         Introduction:

                   Touched off by the discussion on Ripco <312>-528-5020, I
 found many users asking questions about police radar, radar detectors, and
 speeding.  With Ron Majors talking about the oil spill that will appear in
 detail on the news at ten I thought a informative file on the subject might
 be beneficial.  I myself had my first experience with police radar in my
 fathers car, then following in baseball and my own driving, much more on the
 subject.  What a fascinating device, that it will return your speed instantly,
 what fun one would be to have!  After a quick talk with a police friend of
 mine, I soon took possession of a used police radar gun.

         Part one: Operation.

                   Police Radar works via the doppler effect, best
 demonstrated by sound rather than microwaves.  The doppler effect is the 
 relation of speed to the pitch of 'sound'.  Sometime, all of you must have
 had the distinct pleasure of being honked at by a motorist on the go, 
 you might have noticed that the horn <an F flat on most american cars> 
 begins with a higher pitch and as the car passes, drowns off to a lower
 tone.  The sound waves at the front of the car are pressed together by the 
 forward motion of the car, creating a higher pitch.  As the car passes,
 the tone dies off to a lower pitch because the waves are spread out.
 Police radar works in much the same way.  The major differences are the
 frequency and the concentration of the carrier.
                   As of 1988, the F.C.C. is rumored to have lifted restrictions
 on police radar frequencies.  Before, only two frequencies were approved for 
 police radar use.  X-band <10.525 GHz> which is most commonly used, and 
 K-band <24.15 Ghz>.  I will assume for now, due to lack of any SOLID evidence
 supporting the restriction lift, that those are the only two in operation.
 Police radar 'beams' are similar in shape to a flashlight beam.  They begin
 with a thin width and cone outwards with distance. Most guns operating at 
 the X-band level have a range of about 2000 ft., although high power units
 can exceed 2500 and 3000ft., and K-band guns fall shorter at about 1200 ft..
 At 1500ft., the radar beam becomes about the width of four highway lanes, so
 for practical purposes radars range is around 1700 ft..  A radar signal
 transmitted from the 'Radar Gun's' transmitter, (called the oscillator) will
 bounce off a object and return to the radar receiver (or antenna).  If the
 object is moving, the frequency of the beam will be altered as it bounces.
 This is most easily visualized watching water ripples.  Assume now that I
 have just dropped a pebble in a pond, and the ripples are moving outward,
 assume also for purposes of simplicity that the ripples are moving at
 1 foot per second, and that they are one foot apart.  The ripples are 
 therefore also one second apart.  Upon bouncing off a stationary object
 the ripples will return weakened, but at the same interval and speed 
 <Not really the same speed, but let's not complicate things>.  Now let
 us assume that a toy boat is traveling in the water at .5 ft. per second,
 1/2 the speed of the ripples, away from the point which I dropped the 
 pebble.  Assume the first ripple has hit the boat and is traveling back.
 The second ripple now traveling at 1 foot per second is only gaining on the
 boat by .5 feet per second <1 ft. per second - .5 ft. per second>.  This means
 that the ripple is one foot away from the boat, as the ripples are one foot
 apart.  The ripple will take 2 second to reach the boat, as the closure speed
 is .5 ft. per second and the distance is 1 foot.  The ripple strikes the boat
 and bounces back two seconds after the first ripple.  The process works 
 inversely for an object moving towards the pebbles point of impact.  
 As the distance between the ripples can be determined by the speed, on the
 other side, the speed can be determined by the distance between the ripples.
 Police radar works in the same way with microwaves.  The microwave signal
 bounces off a moving vehicle and returns altered in frequency.  In this way
 the radar unit determines the speed of the object.  Radar is only accurate
 when the object is moving directly at, or directly away from the gun,
 although some modern guns will account for this 'COSINE error', most won't.
 Cosine error can be defined as this:  When a radar signal bounces off an
 object at an angle from the objects direction of travel it will return a
 portion of the objects speed computed by the cosine of the infraction
 angle.  If the angle of the objects direction and the radars direction is
 20 degrees the speed returned by the radar is 93.97% of the objects
 actual speed.  cos (20) = .93969262 * objects speed = returned speed.
 For example:  A car is traveling at 75 m.p.h..  The state trooper, in his
 infinite wisdom, decides to "Clock" the automobile in hopes of meeting his
 quota for the month. Picking up his handy radar gun, he aims, and fires
 an invisible beam of microwave energy.  The officer however, being the rookie
 he is, leaves a high angle between the cars direction and his beam of 45
 degrees.  Cos (45) = .707106781  .707106781 * 75m.p.h. = 53.03300859 
 53 m.p.h. is displayed on the officers screen.  Lucky motorist.
 Sorry 40 column users.

         Part 2: Application

                   In 1986, over 15 million speeding tickets were issued,
and experts estimate that over 25% of them were in error.  Police have
been using radar for speed control for many years, and as the technology
has become more complex and accurate, so has the ability to get away with
the slight infractions of the speed limits set by the government become more
difficult.  In recent years, the three most damaging advances to motorists
in radar technology include:  A> Instant on radar.  B> K-band radar. and
C> Cosine error correcting radar units.


                   Instant on radar.
                             With the increase of radar receivers, or
"Detectors" on the roads, police have attempted to bypass the motorists
first line of defense.  The most damaging advance in the war against speeding
motorists is instant on radar.  The idea behind instant on radar is to make
the radar detector useless to the motorist by making his warning too late to
react to.  Instant on radar was developed in early 1983, but never marketed 
until late 1984 when the michigan state troopers were equipped with the first
instant on radar guns.  It operates by deactivating the oscillator until 
triggered by the officer.  When used properly and under the right traffic
conditions, it is indefensible.  It works like a camera, the officer
operating the radar will position himself behind a blind corner or over a
hill.  When the approaching car crests the hill or rounds the corner, the
officer will activate the oscillator, taking a "snapshot" of your car.
As microwaves travel at the speed of light, any attempt at slowing down
is futile, the officer behind the gun has your speed in less than a tenth
of a second.

                   K-band Radar.
                             When radar detectors were first marketed by
the markers of ESCORT, there was only one type of radar.  X-band.
In an attempt to increase the dwindling speeding ticket revenue, K-band 
was brought to life.  K-band is a different frequency that could not be
picked up by the primitive detectors of the age.  However, as the 
frequency got out, the detectors adapted, and now any detector worth a dollar
will detect both X and K bands.  K band is more dangerous as most K-band
guns are instant on and they have less 'Splash' and range than X-band guns.
This means that a K-band signal is probably closer to you.

                   Cosine error correcting guns.

                             Cosine error was a major falling of radar
in the judicial system, all readings were under question in court, the
result was a gun which will correct for cosine error by determining the
angle which the radar beam "impacts" with the car.  Also new in correcting cosine error were guns with 'Speed lock on' in which the highest speed reading
received by the gun is locked in and displayed.


                    Moving radar guns.
                             
                             Until new developments, all radar units
had to remain stationary as radar measures only closure speed, and not actual
speed.  Moving radar ended this trend.  Moving radar works like this.  First the radar gun determines the patrol cars speed by clocking a sign or fixed
object.  The closing speed of the patrol car to the sign is subtracted from
the now taken closing speed to the target car.
                             Patrols speed - 60 m.p.h.
                             Closing speed to car - 120 m.p.h.
                             120 m.p.h. - 60 m.p.h. = 60 m.p.h..


         Part 3: Defense
                   From the dawn of speed enforcement, motorists have sought
to defeat the laws, starting with detectors, continuing to jammers and
topping out with the new 'CHiPs detectors'  The unfortunate conditions
now favor the police and law enforcement officials with the introduction
of new radar technologies such as instant on radar.

                  Detectors:

                          The simple radar receiver is the first line of
defense from radar.  Varied in operation and features, the radar detectors
of today are designed to provide high sensitivity and low rates of false
alarms.  Good detectors will measure signal strength and type <K or X>
and have an effective range of about 3000 ft. and a probable range of well
over a mile.  Sensitivity tops out around 110.5 dBm/cm^2 for X band and
108 dBm/cm^2 for K band <Both set by the passport>.  A detector can give
you an excellent advantage over radar by alerting you it's there.  Detectors
become especially useful in chicago where instant on radar is not typically
used.
                   Jammers:
                             Radar jammers are essentially units that
transmit microwaves at a frequency dictating a certain speed.  The result is
regardless of your speed, the police radar unit will display the speed you
set the jammer to transmit.  Jammers are highly illegal and will be
confiscated if discovered, expect a stiff fine.
                   
