[quote="Art Attack":4eafa]That cook book is amazing, I had a link but lost it with the cookbook and I know! the terrorits handbook online.[/quote:4eafa]

A lot of the "recipes" in the Anarchist cook book are wrong!!! Expecially some of the bomb and drug related recipes. I strongly recommend againts trying them. In fact in the when I was in High School there were always rumors going around that the Anarchist cook book was changed by the FBI intentionally to make the recipes not work (rumor or fact? I don't know)

I have seen those potato gun explode under the pressure of a jammed potato, make sure whatever the barrel is that you are using is stong ( at least 1/2 inch PVC pipe is good) and DO NOT use ether or Carborator cleaner for a propellent!!!!

We have a good explosion in lab just about everymonth.
My friend who works on the bench behind me had a really bad one. Acetone and Chromium Trioxide. Some how Acetone was reduced and Chromium was oxided. It resulted in a very large Acetone fire spewing out Chromium Vapor (not good). The point of this storry is that something he thought was relatively safe (oxided metal) turned out to be quite harmful.
Thank fully this was done in a chemical hood, so no one was hurt, but the power of chemistry can be lethal.

Becareful!!
