How to Make M-80's:
|
|
This file deals with how to make M-80's or similar type small
|
|
explosive 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 KClO , Aluminium & Sulfur. You can take apart
|
|
firecrackers...or, you can make it out of the above ingredients. 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 following 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 « to 3/4" You can find tubing
|
|
anywhere. I have found a gold mine where I work, I just grab the
|
|
Cardboard tubes register 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 «" long and has a diameter of «".
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
Elmer's 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 ¬" 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 capability. Use the above well, and
|
|
try not to hurt yourself (or anyone else.) Unless you hate them that
|
|
is...