                   Chip's detector.

                             This is a new device, which is really a scanner
on the police radio band.  It takes advantage of a signal transmitted by the
patrol cars in some states as part of their dispatch system.  The signal 
carries for about three miles, and the Chip's Detector will alert you if you
are within that range of a highway patrol unit.  It also allows scanning
of police radio channels.

         Last words.

                   Radar is a basically accurate instrument, when used
properly, it can be deadly.  As I have said before instant on radar is
impossible to avoid when there is no other traffic around, regardless of
a detector.  The only thing that comes close is a Radar Jammer, which 
will most likely not serve you well unless it is WELL hidden.  Radar
jammers are dangerous with the introduction of the HAWK, a radar unit by
Kustom Signals, which DETECTS radar jammers in the hold mode.
                   Aside from radar, VASCAR
                  <Visual average speed computer and recorder>
                   is a new danger to motorists.  It is basically a stopwatch
used to time your movement between two point of which the interval distance
is known.  Using the formula    Average velocity = distance / time, the state
trooper can determine your speed without setting off your detector.
                   Instant on radar defense.

                             The only real defense for instant on radar
is traffic.  Traffic will cause the trooper to activate his radar gun more
often, cluing you into his presence.   A jammer well hidden will help,
but the best technique is to follow a car making good time.  Any police
units in the area will clock him first, and legally they have to ticket him,
unless you're too close.


Remember: 
    Do not speed, it is a dangerous practice, and I can not be responsible
    for any injury, or action due to this file, it is for informational
    purposes only.  The state troopers enforce speed limits for your
    safety.

                   Radar guns: Models.

                             Radar guns are manufactured by many different
companies, but the primary ones are Kustom Signals, M.p.h. Industries, and Decatur.
                             The deadliest gun now available is the HAWK
manufactured by Kustom Signals.  It is the first gun capable of clocking
cars moving the SAME direction as the patrol car.  It has two antennas, one 
forward, and one back.  Like I stated before, it is also the first gun capable
of detecting radar jammers.  These run about 2000$

                             Kr-11
                             This gun is a two piece model which uses
a weak pulse signal in the moving mode to determine the patrol car's speed 
while not triggering detectors.  This gun permits a faster clocking time for 
instant on moving radar, it runs about $1200

                             Falcon
                             This is a hand held gun operating on K band
Small and compact it is preferred among law enforcement radars. It runs about
600$

                             Hr-4 Hr-8 Hr-12
                             400,500,750$ respectively, these are hand
held radar guns made by Kustom Signals

                             All these units are available to you via me
for less than the troopers pay for them.  For prices, and statistics, 
call my board at (312) - 787 - 2174 or send me mail at Ripco (312) 528-5020

                             Prices for radar units range from 250-2000$
                             I personally enjoy harassing that 911
                             who barrels by at 95 with a detector.

     Ok, so ya say ya wanna learn how to pick combination locks...This text 
file should help you. As a matter of fact, if ya do it right, it will help 
you.  First of all, let me tell you about the set-up of a lock.  When the lock
is locked, there is a curved piece of metal wedged inside the little notch 
on the horseshoe shaped bar that is pushed in to the lock when you lock it.
To free this wedge, you must(must is a word used to much) you usually(that 
sounds much better) have to turn the lock to the desired combination and the
pressure on the wedge is released therefore letting the lock open.  I will now
tell you how to make a pick so you can open a lock without having to waste
all that time turning the combination (this also helps when ya don't know the 
combination to begin with).  First of all, ya need to find a hairpin. What's a 
hairpin?  Well, just ask your mom.  She will have one.  If she asks what its 
for, say ya gotta hold something together...  If she says use a rubberband or
use a paperclip, tell her to fuck off and die and then go to the store and rip
off a box of 50 or so.  Ok, enough stalling (yea, i was stalling).  Once you
have your hair pin (make sure its metal), take the ridged side and break it off
right before it starts to make a U-turn onto the straight side.  The curved part
t can now be used as a handle.  Now, using a file, file down the other end 
until it is fairly thin.  You should do this to many hairpins and file them
so they are of different thicknesses so you can pick various locks.  Some locks
are so cheap that ya don't even have ta file!  But most are not.  Ok, now you 
have a lock pick.  Now if ya haven't figured it out, here's how ya use it.  
You look at a lock to see which side the lock opens from.  If you can't tell,
you will just have to try both sides.  When ya find out what side it opens from,
, take the lock pick and stick the filed end into the inside of the horseshoe-
shaped bar on whichever side the lock opens from.  Now, put pressure on the 
handle of the lock pick (pushing down, into the crack) and pull the lock up and 
down. The lock will then open because the pick separated the wedge and the 
notch allowing us thieves to open it.  Don't say bullshit until you've tried it.
Because I have gotten lots of beer money from doin' this to fellow students' 
gym lockers.  Also, this technique works best on American locks.  I have never
picked a Master lock before because of the shape a pressure of the wedge but
if anyone does it, let me know how long it took.  Also, the Master lock casing
is very tight so ya can't get the pick in.  So, if you're locking something
valuable up, use a Master, cuz at least ya know I won't be picking it and I'm
sure there aren't that many that could.  And when I say pick, i don't mean 
lighting a stick of dynamite next to the lock, picking is opening a lock without
t using force, making a substitute key, etc...  If any of you believe that this
information is not sufficient for picking an American lock, or any other kind besides Master, leave me a message at /\/\etallant 1 (503) 538-0761.  
     This concludes my text file on picking combination locks.  My next text file will probably be "Picking key locks".  See ya later.

                           How to Pick Master Locks 
By Gin Fizz & Ninja NYC 
 
    Have you ever tried to impress your friends by picking one of those Master 
combination locks and failed? Well then read on. The Master lock company has 
made this kind of lock with a protection scheme. If you pull the handle of it 
hard, the knob won't turn. That was their biggest mistake...... Ok, now on to 
it. 
 
    1st number.  Get out any of the Master locks so you know what's going on. 
1: The handle part (the part that springs open when you get the combination), 
pull on it, but not enough so that the knob won't move. 2: While pulling on it 
turn the knob to the left until it won't move any more. Then add 5 to this 
number. Congradulations, you now have the 1st number. 
 
    2nd number. (a lot tougher) Ok, spin the dial around a couple of times, 
then go to the 1st number you got, then turn it to the right, bypassing the 1st 
number once. WHEN you have bypassed. Start pulling the handle and turning it. 
It will eventually fall into the groove and lock. While in the groove pull on 
it and turn the knob. If it is loose go to the next groove; if it's stiff you 
got the second number. 
 
    3rd number: After getting the 2nd, spin the dial, then enter the 2 numbers, 
then after the 2nd, go to the right and at all the numbers pull on it. The lock 
will eventually open if you did it right. If can't do it the first time, be 
patient, it takes time. 
 
 Have phun...

|  StunGun: Deffensive and Offensive   |
|  Strategies; Mods to kit; 10/3/86    |
+--------------------------------------+

        Need a weapon, but don't want to hassle the registration, or worry
about being caught possesing 1?  Then there is now the StunGun[s/g]...it is
legal in most states.

        Actually, the s/g is based on the TaserGun, that the cops now use to
subdue violent offenders.  The s/g is a modification the the kit u buy.
The kit has 2 prongs that u must actually push into the victum-which is stupid
and risky for 3 reasons:

  1) the attacker may mistake the s/g as a weapon and shooot u dead right there
     when u try to pull it out
  2) the attacker may shoot u as u try to stab him with the electrodes
  3) there may be more than 1 attacker

        The modification disguises it as a shity-old flashLight so he will
think nothing of it as you zap him.  Take an old beat-up medium sized flash
light about 6 inches long...it has to be long enuf 2 house the p_c board,
dart gun mechanism, flashLight battery etc...now, mount  the p_c board into
the back part, leaving nuf room for dart-gun mech...be sure to fan-fold the
electrod wire so when the dart fires, it will lead nice and smooth, and fast.
U might want to put in a powerful BB-gun type air-powered projecter to make
sure the electrodes penetrate a thick leather jacket.  If you are really
mechanicaly oriented, U would best to make it reatractable, so u can zap
1 attacker, stun him for a sec, retract the elect., then zap the others...

