- Nail Grenade by the Jolly Roger
-
- Effective fragmentation grenades can be made from a block of tnt or
- other blasting explosive and nails.
-
- Material Required:
- -----------------
-
- Block of TNT or other blasting explosive
- Nails
- Non-electric (military or improvised) blasting cap
- Fuse Cord
- Tape, string, wire, or glue
-
- Procedure:
- ---------
-
- 1) If an explosive charge other than a standard TNT block is used, make a
- hole in the center of the charge for inserting the blasting cap. TNT can
- be drilled with relative safety. With plastic explosives, a hole can be
- made by pressing a round stick into the center of the charge. The hole
- should be deep enough that the blasting cap is totally within the
- explosive.
- 2) Tape, tie, or glue one or two rows of closely packed nails to the
- sides of the explosive block. Nails should completely cover the four
- surfaces of the block.
- 3) Place blasting cap on one end of the fuse cord and crimp with pliers.
-
- NOTE: To find out how long the fuse cord should be, check the time it
- takes a known length to burn. If 12 inches (30 cm) burns for 30 seconds,
- a 10 second delay will require a 4 inch (10 cm) fuse.
-
- 4) Insert the blasting cap in the hole in the block of explosive. Tape or
- tie fuse cord securly in place so that it will not fall out when the
- grenade is thrown.
-
- Alternate Use:
- -------------
-
- An effective directional anti-personnel mine can be made by placing nails
- on only one side of the explosive block. For thi case, and electric
- blasting cap can be used.
