guncotton isnt a fuse really, it can be used in place of gunpowder cuz it is more stable and resistant to shock, but has a higher explosive output.....i dont think its really a whick, but i suppose it could be used as one....

i suppose it might be...i believe it's initial purpose was to replace gunpowder in bullets, altho this didnt catch on because it is too impact resistant to be useful....

it is used in bullets.....Yes it can be used as a low explosive or detonated with a blasting cap and used a powerful highexplosive

durr...i completely forgot about blasting caps....damn me and my forgetfulness....i knew it was attempted in guns cuz it is safer, i just forgot that they used blasting caps to set it off in guns that use it...so i assumed it was unused....damn me and my neglectful memory...ima read the page i have on it again....its got a detailed history of most bombs...but no synths..its for entertainment purposes...

i mix grade ffff gun powder with water and rub it into woven shoelaces. it works great as a fast burning fuse. good for molotov cocktails.

y would you use it in a molotov? isnt the point of those to just light the rag on top, thus making a fuse pointless?

back to the real topic...do non gunpowder fuses work for making shit explode? like if i were to take a line of napalm and light one end of it would it work? and for the traditional method, would like fireworks powder work for a fuse? i mean could i put a bunch of powder from those shitty fountains into a dixie cup, put a shoelace and water in it, drain the water and let it evaporate the rest, would that work? sorry if that wasnt clear.