Strategies:

1) it would be best if u make the s/g still shine a light-to keep the disgise-
and to avoid suspicion.
2) test the s/g out periodically on ur neighbors dog or cat to make sure the
battery is up to power and the circuit's r working right--> note, if the
animal goes into a convulsing, twitching-muscle lock and dies frothing at the
mouth, its putting out too much wattage...tune it down a bit.  U not wanto
to get into the situation wher u zap some ugly-reeking ultimate bad-ass
psycho and have it give him a nasty shock and start an epileptic-provoking
electrical neuro-storm and he goes crazy on ya!!!!!!  Its not as hard as you
might think to test it out and get some practive on a human subject:
The original developers paid a volunteer to pose as a human guini pig...U 2
can put out an ad in some punk-rocker bar and will be surprised at the # of
low-lifes wanting to get off on this 'new drug' or 'ultimate pain dispensor'
ha, one punk gang requires it as an initiation to get into their gang and
if u ever wanted out, u would have to stand up for 5 full secs of 25K wat!
  NOte: 1 sec at 25K wats will stun ua, and posibly confuse u for a bit, as
ur neurons deal with the surge of activity and u hear the crisp crack of
flesh being burned away adn the bright arc of lightning blind ya...5 secs
is usually enuf to knock u unconscious for 30-45 mins.

3) now that u r a certified s/g operator, here are some off/deff strategies for
various situations u may find urself in some fine day...

case A: ur strolling down the street one fine day in may, on the south side
of Chicago, at 3am, don't ask y, ur lost or want to do some s/g practice...
when a dark NEGRO pops down from an overhead fireEscape and kindly says:
'GOOD EVENING, WHITE HONKY-S.O.B-MOTHERFUCKINGCOCKSUCK-A, may ah  borra
100 doll-as???...i will surely pay u back on tuesdday'...now, the best way
to handle this fuckUp is to hand over ur fake wallot with fake-counterFit
bills and fake ID int it...(note: incase he does get away, u not want him to
l8r be caught with ur drivers liscense etc, cuz cases have been known where
some dumbFuck temp. secretary has mistakenly given u his long criminal
record-which could take months and major hassles to fix...)  Always keep ur
real wallot inside the inseams in ur jacket or pants, or inside pockets.
---> do NOT attempt to talk ur way into any kinda deal with by offering
phreak codz etc, as these inner-city scums usually r 9th grade dropouts
whoes volcalbulary consists of < 100 words and will not understand or
believe u!  Now, in tis case, u would not pull out ur s/g, rather, wait
til he is running away THEN zap him!!!  also note that these punks may
have a gun on ya, but usually r NOT loaded, cuz they don't want the
hassles of that either...but it IS loaded, the s/g will cause him to convulse
and may make him pull the trigger, so its best to zap him in the back.

case b: ur driving along at a nice clip along a highWay with ur rader jammer
 when a gang of 'mad max' types chucks a rock thru ur windsheild forcing
u to jam on the brakes and stop...now, if there are about 3-4 of em, just
get out ur s/g and be ready to zap the leader, u no, the big, ugly one...
this will cause the other punks to scatter like flies.  If there are more,
and u have the retractable s/g, zap one, retract, zap the others til u have
them undercontrol...BUT, if they look like they have guns or bombs, HIT
THE GAS AND GET THE FUCK OUTTA THERE FAST!!!
Variations on case a: if u are driving an 18 weeler thru the inner city and
got stopped at a light, and u see some 'saba-haba-howba-duba' nigger standing
on the corner with a pair of boltCutters lookin at ya, there are 2 things u
can do here: u no that in 15 secs they have the bac doors open and are D/Ling
crates...1) lay on the airHorn and run the red...2) reverse and crush em
against the car behind, then floor it and run the red...if u don't wanto
do these optons, then booby-trap the bac doors to zap'em...

case c: u gots a burgler breaking in...if he is any good and sees ur array
of strobing LEDs and thinks he can get by, rig up a motion detector to the
s/g and zap him upon entry...u would then have ur sys autoScan #s til it finds
help and plays a digitized voice of the emergency.

Things to do: say u need bux fast, but don't wanta risk a holdup? well then,
merely zap the 7-11 attendant, what could be easier??  or u may even build
a remote controled model helicopter with a zaper on it to hold up a bank...
they already have ultra small cameras that use CCDs, or Charged Coupled
Devices that can see in the dark etc...all crontroled on a microwave freq,
what can they do besides shoot it down or try to jam the freq?  ...well,
i think u can come up with some innovative ideas on ur own...atom...A_I

oh, for info on the kit, see the Sep '86 issue of Radio Electronics mag.
the kit is about $40...there is also some good info bout communications, from
DC to microwave, and other shit...check it out.
ave, and other shit...check it out.

     MANY OF YOU OUT THERE PROBABLY HAVEFANTASIES OF REVENGE AGAINST TEACHERS,  PRINCIPALS AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE JUSTASSHOLES. DEPENDING ON YOUR LEVEL OF    HATRED OF THIS PERSON I WOULD ADVISE    THAT YOU DO SOME OF THESE FOLLOWING     EXPERIMENTS:

     (1) POURING DISHSOAP INTO THE GAS  TANK OF YOUR ENEMY- MANY OF YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT GASOLINE + DISHSOAP(E.G. JOY, PALMOLIVE, ETC.) FORM A MIXTURE CALLED  NAPALM. NOW NAPALM IS A JELLY-LIKE      SUBSTANCE USED IN BOMBS, FLAMETHROWERS, ETC. NOW YOU CA
N ONLY GUESS WHAT THIS   MIXTURE WOULD DO TO SOMEONE'S FUEL LINE!!!!

     (2) SPREADING DIRTY MOTOR OIL/CASTOR OIL ON SOMEONE'S EXHAUST PIPE- WHEN   THE EXHAUST PIPE HEATS UP(AND IT WILL!!)THE MOTOR OIL OR CASTOR OIL ON THE PIPE WILL CAUSE THICK, DISGUSTING SMOKE TO   OOZE FORTH FROM THE BACK OF THAT CAR.   WHO KNOWS MAYBE
 HE/SHE MIGHT BE PULLED  OVER AND GIVEN A TICKET!!

     (3) LIGHT BULB BOMB- YOU CAN       REPLACE A LIGHT BULB WITH A BOMB THAT   YOU KNOW THAT PERSON WILL USE. A LIGHT BULB CAN BE MADE BY (A) GETTING A TORCH( SUCH AS A PROPANE TORCH VIA K-MART) (B) TAKING A LIGHT BULB AND APPLYING THE    TORCH TO WHERE 
THE BASE OF THE BULB(THE PART YOU SCREW IN) AND THE ACTUAL BULB  MEET. (C) AFTER A LITTLE WHILE THE GLASS WILL BECOME SOFT ALLOWING YOU TO       CAREFULLY REMOVE THE BASE FROM THE BULB ITSELF(BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE     FILAMENT) (D) NOW FILL THE BUL
B WITH    NAPLAM(GAS/DISHSOAP) (E) NOW TAKE SUPER-GLUE AND APPLY IT TO THE GLASS WHERE THE BASE AND GLASS MEET(ALONG THE RIM) (F) NOW INSERT THE BASE INTO THE BULB CAREFULLY. (G) ALLOW TO DRY AND YOU GOT YOURSELF A BOMB (H) NOW REPLACE IN A FIXTURE YOUR E
NEMY IS TO USE THE REGULAR LIGHT BULB WITH THE ONE YOU MADE. MAKE SURE THE LAMP/DESK LIGHT IS OFF!!! NOW WHEN YOUR ENEMY TURNS ON THE LIGHT, HE/SHE IS IN FOR A SUPRISE. BUT BE FOREWARNED THIS WILL MOST LIKELY KILL OR SERIOUSLY INJURE THIS PERSON. FOR A GO
OD TUTORIAL ON HOW TO MAKE A LIGHT BULB BOMB RENT THE MOVIE THE SOLDIER WITH SCOTT GLENN. THERE IS AVERY DETALIED SCENE DESCRIBING HOW TO MAKE IT.

