ANARCHY 'N' EXPLOSIVES

=====> VOLUME 2 <=====

This volume defines a few varieties of misc explosives, charges, and

whatever I had in mind at that time. Anyway, these formulas are not

as precise in measurements for they were given in brief summary.

However, they will work, and if used correctly can be safe and "fun".

FRENCH AMMONAL:

-------------------

Type: Low Explosive

Ingredients: 86% Ammonium Nitrate

6% Stearic Acid

8% Aluminum Powder

Description: French ammonal is an easily improvised low explosive

mixture. It is generally less effective than an equal

weight of TNT. The material is loaded by pressing it into

a suitable container. Initiation by an Engineer's special

blasting cap is recommended.

Comments: This material was tested. It is effective.

References: TM 31-201-1, Unconventional Warfare Devices and Techniques,

para 1401.

TETRYTOL:

-------------

Type: High Explosive

Ingredients: 75% Tetryl

25% TNT

Description: Tetryol is a high explosive bursting charge. It is used as

a demolition explosive, a bursting charge for mines, and

in artillery shells. The explosive force of tetrytol is

approximately the same as that of TNT. It may be initiated

by a blasting cap. Tetrytol is usually loaded by casting.

Comments: This material was tested. It is effective.

IMPROVISED PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE FILLER:

----------------------------------------

Type: High Explosive

Ingredients: Finely Powdered Potassium Chlorate Cdata bstals

Petroleum Jelly **MIX THOUROUGHLY**

Description: This plastic explosive filler can be detonated with a

No. 8 commercial blasting cap or with any military

blasting cap. The explosive must be stored in a waterproof

container until ready to use.

Comments: This material was tested. It is effective.

References: TM 31-210, Improvised Munitions, sec I, No. 1.

FLAMABILITY OF GASES:

-------------------------

Type: Gas Explosive

Ingredients: Explosive Gas

Description: Under some conditions, common gases act as fuel. When mixed

with air, they will burn rapidly or even explode. For some

fuel-air mixtures, the range over which the explosion can

occur is quite wide while for others the limits are narrow.

The upper and lower amounts of common fuels that will cause

an ignitable mixture are shown in the table below. The

quantity shown is the percentage by volume of air. If the

fuel-air mixture is too lean or too rich, it will not

ignite. The amounts shown are therefore called limits of

inflamability.

Gases (% by volume of air)

Fuel (Gas) Lower Limit Upper Limit

------------------------------- ----------- -----------

Water Gas Or Blue Gas 7.0 72

Natural Gas 4.7 15

Hydrogen 4.0 75

Acetylene 2.5 81

Propane 2.2 10

Butane 1.9 9

Comments: These fuels have been tested under labratory conditions.

They are effective. Ignition depends on method of

initiation, uniformity of mixture, and physical conditions.
