-

-
- : NOTE: Some of these are not intended to be totally serious, but
- : they are alternative defenses, and easily made at home.
- :
- : 1) Non-chlorine bleach and amonia. Quick, cheap and probably
- : deviously effective. I am not sure, though, if this stuff is totally safe
- : to make, as I heard somewhere that bleach and amonia mixed could create a
- : poison gas of some sort.
-
- ammonia+chlorine bleach --> ammonium chloride... highly toxic gas. don't

- :
- : 2) Gasoline. Got some in my eyes once, and damn, it hurt!
- : Couldn't think of much of anything except that I wanted to die for a while,
- : there. Don't carry this on *really* hot days, though, as the fumes could
- : be quite strong.
-
- sounds like a bad idea. this stuff is pretty carcinogenic (even before you
- burn it). and it doesn't have a very immediate effect, except on the eyes.
- unless, of course, you have a lighter handy :).
- :
- : 3) Acetone (sp?) and bleach. Or, just plain acetone, if you like.
- : In the eyes it will be quite effective. Again, do not carry it on hot
- : days, as I believe that it has a fairly low flash point.
- :
- fingernail polish remover is mostly acetone. again, not much immediate
- effect, unless you hit the eyes. combusts nicely, though :)
-
- : 4) Concetrated acid. Carry it in a parfume spritzer, and there you
- : go. I know of about a dozen chemical supply places around my area where
- : you can get the stuff if you are willing to be sly about it. (Not intended
- : to be taken seriously)
-
- bad idea... glad it wasn't put forth as serious. :)
- :
- : 5) Napalm. You see those *HUGE* 200 yard range squirt guns? Make
- : some napalm using a quart of dish detergent, a pint of gasoline or
- : kerosene, and a small packet of gelatin (although, the gelatin may clog up
- : the squirt gun). Or, just get a stack of styrofoam cups and pour the
- : gasoline into the top one and allow it to eat/soak its way through to the
- : bottom one. This takes a *long* time, though, and the result is *quite*
- : viscous. Then all you do is carry your squirt gun and a lighter... Flame
- : on. (Not to be taken seriously, for those who may be uncertain)
- :
- i think you should take this to the rec.pyrotechnics group... :)
-
- : Anyway, I would be interested to hear about other home brews,
