let the acetone/peroxide/sulfuric acid mixture stand in the ice/water/salt
|
|
bath or remove the inner container and place it in an ice box for 12 to 24
|
|
hours.
|
|
|
|
7) After 12 hours white crystals of acetone peroxide will precipitate out of
|
|
the once clear solution. Precipitation should be complete after 24 hours.
|
|
|
|
Caution: At this point the mixture is a primary explosive. Keep away from
|
|
shock, friction, and flame.
|
|
|
|
8) Filter the mixture through a paper towel or coffee filter to collect the
|
|
solid particles.
|
|
|
|
9) Wash the solid particles collected in the paper towel or coffee filter with
|
|
small amounts of ice cold water poured over them. Discard the liquid in the
|
|
container.
|
|
|
|
10) Place these explosive crystals in a container and allow to dry.
|
|
|
|
Caution: Handle the dry explosive with great care. Do not scrape or handle it
|
|
roughly. Keep away from sparks or open flame. Store in a cool, dark, dry place.

Bullseye (Low-High) Explosive
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
A highly effective and powerful low-high explosive can be obtained by simply
|
|
using a fast burning, double based, smokeless pistol powder called Bullseye.
|
|
This propellant is used to reload pistol and revolver cartriges and contains a
|
|
sensitive mixture of nitroglycerin and nitrocellulose.
|
|
|
|
MATERIAL REQUIRED: SOURCES:
|
|
----------------- -------
|
|
Bullseye smokeless pistol powder Gun and sport shops
|
|
|
|
Piece of pipe with end caps Hardware store
|
|
|
|
Compound detonator or time fuse
|
|
|
|
HOW TO USE:
|
|
----------
|
|
1) To use as a low explosive, simply pour the powder into a pipe with end caps
|
|
and ignite with a time fuse. When ignited, the pipe will explode into many
|
|
fragments traveling at a velocity of approximately 600 feet per second. The
|
|
fragmentation can be increased by filing rings around the pipe with a strong
|
|
metal file.
|
|
|
|
2) To use as a high explosive, just pour the powder into a pipe with end caps,
|
|
insert a compound detonator with a fusing mechanism and detonate. When
|
|
detonated, the pipe will fragment into many small fragments travelling at a
|
|
velocity in excess of 20,000 feet per second.
|
|
|
|
Note: Because of the unique mixture of nitroglycerin with nitrocellulose
|
|
(double-base), Bulleseye is one of the few propellants that can be detonated
|
|
with a blasting cap. When detonted, it is as powerful as military TNT and
|
|
should be used to defeat hard targets.

HTH/Naphtha Explosive
|
|
---------------------
|
|
An explosive munition can be made from granular calcium hypochlorite (HTH,
|
|
swimming pool bleach) and petroleum naphtha. This explosive can be detonated
|
|
with a compound detonator.
|
|
|
|
MATERIAL REQUIRED SOURCES:
|
|
----------------- -------
|
|
Granular calcium hypochlorite 70% HTH swimming pool purifier, Swimming
|
|
pool supply places
|
|
|
|
Benzine (petroleum naphtha) Hardware and paint stores, cleaning
|
|
fluid, paint thinner
|
|
|
|
Mixing container (bowl, bucket, etc.)
|
|
|
|
Storage container (jar, can) with tight
|
|
fitting lid
|
|
|
|
Blasting cap, compound detonator
|
|
required
|
|
|
|
Strong pipe with end caps Hardware stores
|
|
|
|
PROCEDURE:
|
|
---------
|
|
1) Measure out 32 part by volume, 27 parts by weight, of calcium hypochlorite
|
|
to 1 part by volume, 1 part by weight, of petroleum naphtha into the mixing
|
|
container.
|
|
|
|
2) Stir until thoroughly mixed with wooden stirring rod
|
|
|
|
HOW TO USE:
|
|
----------
|
|
1) This mixture forms a low power/brisant high explosive which should be used
|
|
under strong confinement and only as an explosive filler for antipersonnel
|
|
fragmentation bombs. To use, spoon this mixture into an iron or steel pipe
|
|
which has an end cap on one end.
|
|
|
|
2) Insert a compound detonator just beneath the surface of the explosive and
|
|
screw the other end cap on with a hole for the fuse.
|
|
|
|
Note: Take care not to tamp or shake the mixture in the pipe. If the mixture
|
|
becomes tightly packed, one cap will not be sufficient to detonate the
|
|
explosive.

Potassium Chlorate/Sulfur Explosive
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
An impact sensitive explosive can be made from potassium chlorate and
|
|
sulfur. This explosive can be used as a filler when making reuseable primers or
|
|
as a filler when making impact sensitive fragmentation bombs.
|
|
|
|
MATERIAL REQUIRED: SOURCES:
|
|
----------------- -------
|
|
Potassium chlorate Drug stores and chemical supply houses
|
|
|
|
Sulfur Drug stores
|
|
|
|
Measuring container (cup, tablespoon,
|
|
etc.)
|
|
|
|
Mixing container (jar, can) with tight
|
|
fitting lid
|
|
|
|
Two flat boards (like in section I-29
|
|
above)
|
|
|
|
PROCEDURE
|
|
---------
|
|
1) Spread a handful at a time of potassium chlorate on the large flat board and
|
|
rub vigorously with the other flat board or rolling pin until the large
|
|
particles are crushed into a very fine powder (approximately 10 minutes per
|
|
handful).
|
|
|
|
Caution: Thoroughly clean and dry both boards before using again with a
|
|
different substance.
|
|
|
|
2) Repeat this process using the sulfur.
|
|
|
|
3) Measure 7 parts by volume, 11 parts by weight, of powdered potassium
|
|
chlorate and 1 part by volume, 1 part by weight, of powdered sulfur into the
|
|
mixing container.
|
|
|
|
Caution: This mixture forms an extremely shock sensitive explosive, especially
|
|
between two metal surfaces. Reasonable care should be exercised from this point
|
|
on.
|
|
|
|
4) Gently tumble the mixing container between the hands until the ingredients
|
|
are thoroughly mixed together.
|
|
|
|
5) Place the mixed explosive in a tightly sealed storage container until ready
|
|
to use.
|
|
|
|
Caution: Do not store the mixed explosive more than 5 days before using. KEEP
|
|
THIS EXPLOSIVE DRY AT ALL TIMES!
|
|
|
|
HOW TO USE
|
|
----------
|
|
1) This explosive can be used either to fill primer caps for reloading
|
|
ammunition or it can be used to make the following palm-sized fragmentation
|
|
bombs:
|
|
|
|
A) Obtain a short section of threaded water pipe with two end caps.
|
|
|
|
B) Thread one end cap onto the pipe and fill 1/4 full with steel ball bearings.
|
|
|
|
C) Fill the remaining space with potassium chlorate/sulfur mixture and screw
|
|
the remaining end cap on.
|
|
|
|
Note: Maintain a loose mixture between the ball bearings and explosive by not
|
|
over-tamping the explosive into the pipe. This will allow the ball bearings to
|
|
move and impact together.
|
|
|
|
D) GENTLY tumble the pipe between the hands to mix the ball bearings with the
|
|
explosive.
|
|
|
|
E) When ready to use, throw against or near the target area.