    (4) SIMPLE SMOKE/STINK BOMB- YOU CAN PURCHAASE SULPHUR AT A DRUGSTORE UNDER THE NAME FLOWERS OF SULPHUR. NOW WHEN   SULPHUR BURNS IT WILL GIVE OFF A VERY   STRONG ODOR AND PLENTY OF SMOKE. NOW ALL YOU NEED IS A FUSE FROM A FIRECRACKER, A TIN CAN, AND 
THE SULPHUR. FILL THE CAN WITH SULPHUR(PACK VERY LIGHTLY), PUT ALUNINUM FOIL OVER THE TOP OF THE CAN, POKE A SMALL HOLE INTO THE FOIL, INSERT THE WICK, AND LIGHT IT AND GET OUT OF THE ROOM IF YOU VALUE YOUR LUNGS. YOU CAN    FIND MANY USES FOR THIS( OR AT
 LEAST I  HOPE SO.

FUN WITH ALARMS
 
 
A FACT I FORGOT TO MENTION IN MY PREVIOUS ALARM ARTICLES IS THAT ONE CAN ALSO
USE POLYURETHANE FOAM IN A CAN TO SILENCE HORNS AND BELLS.  YOU CAN PURCHASE
THIS AT ANY HARDWARE STORE AS INSULATION.  IT IS EASIER TO HANDLE AND DRIES
FASTER.
 
MANY PEOPLE THAT TRAVEL CARRY A POCKET ALARM WITH THEM.  THIS ALARM IS A SMALL
DEVICE THAT IS HUNG AROUND THE DOOR KNOB, AND WHEN SOMEONE TOUCHES THE KNOB HIS
BODY CAPACITANCE SETS OFF THE ALARM.  THESE NASTY NUISENCES CAN BE FOUND BY
WALKING DOWN THE HALLS OF A HOTEL AND TOUCHING ALL THE DOOR KNOBS VERY QUICKLY.
 IF YOU HAPPEN TO CHANCE UPON ONE, ATTACH A 3' LENGTH OF WIRE OR OTHER METAL
OBJECT TO THE KNOB.  THIS WILL CAUSE THE SLEEPING BUSINESS PIG INSIDE TO THINK
SOMEONE IS BREAKING IN AND CALL ROOM SERVICE FOR HELP.  ALL SORTS OF FUN AND
GAMES WILL ENSUE.
 
SOME HIGH-SECURITY INSTALATIONS USE KEYPADS JUST LIKE TOUCH-TONE PADS (A
REGISTERED TRADE MARK OF BELL SYSTEMS) TO OPEN LOCKS OR DISARM ALARMS.  MOST
USE THREE OR FOUR DIGITS. TO FIGURE OUT THE CODE, WIPE THE KEY-PAD FREE FROM
ALL FINGERPRINTS.  AFTER IT HAD BEEN USED JUST APPLY FINGER PRINT DUST AND ALL
FOUR DIGITS WILL BE MARKED.  NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FIGURE OUT THE ORDER.
 
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME FUN WITH A KEYPAD, TRY PRESSING THE * AND # AT THE
SAME TIME.  MANY UNITS USE THIS AS A PANIC BUTTON.  THIS WILL BRING THE OWNER
AND THE COPS RUNNING AND EVER-ONE WILL HAVE A GOOD TIME.  NEVER TRY TO REMOVE
THEM FROM THE WALL, AS THEY ALL HAVE TAMPER SWITCHES.
 
ON THE SUBJECT OF HOLDUPS, MOST PLACES (INCLUDING SUPER-MARKETS, LIQUER STORES,
ETC.) HAVE WHAT IS KNOWN AS A MONEY CLIP.  THESE LITTLE NASTIES ARE PLACED AT
THE BOTTOM OF A MONEY DRAWER AND WHEN THE LAST FEW BILLS ARE WITH-DRAWN A
SWITCH CLOSES AND SETS THE ALARM OFF.  THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR WITHDRAWL
IT'S BEST TO HELP YOUR-SELF SO YOU CAN CHECK FOR THESE LITTLE NASTIES.  IF YOU
FIND THEM, MERELY INSERT ONES UNDERNEATH THE PILE OF TWENTIES, AND THEN PULL
OUT THE TWEN-TIES, LEAVING THE ONE-DOLLAR BILL BEHIND TO PREVENT THE CIRCUIT
FROM CLOSING.
 
IF YOU SHOPLIFT AND SEE CAMERAS, LOOK AT THE BRAND.  IF IT IS SURVEILLANCE
VIDEO SYSTEMS (SVS) YOU NEED NOT WORRY. THESE CAMERAS LOOK REALISTIC TO THE
POINT OF PILOT LIGHTS, COAX, AND SCANNING.  HOWEVER, THEY ARE ONLY EMPTY BOXES.

(>READ> HOW TO MAKE TNT
How to make TNT
 
By  THE SCREAMER
*s*c**re*a***m**e**r*
 
Probably the most important explosive compond in use today is TNT (trinitrotoluene).  This and other very similar types of high explosives ar all used by the military, because of their fantastic power- about 2.25 millions pounds per square inch, and there
 great stability.  TNT also has the great advantage of being ableto be melted at 82 degrees F., so that it can be poured into shells, mortars, or any other projectiles.  Military TNT comes in containers which resemble dryu cell batteries, and are usually 
ingnited by an electrical charge, coupled with an electical blasting cap, although there are other methods.
 
Preparation of TNT
 
1. Take two beakers.  In the first prepare a solution of 76 percent sulfuric acid, 23 percent nitric acid and 1 percent water.  In the other beaker, prepare another solution of 57 percent nitric acid and 43 percent sulfuric acid (percentages are on a weig
ht ratio rather than volume).
 
2. Ten grams of the first solutions are poured into an empty beaker and placed in an ice bath.
 
3. Add ten grams of toluene, and stir for several minutes.
 
4. remove this beaker from the ice bath and gently heat until it reaches 50 degrees C.  The solution is stirred constantly while being heated.
 
5. Fifty additional grams of the acid, from the first beaker, are added and the temperature is held for the next ten minutes, and an oily liquid will begin to form on the top of the acid.
 
6. After 10 or 12 minutes, the acid solution is returned to the ice bath, and cooled to 45 begrees C> when reaching this temperature, the oily liquid will sink and collect at the bottom of the beaker.  Atr this point, the remaining acid solution should be
 drawn off, by using a syringe.
 
7. Fifty more grams of the first acid solution are added to the oily liquid while the temperature is SLOWLY being raised to 83 degrees C.  After this temperature is reached, it is maintaind for a full half hour.
 
8. At the end of this period, he solution is allowed to cool to 60 degrees C>, and is held at this temperature  for another full half hour.  After this, the acid is again drawn off, leaving once more only the oily liquid at the bottem.
 
9. Thirty grams of sulfuric acid are added, while the oily liquid is gently heated to 80 degrees C.  All temperature increases must be accoumplished slowly and gently.
 
10.Once the desired temperature is reached, 30 grams of the second acid solution are added, and the temperature is raised from 80 dgregrees C> to 104 degrees C., and is held for three hours.
 
11.After this three hour period, the mixture is lowered to 100 degrees C. and held there for a half hour.
 
12.After this half hour, the oil is removed form the acid and washed with boiling water.
 
13.After the washing with boiling water, while being stired constantly, the TNT will begin to solidify.
 
14.When the solidification has started, cold water is added to the beaker, so that the TNT will form into pellets.  Once this is done, you have a good quality TNT.
 
NOTE: the temperatures used in the preparation of TNT are EXACT, and must be used as such.  DO NOT estimate or use aproximations.  Buy a good centigrade thermometer.
 
The author take NO RESPONSIBILITY for any damage to persons or property for this formula.  It is supplied for STUDY PURPOSES ONLY.

