    I taught myself how to make gunpowder in Jr high. Mixing the 3 ingredients in different ratios I could make one hell of a coke can bomb or a smoke bomb. I used cigarettes as my timed fuses.

    Hard to do now that potassium nitrate is a little harder to get.. Can be bought off fleabay but its a little on tbe high side.

    Im not an exception to the rule, I am an example of it!

    Did you use saltpeter?
    Saltpetre, aka Potassium nitrate, aka KNO3 can be found in a lot of lawn and garden centers. Green Light's stump remover is 99%+ that stuff, and it can be found pretty easily. Stump Remover | Green Light home garden and lawn care products (They will email you the MSDS if you contact them).

    If you are interested, THR has a good blackpowder section and they have a number of links that deal with making it. The folks that are really into that section of our sport will provide you with some great information over there. Making blackpowder. - THR

    It's really not that hard, or dangerous if you take it seriously.

    The guys in the surveillance van in front of my neighbors house said that they can't get too much closer to you than that camera in your showerhead, mirror, television sets, graduation diploma frame and your porn drawer.
    They also said to remind you that you're almost out of "hand" lotion and they know how you hate that.
