What is your most favourite explosive ?

submitted by forscher from self.AskSaidIt

Full disclosure: Mine still are mostly ANFO. Not only do they smell fine but the "boom" . I mean like they produce a boom you can feel in every bone. I still like that the most.

If you can explode smthg legally with anfo, i really advise you to cover your balls beforehand. Because the shockwave and the sound you will underestimate.

I do till today and i did a lot of mining. Never forget your eargear!

I don't play with explosives but conceptually I find the neutron bomb very appealing. It wipes out the scum while leaving the buildings and landscape intact. It would be the ideal solution to the problems in San Francisco and New York.

So you'd consider a small enough nano-neutron-bomb landing anywhere near you ok ?

Obviously not. Just because I kill cockroaches doesn't mean that I want to be killed.

So what is a cockroach ? Or better: Who is ?

You have any idea how complex a neutron bomb actually to build is?

You'll need isotopes of elements you couldn't even pronounce even if i told you which they are.

Your question wasn't which explosive is your favorite TO USE. I have no plans to use a neutron bomb, I only find it appealing in theory.

Who are cockroaches? All those who don't prefer good over bad. For example all programmers who use Git instead of Mercurial. I would estimate that about 99% of humanity are cockroaches.

And that's a block.

As Mark Twain said: " Don't talk to dumb people. They'll draw you down and then win ".

I always liked Claymore Mines, Hand Grenades, and M203 HE Grenades.

[–]forscher[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

I like claymores, too. But they are hard to get, where i live.

And the the grenades... Yeah. Doesn't work with almost no money.

So i don't got access to HMX, sry.

The original question was "What is your most favourite explosive ?" so I answered. Now the explosives I know how to manufacture from easily obtained ingredients is something else. It is easy to approximate a claymore and a hand grenade. The M203 round is trickier.

You're right. And also get my grift. So don't feel wronged.

If i could choose this question would in fact get from medium to very hard.

Snap 'n Pops. Produce a pop that scare the piss out of unsuspecting drunkards.

Rocket candy is the only stuff I've had much experience with, not sure I'd fuck with that anymore. We had a spontaneous ignition despite being careful.

I wouldn't mind some ammonia nitrate but only for my plants. It's too much of a hassle to get though, can't just buy it off Amazon.