   THIS IS AN ANTI-PERSONNEL BOMB MEANT FOR MILLING CROWDS. THE BOTTOM OF A
SOFT DRINK CAN IS HALF CUT OUT AND BENT BACK. A GIANT FIRECRACKER OR OTHER
EXPLOSIVE IS PUT IN AND SURROUNDED WITH NUTS AND BOLTS OR ROCKS. THE FUSE IS
THEN ARMED WITH A CHEMICAL DELAY IN A PLASTIC DRINKING STRAW.
 
   AFTER FIRST MAKING SURE THERE ARE NO CHILDREN NEARBY, THE ACID OR
GLYCERINE IS PUT INTO THE STRAW AND THE CAN IS SET DOWN BY A TREE OR
WALL WHERE IT WILL NOT BE KNOCKED OVER. THE DELAY SHOULD GIVE YOU THREE
TO FIVE MINUTES. IT WILL THEN HAVE A SHATTERING EFFECT ON PASSERSBY.
 
   IT IS HARDLY LIKELY THAT ANYONE WOULD PICK UP AND DRINK FROM SOMEONE
ELSE'S SOFT DRINK CAN. BUT IF SUCH A CRUDE PERSON SHOULD TRY TO DRINK FROM
YOUR BOMB HE WOULD BREAK A NASTY HABIT FAST!

*******************************************************************************

Materials Required:
==================

              Sulphuric Acid (Battery Acid)
              Gasoline
              Potassium Chlorate (Drug Store)
              Sugar
              Glass bottle w/stopper (roughly 1 quart size)
              Small bottle or jar w/lid
              Rag or absorbent paper (newspaper, paper towels, etc.)
              String or rubber bands

Procedure:
=========

1)  Sulphuric Acid Must be Concentrated. If battery acid or other dilute acid
    is used, concentrate it by boiling until dense white fumes are given off.
    Container used should be of eenamelware or oven glass.

CAUTION:  Sulphuric acid will burn skin and destroy clothing.  If any is
          spilled, wash it away with a large quantity of water.  Fumes are also
          dangerous and should not be inhaled.

2)  Remove the acid from heat and allow to cool to room temerature.

3)  Pour gasoline into the large (1 quart) bottle until it is approximately
    2/3 full.

4)  Add concentrated sulphuric acid to gasoline slowly until the bottle is
    filled to within 1' to 2' from top.  Place the stopper on the bottle.

5)  Wash the outside of the bottle thoroughly with clear water.

CAUTION:  If this is not done, the fire bottle may be dangerous to handle
          during use.

6)  Wrap a clean cloth or several sheets of absorbent paper around the outside
    of the bottle.  Tie with string or fasten with rubber bands.

7)  Dissolve 1/2 cup (100 gm) of potassium chlorate and 1/2 cup (100 gm) of
    sugar in one cup (250 cc) of boiling water.

8)  Allow the solution to cool, pour into the small bottle and cap tightly.
    The cooled solution should be approx. 2/3 crystals and 1/3 liquid.  If
    there is more liquid than this, pour off excess before using.

CAUTION:  Store this bottle separately from the other bottle.

How To Use:
==========

1)  Shake the small bottle to mix contents and pour onto the cloth or paper
    around the large bottle.  Bottle can be used wet or after solution has
    dried.  However, when dry, the sugar - Potassium chlorate mixture is very
    sensitive to spark or flame and should be handled accordingly.

2)  Throw or launch the bottle.  When the bottle breaks against a hard surface
    (target) the fuel will ignite.

Conclusion:
==========

    This weapon proves to be very useful in torching Assholes and/or their
    possessions.  Use your imagination.

 Okay...There are certain ways to take 
money out of a change machine...
 
1) You can blow the fucker up..
2) You can use this quick and easy method


  Heres what ya do....

 I.
   There are certain types of money
changing machines...The one YOU need
is the kind where ya put yer bill in
the tray <lengthwise> ,push the tray
in to get yer change...

 II.
   Once you got the right machine,get
a $5 or a $1 ,it helps if the bill is
WRINKLED...Then tear a notch in the 
bill on the lower left side of the 
bill.Cut the notch about 3.5 cm. from
the lower left hand corner...

III.
    Now, go to the machine..put the 
bill in the tray and slide it in...
Now what will happen is the machine
will have so far read the bill right
and it will spit out yer change..
Then when it reads the notch, it 
will think the bill is fucked up and 
reject it  and like you will have the 
change  and yer bill...

 For this to werk right you must have
done this right..it does take practice
 but once you can do this your local
Money Changer will be yer bank...

 oh yeah one more thing..dont tell
or upload this file to to many places
otherwise every fuckin person in the 
nation will be doin this  and this 
file would be no use....  
  whatever...

What it is
----------

This handy little device can be used for two purposes. The first is a FM bug,
which transmits on the FM frequency, thus making it extremely easy to pick up.
The second is a FM station blocker (which can be really fun if you are pissed
at someone who just happens to be listening to the radio. In this case, you 
can do 1 (or both) of these: A) announce through the bug (on their station)
that Fred (whoever is listening) has just won 1 years supply of orthopedic
shoe pads, or B) disconnect the mike, and let it fry the station.) In this
file, I will make some incredibly lame schematics, which any fool can follow,
(lets see you make good schematics with Apple Writer), and tell you all the
junk you need (duh..) Ok, if you have no electronics background at all, go
ahead and try it anyways (hell, it's not my money your wasting on parts)

How to operate
--------------

1. Turn on (duh..)

2. Turn the variable capacitor until you are on the station that you want to 
 use (preferably towards either end, so if they turn on their radio, they
don't get a bunch of audio feedback when they hit your station)

3. This bug does not have a long range (50 ft max), but if you use a large 
 antenna on your stereo (like the rooftop kind) the range is greatly increased
. I prefer to use a AM/FM walkman, so I can get close to the bug, and tape what
I want.

TIME DELAYED CHEMICAL FUSE
--------------------------
 
1) Put 1 teaspoon full of of potassium
   permanganate in a tin can.
 
2) add glycerine
 
3) wait 3-4 min.
 
4) get the hell out.. the stuff will
   smoke, then burst into flame..
 
 
** potasium permanganate stains like
   iodine but worse [it's purple]
 
** the reaction will spatter a bit
   ->it can be messy...
 
** it doesn't matter if the amounts
   are uneven [ie. 1 part to 3 parts]

ALUMINUM KILLER (OVERNIGHT)
---------------
 
silver iodide --> aluminum iodide
 + aluminum        + silver
 
              ..or..
 
 
AgI + Al --> Ag + AlI
 
ALUMINUM IODIDE is very hydroscopic --
it will absorb water [it will even
absorb water out of the air!]
 
SILVER IODIDE eats through aluminum --
the resulting aluminum iodide will
>disolve itself< as it aborbs H20 from
the air!
The final result is aluminum with a
wet hole in it. [the wetness is AlI
solution]
 
 
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
 
THERMITE
--------
 
This stuff can burn *anything*. [except
Tungsten].. It's great for burning
open a fortress fone [a pay phone, for
those who do not know]
 
Here is the step-by-step on how to make
it.
 
 
1) First you need rust. The best way
   to make alot of it is....
 
      a) get an electric train trans-
         former
      b) attach a common nail to the
         PLUS (+) end of the trans-
         former
      c) get a glass jar
      d) fill it with water
      e) put salt [regular table salt
         is fine] into the water
      f) put the other end (-) into
         water with the nail [leave the
         transformer out, of course]
      g) turn on the transformer
      h) let the contraption run over-
         night
      i) seperate out all the red shit
         [that's the rust] with a
         filter or a spoon.
      j) let the stuff dry [like on
         a paper towel]
      k) that's it! you have rust!
 
2) Get some aluminum filings from the
   hardware store [or shave your own
   from a bar with less that 94% pure
   aluminum, called duralumin]
 
3) Now, just mix:
 
           8 grams rust
     --------------------------
      3 grams aluminum filings
 
4) That's Thermite!! Now, to ignite
   it...
 
5) You now need some Magnesium ribbon.
   To get it, you can:
 
       a) steal it from the chemistry
          lab at school
       b) buy it at the hardware store
       c) buy it from a chemical
          supply house.
 
6) Alright, shove the Magesium ribbon
   into the Thermite at a fuse.
 
