How does this actully kill the fish? Were there ball bearings in it or something?[/quote]
Because of the change in pressure [/quote]
From what I know its that when the impact wave of pressure hits them it bursts an air sack inside the fish.
Its still a cool way to fish
I thought about posting something cool, but thought better of it. I am already a felon, so I don’t need the Department of Homeland Security putting me on some list of “possible terror suspects” or raiding my house and arresting me for “aiding and abetting terrorist activities” or some shit.
To all of you Canadians shaking your heads, our country really IS that stupid…
I had alot to contribute to this topic, but I thought it read “Bongs for homemade fun”.
When I was in HS, my buddys and I used to go out to one friend’s cattle ranch and shoot ground squirrels. They had a real infestation, so the ranchers were always happy to have us thin them out a bit. Eventually, we decided to try a new method out. My friend made some little bombs by filling old CO2 cartridges with black powder, and using a model rocket igniter to fire them off. We would put them in front of the squirrel burrows like little anti-personnel claymore mines, and trail the ignition wires to where we were hiding behind his truck. Squirrel would poke its head out, and BOOM!!! No more squirrel.
One that nobody has mentioned yet is taking aluminium foil and stuffing it into a soda bottle, then pouring The Works toilet bowl cleaner into it. Seal it up, shake real hard, and run like hell, b/c it is super loud. Fun to fish with, as well. I know, redneck fishing.

Best one I over made was with a one liter beaker from chemistry lab. I used one of those 3 hole stoppers with the stem in one, but split 3 times in the base of the beaker. The toke hole was stemmed down to the bottom too, and the mouth piece from the 3rd. The splits really helped to diffuse and cool the smoke.
Then I’d fill it with cold water and crushed ice and go bonkers with the dank skunk bud while watching Ren and Stimpy.
Hah familiar with the same method as HG
Then my friend got a felony from it, so no more
I’m not against explosives, I am against losing limbs. Safe explosives ftw lol
Here are the kings of safety and blowing shit up in the name of curiosity
Edit …
I think we would all agree that saftey is the key when dealing with stuff that can blow your limps off or loss of life.
Nothing better then propane and miniguns

Yup…we did the CO2 cartridges and filled them with ground up rocket engines…would put a BIG fuse on them…light it up on the power lines near where we lived and then run like fuck…15 minutes later…BOOOOM!

Well actually I did mention it, but thats ok.

We can’t talk about bombs without talking about the biggest of them all.
All the bombs to go off in the second world war X 10 all at once.
Now that is something to inspire fear and awe.
I don’t know how big or nasty they get beyond this bomb. But I would not want to see one go off. This one was bad enough.

My Uncle Jimmy used to be a systems analyst at the Pentagon before he retired from the Air Force. He was visiting us back in '86 and I was asking him questions about nuclear weapons. He told me they had a missile that could carry ten warheads, each between 150-200 megatons. The Tsar bomb was 58 megatons, I believe, with a 3.5-mile fireball. For a brief moment that fireball reached 17-million degrees fahrenheit. It’s difficult to comprehend the destructive force of weapons so powerful that nobody dares to test them.
I have made lots of diferent bombs and pyrotechnic devices, from liquid, gas and solid. Manual fuses, heat detonation, electrical fuses, etc.
Still have the scar where one of them went off prematurely, leaving a sickle-shaped sliver of aluminium curling out of my chest 
I also bear the damage to my right ear drum and consequent hearing loss that stopped my entry to the fire service.
My father and his friends made a bomb in a quarry that went off unexpectedly and killed one of them. Not so fun. He feels remorse to this day, I believe.

you’re thinking of the peace keeper ICBM. its more like 150-200 kilo tons per warhead. soviet weapons, had much higher yields. then American built bombs of warheads.
Pipe bombs were always fun to make, we started making them after a neighbor wanted $4 each for block busters one 4th of July. One kid came up with a container of black powder, my dad’s garage was the lab. Someone came up with DIY det cord, this guy had a considerable library of special forces handbooks, books on booby traps and of course The Anarchist’s Cookbook.
Molotov cocktails were easy to make and everyone also loved acetylene bombs. Ahhh, the good old days. Lots of us are fortunate enough to have never had one go off unexpectedly.

Don’t they know it’s “pics or it doesn’t work”?
Had a copy of The Terrorists Handbook back in HS, a friend printed it off the early version of the internet(the old bulletin boards where you had to dial the number into your modem - shut up, that doesn’t make me THAT old).
Anyway, never tried any of the explosives, since I didn’t have access to the stuff. Besides, we always figured that book followed the ‘MacGyver’ pattern - give just enough of the ingredients to make it realistic, but leave a couple steps or ingredients out so it either won’t work, or it doesn’t work the way the book says.
Only thing I did try(a couple different times) was the smoke bomb recipe. IIRC, it was equal parts sugar and epsom salt, mixed together then slowly cooked until it melted. Thing was, we could never get it to ignite. I even tried doing it again years later, trying sparklers as an ignition train, but it still didn’t work.
