- WARNING: Don't try this at home. If you're stupid enough to try any of this
- shit, we're not responsible. We aren't gonna pay your hospital bills because
- you blew off your thumb. We'll just laugh at you. WE AREN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR
- ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY USE OF ANY OF THE MATERIAL PRESENTED IN THIS FILE.
-
- WD bomb:
- Of all the cheap homemade bombs available, the WD bomb is one of the coolest.
- If you're lucky, you can even get a nice mushroom cloud with this bomb.
- Ingedients:
- 1 FULL can of WD-40 (or any compressed flammable substance)
- 1 tube of rubber cement
- 1 lighter (or match)
- 1 bb gun (can be reused)
- 1 bb (can be reused if you're stupid enough to spend the time to find it)
- Directions:
- Put the WD can down on the ground. Cover it with the rubber cement. Or, if
- you're too cheap to use rubber cement, start a fire on and around it (a Chud
- variant is good for this.) Then, light the rubber cement. If you got the
- good kind of cement, it should burn well. Now, get the hell away and shoot
- it with the bb gun. See, we told you it ruled.
-
- Chud:
- Chud is a simple long burning high heat small flame material. It can be
- used to replace rubber cement in the WD bomb. Chud is the gas mixture,
- however, several different mixtures exist and are specifically named. By
- the way, this shit is hard to put out. I should know, I once kicked a
- mixture of this under someone's shed.
- Ingredients:
- 2/3 flour
- 1/3 flammable liquid
- Directions:
- Put the flour and flammable liquid in a cup. Stir until the mixture has a
- dogh-like texture. You may need to adjust the ratios of the flour and the
- flammable liquid.
- Flammable Liquids:
- As stated above, Chud has several variants. The gas mixture (plain Chud) is
- recommended because of its high flammability and low cost. However, in
- certain cases Chud may not be the best mixture. Here is a list of
- substitutions for the gas:
- Gas - Chud
- Oil - Chug
- Anti-freeze - Chuff
- Anything else - Chuz
-
- Works Bomb:
- Most everyone has heard of the Works (or hydrochloric acid) bomb. Well, we
- figured we'd reprint it for the sake of those who don't know about it. The
- Works bomb is just a simple pressure bomb. You put two materials that
- react with each other (in this case, hydrochloric acid and tin foil) in a
- container (in this case, a two liter bottle) and the pressure builds up
- until the container makes a really big 'BOOOOOM.' Someone I knew did this
- in a forest right next to a little league baseball team while they were
- practicing. The bomb exploded and sounded so loud that the coach (from over
- 100 yards away) thought it was a gun shot and had the little league players
- lay on the ground for 10 minutes. Pretty realistic, huh? Well, the problem
- is that you don't tell the bomb when to go off. The bomb goes off when it
- damned well pleases (well actually when there's so much pressure in the
- container.) So, you may have to do it a few times and try to get the same
- amounts of tin foil and Works in the bottle to get an estmate of the time
- it takes (usually greater than 5 minutes.)
- Ingredients:
- 1 plastic two liter bottle (gets blown to shreds)
- some amount of hydrochloric acid (Works toilet bowl cleaner)
- some amount of tin foil
- Directions:
- Put the tin foil in the bottle. Then, pour the Works into the two liter and
- get the cap on as quickly as possible. Don't be afraid, you have a little
- while to run. As I said above, you will have to play around with the
- amounts of tin foil and Works you use. Generally, don't fill the bottle
- over 1/3 with the combination of both. Don't stand within 15 feet when it
- goes off. I heard of someone blowing off thier hand by holding one of
- these (there are some real dumbasses, aren't there?)
-
- Liquid Nitrogen Bomb:
- The Liquid Nitrogen bomb is simply a varient of the Works bomb. For those
- that don't know, liquid nitrogen is that really cold shit (like 74 degrees
- Kelvin.) You can get it at most Chemistry labs. The bomb explodes because
- as the Liquid Nitrogen warms up, it gets bigger until there's enough
- pressure to blow up the bottle. The Liquid Nitrogen bomb is probably the
- coolest pressure bomb easily available.
- Ingredients:
- 1 plastic two liter bottle
- a little less than 2 liters of liquid nitrogen
- Directions:
- Put the liquid nitrogen in the bottle. Close the top real tight. Run like
- hell. It should take about 5-15 minutes for the bomb to go off.
-
- Dry Ice Bomb:
- The Dry Ice bomb is yet another variation of the Works bomb.
- Ingredients:
- 1 plastic two liter bottle
- some dry ice
- some water
- Directions:
- Put the dry ice and water into the bottle. Close the top really tight.
- Run like hell. It should take a little while for the bomb to go off.
-
- Molotov Cocktail:
- The Molotov Cocktail is a long range gasoline delivery system. It also
- makes a very nice fire where ever it hits. By the way, the people who
- wrote the CyberPunk 2020 RPG game thought Molotovs were so cool, the
- combat rules for using them are listed on page 111 in the CyberPunk 2020
- rule book.
- Ingredients:
- 1 glass bottle (MUST be glass)
- 1 rag (a tampon is better if you can get one)
- 1 lighter (or match)
- some duck tape (the good kind)
- some gas (enough to fill the bottle)
- Directions:
- Fill the glass bottle with the gasoline. Then, soak the rag (or tampon) in
- gasoline. Fit the rag into the opening in the bottle. Tape the rag there
- with the duck tape (that's why you need good duck tape.) After you have
- assembled the cocktail, light the rag (or tampon), throw it, and run the
- hell away. See, we told you it ruled.