7) Then light it with a blowtorch.
   [It won't get hot enough to ignite
   the Thermite, though]
 
8) last step: get the hell back.
   [it can vaporize CARBON STEEL!]
 
 
** my thanx to the person who wrote
   the file "Thermite".. whoever the
   hell you are.....................
   [put your name in if you ever get
   this]

          PIPE OR "ZIP" GUNS
          ------------------

              Commonly known as "zip" guns, guns made from pipe have been used for years by juvenile punks.  Today's Militants make them just for the hell of it or to shoot once in an assassination or riot and throw away if there is any danger of apprehen
sion.

              They can be used many times but with some, a length of           dowel is needed to force out the spent shell.

              There are many variations but the illustration shows the           basic design.

              First, a wooden stock is made and a groove is cut for           the barrel to rest in.  The barrel is then taped securely to           the stock with a good, strong tape.

              The trigger is made from galvanized tin.  A slot is           punched in the trigger flap to hold a roofing, which is           wired or soldered onto the flap. The trigger is bent and           nailed to the stock on both sides.

              The pipe is a short length of one-quarter inch steel gas           or water pipe with a bore that fits in a cartridge, yet keeps the cartridge rim from passing through the pipe.

              The cartridge is put in the pipe and the cap, with a           hole bored through it, is screwed on.  Then the trigger is
          slowly released to let the nail pass through the hole and           rest on the primer.

              To fire, the trigger is pulled back with the left hand           and held back with the thumb of the right hand.  The gun is then aimed and the thumb releases the trigger and the thing actually fires.

              Pipes of different lengths and diameters are found in           any hardware store.  All caliber bullets, from the .22 to           the .45 are used in such guns.

              Some zip guns are made from two or three pipes nested           within each other.  For instance, a .22 shell will fit           snugly into a length of a car's copper gas line.           Unfortunatey, the copper is too weak to withstand the

          pressure of the firing.  So the length of gas line is spread           with glue and pushed into a wider length of pipe.  This is spread with glue and pushed into a length of steel pipe with threads and a cap.

              Using this method, you can accomodate any cartridge,           even a rifle shell.  The first size of pipe for a rifle           shell accomodates the bullet.  The second accomodates its           wider powder chamber.

              A 12-gauge shotgun can be made from a 3/4 inch steel           pipe.  If you want to comply with the gun laws, the barrel           should be at least eighteen inches long.

              Its firing mechanism is the same as that for the pistol.           It naturally has a longer stock and its handle is lengthened into a rifle butt.  Also, a small nail is driven half way into each side of the stock about four inches in the fr
ont of the trigger.  The rubber band is put over one nail and  brought around the trigger and snagged over the other nail.

              In case you actually make a zip gun, you should test it           before firing it by hand.  This is done by first tying the gun to a tree or post, pointed to where it will do no damage.  Then a string is tied to the trigger and you go off s
everal yards.  The string is then pulled back and let go. If the barrel does not blow up, the gun is safe to fire by           hand.

              You should not attempt to register such a gun.                          Pipe Cap

Hey, check out the facts,let's see
what they do for your PARANOIA:
 
 Natural gas flows through millions of
miles of piplines in the U.S. One
charge will blow up a gas pipeline  
along miles of its length since the
air let into the pipeline by the exp-
losion will cause secondary explosions.
Of 65 pipelines,24 carry 97% of the gas
which accounts for more than one-third
of the nation's total energy supply.
Only 4 pipelines connects the gas      
fields in the South and Southwest to
New York and Los Angeles. Maps of the
lines can be obtanied from the Dept-
ment ofEnergy and by studying industry
journals.
 
 
 Oil pipelines can be destroyed by
penetrating the central pipeline cont-
rol system. In one Southern city, which
controls oil movement in several states. 
  Yikes! And contrary to the argument
advanced by some self-styled special-
ists and the news media that few poss-
ess the technological expertise to use
weapons of mass destruction, it is 
much much easier than you think.
  
  There's a book giving location,pub-
lished in the New York Times,Feb 1979,
two large map pinpointing every power
station and transmission line from
Washington to the Canadian border.
Blowing up some of these stations and
lines would wipe out the electrical
supply of the East Coast.
 
  For another example, the a Book
called 'Basement Nukes, $6.95, by
some guy named, Charles Clark. 
Title of the book is :
  Technological Terrorism $10.00
 
Clark shows how they canb  be readily
obtained by theft from inefficently
guarded nuclear plants and armories.
 Both of the above mentioned books
are readily available to anyone with
the buck, how sad,huh...shit!
 
 Technological Terrorism is a nightmare
scenario,and a serious warning to every
one of us.
 
 That really screws up the old head.

EXPLOSIVES AND INCENDIARIES by THE
RESEARCHER


INTRODUCTION: The trouble with text
books on chemistry and explosives is
the attitude with which they are
written. They don't say, "Now I know
youuwould like to blow holy hell out of
something just for the fun of it so
here is how to whip up something in 
your kitchen to do it". They tell you
how Dupont does it or how the anchient
Chineese did it but not how you can do
it with the resourses and materials
available to you. Even army manuals on
field expedient explosives are almost
useless because they are just outlines
written with the understanding that an
instructor is going to fill in the
blanks. It is a fun game to search out
the materials that can be put together
to make something go "boom". You can
find what you need in grocery stores,
hardware stores, and farm supplies. An
interesting point to remember is that
it is much easier to make a big e
xplosion than a small one. It is very
difficult for a home experimenter to
make a firecracker, but a bomb capable
of blowing the walls out of a building
is easy. The king of explosives for the
do-it-yourselfer is black powder. It is
easy to make and when properly confined
is capable of devestating power. CLOSEINFORM
ootable powder used for
spraying. It is cheap and works well.
Some drug stores sell sulfur under the
name Flowers of Sulfur. If you use
Nitrate of Soda, it will be in the form
of prills (little round beads). Bake it
in an oven at 250 degrees for 10-15
minutes to drive out the moisture. Then
dump a cup or two into a blender and
switch it on. It will do a beautiful
job of reducing it to powder. Buy a bag
of charcoal briquettes at a grocery
store. Put a few briquettes in a rag
and pound with hammer. Dump the result
into the blender, grind, then strain
through a tea strainer. Mix by volume:
6 parts potassium or Sodium Nitrate, 2
parts powdered charcoal, 1 part sulfur.
This mixture will burn if ignited and
will explode if ignited while tightly
confined. It can be greatly improved,
however, by processing it as follows:
Moisten with water until it will stick
together when pinched between thumb and
finger. Press it into a disposable
aluminum pie pan. Bake in a preheated
oven at 250 degrees for about 30
minutes--get it totally dry. Grind into
as fine a powder as possible. A mortar
and pestle is best. If you use a
blender at this point, there is a
danger of explosion. It is not very
sensative to friction or impact, but is
very sensative to sparks. If you
followed these directions, you should
have a fine slate-grey powder.

