- This design is also described in the Terrorists' Handbook, but I have
- some better details about the powder to use in it.
-
- 1. Get a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper or something like that. Fold it into
- 1-1/2" strips.
-
- 2. Fold the 1-1/2" wide paper strip paper-football style, for two folds, until
- you have a little pocket.
-
- 3. Take some rocket powder (I explain below) and some fuse. Put the fuse
- through the whole in the point OPPOSITE the pocket opening. See diagram:

-
- 4. Fold the rest of the "football" up. It should be nice and flush and pretty
- looking.
-
- 5. Get some black electrical tape and wrap the whole thing tight, as
- the powder will spill out the corners if you don't do this step. Also,
- the more wraps of tape, the thicker the "plastic" shell of the tape,
- and the bigger the bang.f

- Lucky Hack HPA readers! You're getting two files for the download time of
- one! Here's how to make rocket powder (which is essentially flashpowder):
-
- Go to a hobby shop and buy (or lift) several packages of model rocket engines
- made by ESTES. Or get a HUGE box of them. Expensive, but worth it. Also try
- to get at least one pack of D or E engines. These are BIG and make MUCH
- powder. BTW-- they are perfectly legal to buy no matter what age you are.
-
- Use an Exacto knife to cut a slit down the paper tubing, and unroll the
- engines. They look like black cylinders. Get a big piece of cardboard (like
- poster board) and put the cylinders on this. Smash them into smaller pieces
- with a hammer. Once they are in small pieces, you can use a mortar & pistle
- if you like torturing yourself, or I just keep using the hammer. Just keep
- pounding it until it is a FINE powder. This stuff has MANY, MANY uses.

- These polumnas (Spanish for Dove or something) are very nice. They are
- powerful, cheap, easy to make, and you can toss 'em pretty far. Be kinda
- careful with them, though, as they can report like a .38 and I've had people
- call the cops about it. One time I ran into two squad cars and an ambulance:
- a SHOTS FIRED call...wow. That was neat. Luckily, they didn't catch me. They
- got a clothing descrip, but what are they gonna do? Put out an APB on a teen
- wearing black at night? I don't think so. So be careful, and these are
- dangerous, but they are pretty stable. I think they would take a finger off
- though, so respect them...
