- Plastic Cherry Bombs- A Theoretical Method of Manufacture
-
- I have heard rumors of special cherry bombs available on the black market that had a plastic red case (as opposed to the rock-hard case in
- traditional cherry bombs). This sounds like a desirable safety measure, because it eliminates the dangerous shrapnel of a traditional case. This was
- not the only difference, however. Reports of their strength show that the explosive couldn't possible be the same relatively mild flash powder in
- ordinary cherry bombs. I heard once that someone took one and put it in a crevasse in a concrete house foundation and lit it. The bomber claims that
- it blew a 6" hole in the cement.
- The strength of the bomb, which was supposedly no larger than an ordinary cherry bomb leads me to believe that it used a high explosive, such as
- C-3 or C-4. Other high explosives such as mercury fulminate (the only one I have any experience with) couldn't do that much damage. C-4 is almost
- impossible to find now, but it was more common in past days (around the mid-sixties). That could explain why I've never seen or heard of one except
- from pyros who were growing up in the 60s. Though I've never seen or used it, I know a little about how C-4 works, so I have a general idea of how
- the plastic cherry bomb might have been designed. Red plastic cups (like the wooden cherry bomb cups of the past) might be filled with C-4, with
- a blasting cap attached to commercial fuse in the middle and cemented together. The fuse wouldn't be enough to detonate the plastic explosive, so the
- bomb wouldn't detonate until the fuse reached the blasting cap and the cap detonated the explosive.
- It is hardly nessacary to say so, because it isn't likely that anyone reading this phile could get hold of the materials to build it, but I
- strongly suggest that, if you DO happen to have a little C-4 laying around, you don't try this. The design is based entirely on speculation and,
- it is quite possible that I have overlooked some critical aspect of the materials involved that could cause spontanious detonation, poisionous fumes,
- hairy palms, blindness, impotency, etc., etc. If you do try it, I assume no responsibility for whatever happens.
- That just about wraps this one up. Watch for more philes (including a new surveillance series) by,