When baking black powder, remember to
preheat the oven. Place your pie pan
approximately in the center of the
oven. Do not set it on the bottom of
the oven. These warnings are to prevent
hot spots that could ignite the powder
causing a fire or explosion. Something
went wrong once when my father-in-law
was doing this and it blew the door
right off the oven. His training in
military demolitions included field
expedient explosives. The point is that
things can go wrong even when you know
what you are doing. Protect yourself at
all times. Use common sense. Wear
safety glasses; don't stand in front of
oven, etc. HOW TO MAKE BLACKMATCH FUSE:
Take a flat piece of plastic or metal
(brass or aluminum are easy to work
with and won't rust). Drill a 1/16th
inch hole through it. This is your die
for sizing the fuse. You can make fuses
as big as you want, but this is the
right size for the pipe bomb I will be
getting to later. To about 1/2 cup of
black powder add water to make a thin
paste. Add 1/2 teaspoon of corn starch.
Cut some one foot lengths of cotton
thread. Use cotton, not silk or thread
made from synthetic fibers. Put these
together until you have a thickness
that fills the hole in the die but can
be drawn through very easily. Tie your
bundle of threads together at one end.
Separate the threads and hold the
bundle over the black powder mixture.
Lower the threads with a circular
motion so they start curling onto the
mixture. Press them under with the back
of a teaspoon and continue lowering
them so they coil into the paste. Take
the end you are holding and thread it
through the die. Pull it through
smoothly in one long motion. To dry
your fuse, lay it on a piece of
aluminum foil and bake it in your 250
degree oven or tie it to a grill in the
oven and let it hang down. The fuse
must be baked to make it stiff enough
for the uses it will be put to later.
Air drying will not do the job. If you
used Sodium Nitrate, it will not even
dry completely at room temperatures.
Cut the dry fuse with sissors into 2
inch lengths and store in an air tight
container. Handle this fuse carefuly to
avoid breaking it. You can also use a
firecracker fuse if you have any
available. The fuses can usually be
pulled out without breaking. To give
yourself some running time, you will be
extending these fuses (blackmatch or
firecracker fuse) with sulfured wick.
HOW TO MAKE SULFURED WICK: Use heavy
cotton string about 1/8th inch in
diameter. You can find some at a garden
supply for tieing up your tomatoes. Be
sure it's cotton. You can test it by
lighting one end. It sould continue to
burn after the match is removed and
when blown out will have a smoldering
coal on the end. Put some sulfur in a
small container like a small pie pan
and melt it in the oven at 250 degrees.
It will melt into a transparent yellow
liquid. If it starts turning brown, it
is too hot. Coil about a one foot
length of string into it. The melted
sulfur will soak in quickly. When
saturated, pull it out and tie it up to
cool and harden. It can be cut to
desired lengths with sissors. 2 inches
is about right. These wicks will burn
slowly with a blue flame and do not
blow out easily in a moderate wind.
They will not burn through a hole in a
metal pipe, but are great for extending
your other fuse. They will not throw
off sparks. Blackmatch generates sparks
which can ignite it along its length
causing unpredictable burning times.
Now you have the basic ingredients to
shake the earth like thunder. In the
next installment or two, I will tell
you how to put it all together to do ju
st that. You will find that you have
baked a very deadly pie. I have twice
been accused of setting off dynamite in
the woods. The explosive power of your
little grey powder may exceed your
expectations, so choose your testing
ground with care.

HOW TO MAKE A PIPE BOMB: Buy a section
of metal water pipe 1/2 by 6 inches
long, threaded on both ends. Buy two
metal caps to fit. These are standard
items in hardware stores. Drill a
1/16th hole in the center of the pipe.
This is easy with a good drill bit.
Hanson is a good brand to use. Screw a
metal cap tightly on one end. Fill the
pipe to within 1/2 inch of the top with
black powder. Do not pack the powder.
Don't even tap the bottom of the pipe
to make it settle. You want the powder
loose. For maximum explosive effect,
you need dry, fine powder sitting loose
in a very rigid container. Wipe off any
powder that has gotten onto the top or
threads of the pipe. Gently screw on
the second cap. Hand tighten only.
Place a small piece of tape over the
hole and go to your test site. Remove
the tape and insert a two inch piece of
black match fuse or a firecracker fuse
into the hole. Place the bomb behind a
large rock or tree. Using thread or
string, lightly tie a 2 inch piece of
sulfured wick to the end of the fuse.
Avoid letting the wick touch any
objects. This might cause it to go out.
Light the wick and head for cover in a
direction that keeps the rock or tree
between you and the bomb at all times.
Get behind cover at least 50 yards
away. You may not expect such a large
explosion from such a small object. Be
extra cautious until You have done this
a time or two and it gets real what you
are dealing with. The pipe will be
blown to pieces which will fly through
the air like bullets. An accident could
seriously wound or kill you. This is
not a big firecracker. It is more like
a hand grenade. The size of the bomb
can be increased by using a larger pipe
and caps. To make a big noise without
blowing up your pipe, cap one end only.
Drill a 1/16 hole at the top of the
threads at the capped end. Put in about
3 to 4 rounded teaspoonsful of powder.
Pack about 2 inches of wadding on top
of the powder. Toilet paper or kleenex
is good for this. Pack it tight. Open
up a safety pin and stick it into the
hole. Work it around to loosen up the
powder so a fuse can be inserted. When
this goes off, the recoil will be
tremendous. You will loose your pipe
unless you brace it securely against
something. The pipe can be reloaded and
used again. A fun trick is to mount the
pipe pointing upward. Drop a tin can
over the open end and light the fuse.
The can will be blown high into the
air. Campbell's soup cans are great for
this. HOW TO MAKE ROCKET FUEL: This is
easy to make and fun to play with. Mix
equal parts by volume Potassium or So
dium Nitrate and granulated sugar. Pour
a big spoonful of this into a pile.
Stick a piece of blackmatch fuse into
it; light; and step back. This is also
a very hot incendiary. A little
imagination will suggest a lot of
experiments for this. ANOTHER ROCKET
FUEL: Mix equal parts by volume of zinc
dust and sulfur. Watch out if you
experiment with this. It goes off in a
sudden flash. It is not a powerful
explosive, but is violent stuff even
when not confined because of its fast
burning rate. --- As I continue from
this point some of the ingredients are
going to be harder to get without going
through a chemical supply. I try to
avoid this. I happen to know that B.
Prieser Scientific (local to my area)
has been instructed by the police to
send them the names of anyone buying
chemicals in certain combinations. For
example, if a person were to buy
Sulfuric acid, Nitric acid and Toluene
(the makings for TNT) in one order the
police would be notified. I will do the
best I can to tell you how to make the
things you need from commonly available
materials, but I don't want to leave
out something really good because you
might have to scrounge for an
ingredient. I am guessing you would
prefer it that way.

HOW TO MAKE AN EXPLOSIVE FROM COMMON
MATCHES: The word "safety" in safety
matches is misleading. The chemical on
the heads of safety matches is a
powerful explosive. It is similar to
black powder but has a lower ignition
temperature (more sensative to heat)
and unlike black powder is easily
detonated by impact. This feature moves
it up into the high explosives class.
To test this, lay a paper safety match
on a hard flat surface and hit the head
sharply with a hammer. What do you
know! It goes bang! To collect a
quantity of this explosive, it is best
to use wooden safety matches. Buy
several cartons. They're cheap. Note
that these should be safety matches,
not the strike anywhere kind. Pinch the
head near the bottom with a pair of
wire cutters to break it up; then use
the edges of the cutters to scrape off
the loose material. It gets easy with
practice. You can do this while
watching TV and collect enough for a
bomb without dieing of boredom. Once
you have a good batch of it, you can
load it into a pipe instead of black
powder. Be careful not to get any in
the threads, and wipe off any that gets
on the end of the pipe. Never try to
use this stuff for rocket fuel. A
science teacher was killed that way.
Just for fun while I'm on the subject
of matches, did you know that you can
strike a safety match on a window pane?
Hold a paper match between your thumb
and first finger. With your second
finger, press the head firmly against a
large window. Very quickly, rub the
match down the pane about 2 feet while
maintaining the pressure. The friction
will generate enough heat to light the
match. Another fun trick is the match
rocket. Tightly wrap the top half of a
paper match with foil. Set it in the
top of a pop bottle at a 45 degree
angle. Hold a lighted match under the
head until it ignites. If you got it
right, the match will zip up and hit
the ceiling. I just remembered the
match guns I used to make when I was a
kid. These are made from a bicycle
spoke. At one end of the spoke is a
piece that screws off. Take it off and
screw it on backwards. You now have a
piece of stiff wire with a small hollow
tube on one end. Pack the material from
a couple of wooden safety matches into
the tube. Force the stem of a match
into the hole. It sould fit very
tightly. Hold a lighted match under the
tube until it gets hot enough to ignite
the powder. It goes off with a bang.
--- For later projects, like a chemical
time delay fuse, you will need some
concentrated sulfuric acid. So, I
better tell you how to make it. HOW TO
MAKE CONCENTRATED SULFURIC ACID FROM
BATTERY ACID: Go to an auto supply
store and ask for "a small battery
acid". This should only cost a few
dollars (about 4 dollars). What you
will get is about a gallon of dilute
sulfuric acid. Put a pint of this into
a heat resistant glass container. The
glass pitchers used for making coffee
are perfect. Do not use a metal
container. Use an extension cord to set
up a hotplate out doors. Boil the acid
until white fumes appear. As soon as
you see the white fumes, turn off the
hot plate and let the acid cool. Pour
the now concentrated acid into a glass
container. The container must have a
glass stopper or plastic cap -- no
metal. It must be air tight. Otherwize,
the acid will quickly absorb moisture
from the air and become diluted. Want
to know how to make a time bomb that
doesn't tick and has no wires or
batteries? Hold on to your acid and
follow me into the next installment.

