MacGyver's Anarchy Vol. 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By MacGyver, 1-26-91 III. Black Powder `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Black powder also known as gunpowder, is an important low power explosive. Here r11 safe methods of preparing gunpowder. 1) potassium perchlorate 69.2 sulfur 15.4 charcoal 15.4 2) potassium chlorate 75 MacGyver made this stuff once. sulfur 12 charcoal 12 3) sodium peroxide 67 sodium thiosulphate 33 4) potassium nitrate 70.4 sulfur 19.4 sodium sulfate 10.2 **5) potassium nitrate 79-75-75 sulfur 3 -15-11 straw charcoal 18-10-14 6) potassium nitrate 50 ammonium perchlorate 25 sulfur 12.5 powdered willow charcoal12.5 7) barium nitrate 75 sulfur 12.5 charcoal 12.5 8) potassium nitrate 64 sulfur 12 lamp black 7 sawdust 17 9) potassium nitrate 70 sulfur 23 antimony sulfate 7 ** The most common formula of gunpowder because the materials are widely availiable to everyone. Youan use fertilizer grade potassium nitrate, (also known as salt peter, or niter) some BBQ charcoal adsome sulfur powder, all ground up separately. Three different percentages are given in #5 Black powder is one of the safest explosives, but it is very sensitive to sparks. These formulas areot for use in firearms. These formulas are more powerful than the ordinary powders used for firearm. Gunpowder has many uses. You can put some in a tennis ball bomb for a greater effect, or in a small tal container. Just remember to pack the powder tightly and you have a simple bomb. Ignite with strn fuse (Vol.1 I) or magnesium wire. IV. Smoke Screens ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There are so many smoke screen formulas out there. Here are a few I have collected from various bbok Text files, advice from people and personal experimentation. BLACK SMOKE SCREENS 1) magnesium powder 19 hexachloroethane 60 naphthalene 21 2) black powder(Vol.2 III) 50 potassium nitrate 10 coal tar 20 charcoal 15 paraffin 5 3) hexachloroethane 55.8 alpha naphol 14 athracene 4.6 aluminum powder 9.3 smokeless powder 14 naphthalene 2.3 WHITE SMOKE SCREENS 1) potassium chlorate 44 MacGyver made some of this once, but instead of zinc dust he used chaoal. sulfur 15 zinc dust 40 sodium bicarbonate 1 (baking soda) 2) zinc dust 28 zinc oxide 22 heachloroethane 50 3) zinc dust 66.67 hexachloroethane 33.33 GREEN SMOKE SCREENS 1) potassium nitrate 20 red arsenic 20 sulfur 20 antimony sulfide 20 black powder 20 RED SMOKE SCREEN 1) potassium chlorate 26 diethylaminorosindome 48 powdered sugar 26 2) potassium chlorate 20 lactose 20 paranitraniline red 60 3) potassium perchlorate 25 antimony sulfide 20 dextrin 5 rhodamine red 50 4) potassium chlorate 27.4 methylaminoanthraquinone-42.5 sodium bicarbonate 19.5 sulfur 10.6 YELLOW SMOKE SCREENS 1) potassium chlorate 25 paranitraniline 50 lactrose 25 2) potassium chlorate 30 naphthalene azodimethyl aniline-50 powdered sugar 20 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notice: I am not responsible for any injury or death caused by people using my information. I am alsnot responsible for damages. These are dangerous explosives and should be handled by those who are nwledgable in chemistry or pyrotechnics. Use small amouts when testing and use protective gear. I didn't put the ingredients and procedure for Astrolite G in this issue because I must double checwith someothers before giving you the secret. Besides it's the worlds most powerful nonnuclear explsve and I don't want to make any stupid mistakes. Next issue in Vol.III Plastic Explosives, smokeless powder, and flash powder.
