Flashpowder?

[Chode_Warrior]

You should always attempt to maintain the highest amount of safety when handling chemicals and storing them. Especially when dealing with explosives. Ignorance to the subject of chemicals and their effects leads to health and safety hazards. So, if you don't know what you are doing before you do it, you really shouldn't do it.

Thanks for reminding me that explosives are dangerous

I've been trying to find an easy way to obtain flash powder. Lady Fingers and Black Cats, When i take them apart i seperate the clay part and then dump the silverish/greyish powder on a sheet of paper and keep it seperate then i redo the process, i havent used it yet but, i've just kept it in a ziplock bag for later. Is the powder flash powder? or no? If not can you guys tell me what it is and if its useable for M-80's other explosive devices etc.

go to walmart find the sporting goods section and look for pyrodex its for black powder rifels its pretty much the same thing

What ive found for a quick alternative source for flash powder is from artilery shells. They include decent amount of flash per shell and its a pretty decent quality as well...(Also, the grain size for the flash powder included in the shells is much more course than that of black cats, less messy too..)

"also the grain size for the flash powder included in the shells is much more course than that of black cats"

that is not a good thing when it comes to explosives. as with almost (or all) chemical reactions, the more surface area to the chemicals/compounds the faster the reaction. therefore you would want finer flash. the only good part about using coarse flash is that you obviously havent ground it, which, if you're dumb (i hear) can be dangerous. so basically if you're not dumb there is no good that comes out of coarse flash. but ghost will find an exception like he always does haha

Coarse flash is good for bright, bursting charges in stars, but even then it's not particularly good.

And if this poor fuck honestly thinks that a) he can get artillery shells to crack open, and b) that they contain flash powder, then somebody needs to beat the shit out of him with the clue bat.

HAHAHAHAHA.

do you like stay up all night thinking of beastly phrases? or is it just an inherited ability of ghosts?

What is the shit in model rocket engines? I just bought a few of them for my RPG project, but if something goes wrong i might use them for explosives (if i can).

Corned and pucked black powder with a rammed clay plug.
