Warning! bottle bombs

[ITGuy11]

Same here, we used to make these things like 25 years ago, until my buddy went to jail for throwing one in the bed of a pickup truck...

Blows up mailboxes pretty good as well (felony in its own).

Powdered Non-Dairy coffee creamer. By itself it wont light, but when dispersed as dust it will make a fireball like no other. I may know of a 30 foot high fireball happening at a greyhound racetrack 25 years ago or I might not................................

Wow, when you were 10, you had a shotgun ..

No, but my dad did.

And even at 10 we knew not to shoot each other or anything dad didn't want shot.

We used bb guns to shoot each other.

When i was 10 we'd fill a gallon jug with gas , set it on a news paper ,light the newspaper on fire ,then shoot it wi a shotgun. Nice 30 ft fireball.

We did that, but we'd pour out a little gas trail, then roll the gas can down the hill in the road by my driveway, then light it, then shoot it.

Looked like the napalm bombs we saw on tv back then.

I'm a firefighter in a large east coast city, and everytime the news runs a story about these, we get 5 or 6 calls in the next few days for a "bomb" on someones property..... They all end up as litter... (I guess all the real ones blew up before we got there) Anyway.. Like good public safety officials we went right back to the fire house and made a few...

We used to fill black trash bags with oxy+acetylene from the torch (not full, just a couple cubic feet maybe), put a lamp cord in with a stripped end and twist the copper ends together (just a few strands) and tape it shut, stick it in a corner of the shop, then we'd plug it into a switched outlet in the shop, and wait for one of the guys to come in and flip the lightswitch, BLAM! guys would get scared out of their socks...

This makes one hell of a bang when you get the mixture right...

Awe yes the memories of dry ice bombs. Grew out of that stage, now we make mickey bombs. When we head to the desert to ride and shoot, we'll make mickey bombs at night in the camp fire. Not sure I can say on here how to make one, but it involves a 40oz mickey bottle and some gas. It doesn’t go off right away, as it takes about 1-3 minutes to go off, but looks something like a 50 foot mushroom fire ball in the night sky.

Go ahead... it'll be our secret.

I have one question was it the bomb technician that made it so big or the bomb it self. If so that why bigger than and dry ice bomb I've seen.

Seriously? I read these two "sentences" 3-4 times and have absolutely no clue what the f*ck you're trying to write, or who it's directed towards.

40 years ago we built a aceytlene cannon in shop class with 4'' pipe [iron] and toilet paper. Very loud with a lot of concussion.