HOW TO MAKE A CHEMICAL TIME DELAY FUSE:
To get an understanding of how this is
going to work, mix up equal parts by
volume Potassium chlorate and
granulated sugar. Pour a spoonful of
the mixture in a small pile and make a
depression in the top with the end of a
spoon. Using a medicine dropper, place
one drop of concentrated sulfuric acid
in the depression and step back. It
will snap and crackle a few times and
then burst into vigorous flames. To
make the fuse, cut about 2 inches off a
plastic drinking straw. Tamp a small
piece of cotton in one end. On top of
this put about an inch of the
clorate/sugar mixture. Now lightly tamp
in about a quarter inch of either glass
wool or asbestos fibers. Secure this
with the open end up and drop in 3 or 4
drops of sulfuric acid. After a few
minutes the acid will soak through the
fibers and ignite the mixture. The time
delay can be controled by the amount of
fiber used and by varying how tightly
it is packed. Don't use cotton for
this. The acid will react with cotton
and become weakened in the process. By
punching a hole in the side of the
straw, a piece of blackmatch or other
fuse can be inserted and used to set
off the device of your choice.
Potassium chlorate was very popular
with the radical underground. It can be
used to make a wide variety of
explosives and incendiaries, some of
them extremely dangerous to handle. The
radicals lost several people that way.
But, don't worry. I am not going to try
to protect you from yourself. I have
decided to tell all. I will have more
to say about Potassium chlorate, but
for now, let's look at a couple of
interesting electric fuses.

HOW TO MAKE AN ELECTRIC FUSE: Take a
flashlight bulb and place it glass tip
down on a file. Grind it down on the
file until there is a hole in the end.
Solder one wire to the case of the bulb
and another to the center conductor at
the end. Fill the bulb with black
powder or powdered match head. One or
two flashlight batteries will heat the
fillament in the bulb causing the
powder to ignite. ANOTHER ELECTRIC
FUSE: Take a medium grade of steel wool
and pull a strand out of it. Attach it
to the ends of two pieces of copper
wire by wrapping it around a few turns
and then pinch on a small piece of
solder to bind the strand to the wire.
You want about 1/2 inch of steel strand
between the wires. Number 18 or 20 is a
good size wire to use. Cut a 1/2 by 1
inch piece of cardboard of the type
used in match covers. Place a small
pile of powdered match head in the
center and press it flat. place the
wires so the steel strand is on top of
and in contact with the powder.
Sprinkle on more powder to cover the
strand. The strand should be surounded
with powder and not touching anything
else except the wires at its ends.
Place a piece of blackmatch in contact
with the powder. Now put a piece of
masking tape on top of the lot, and
fold it under on the two ends. Press it
down so it sticks all around the
powder. The wires are sticking out on
one side and the blackmatch on the
other. A single flashlight battery will
set this off. ELECTRIC FUSE # 3: An
excellent electric fuse can be bought
ready made at hobby and toy stores. The
y are sold for setting off model
rockets.

MORE SPONTANIOUS COMBUSTION: Some of
the ingredients for these can only be
had from a chemical supply so they are
not my favorites. Look for powdered
aluminum at a good painting supply.
METHOD # 1: Scatter out a few crystals
of chromic anhydride. Drop on a little
ethyl alcohol. It will burst into flame
immediately. METHOD # 2: Mix by weight,
four parts ammonium chloride, one part
ammonium nitrate, four parts powered
zinc. Pour out a small pile of this and
make a depression on top. Put one or
two drops of water in the depression.
Stay well back from this. METHOD # 3:
Put one gram of powdered potassium
permanganate into a paper cup. Drop two
drops of glycerine onto it. After a few
seconds it will burst into flames.
METHOD # 4: Spoon out a small pile of
powdered aluminum. Place a small amount
of sodium peroxide on top of this. A
volume the size of a small pea is about
right. One drop of water will cause
this to ignite in a blinding flare.
METHOD # 5: Mix by volume 3 parts
concentrated sulfuric acid with 2 parts
concentrated nitric acid. Hold a
dropper of turpentine about 2 feet
above the mixture. When drops strike
the acid they will burst into flame.

HOW TO MAKE NITROGEN TRIIODIDE: Here
are some notes I took four years ago on
how to make this wild explosive that
can be detonated by a fly walking on
it. Five grams iodine, three grams
potassium iodide, 20 ml. concentrated
ammonium hydroxide, filter paper,
funnel. Stir the potassium iodide and
iodine together in a beaker with 50 ml.
of water. Add the ammonium hydroxide
with stirring until no more precipitate
forms. Filter and spread a thin layer
of the wet solid on several filter
papers. Break the filter papers into
many small pieces and allow to dry for
several hours. On drying, the paper is
extremely sensitive to touch and will
explode violently with the slightest
disturbance. Can be handled safely when
wet. Do not let any sizeable quantity
of the dry material accumulate. --- I
was able to buy concentrated ammonium
hydroxide from a photographic supply.

           (_>Shadow Hawk 1<_)

I actually got this from a movie, and
have tried it [IT WORKS!!!]. Ok you may
have to do this a couple times before
you get it. Heres what you need:

A few light bulbs
Torch [one that will melt glass, radio
       shack single cylender model will
       do]
Some gasoline
Some liquid soap
Some epoxy glue

Heres what you do:

1) Make a hole in the light bulb like
   this:



                   *
                  ---
                  : :
  Make hole here  : :  or here.
                \ / \ /
                 /   \
                :     :
                :     :
                 \---/
             Not here!!!!!

2) Making the hole, like in the diagram
[dont make it on the bottom, because if
the seal you will make should break,
the person/room you want to eliminate
will notice the hole [and the gasoline
on the floor!!!] whereas the if its on
top it will still work...

3) Now carefully fill the light bulb
about half full with gas, and then the
rest with soap [hold on angle if you
have to]. Now epoxy the hole shut, and
screw it in...

have phun

                           MAKING THERMITE
                            BY X CALIBUR
 
      THERMITE IS A POWERFUL SUBSTANCE WHICH CAN BURN THROUGH PRACTICALLY
ANYTHING, SAVE TUNGSTEN. IT IS SPECIALLY OF USE IN TRYING TO CRACK
OPEN A FORTRESS FONE.  NOW HERE'S HOW YOU MAKE IT. IT IS VERY SIMPLE.
      THE FIRST STEP IN MAKING THERMITE IS TO MAKE HEMATITE. IN LAYMAN'S TERMS,
EMATITE IS IRON OXIDE (RUST). HERE IS GOOD METHOD OF MAKING LARGE QUANTITIES
OF RUST. OU WILL ELECTROLYZE A METAL ROD, SUCH AS A COMMON NAIL. YOU WILL
NEED A SURCE OF DC POWER AS WELL. AN ELECTRIC TRAIN TRANSFORMER IS PERFECT.
ATTATCH THE ROD TO THE POSITIVE WIRE. THEN PLACE THE ROD AND THE NEGATIVE
                      ^^^^^^^^
WIRE IN OPPOSITE SIDES OF A GLASS JAR FILLED WITH WATER. PUT A LITTLE SALT
IN THE WATER, JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE IT CONDUCT WELL (A TEASPOON). LET THE
SETUP SIT OVERNIGHT. IN THE MORNING, HERE WILL BE A DARK RED CRUD IN THE
JAR. FILTER ALL THE CRUD OUT OF THE WATER OR JUST FISH IT OUT WITH A SPOON.
NOW YOU WILL NEED TO DRY IT OUT. HEAT IT I AN IRON POT UNTILL IT ALL TURNS
A NICE LIGHT RED.
      THE OTHER INGREDIANT YOU WILL NEED IS ALUMINUM FILINGS. YOU CAN EITHER
FILE DOWN A BAR OF ALUMINUM, OR (AS I SUGGEST) BUY ALUMINUM FILINGS AT
YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE SHOP. (IF YOU BUY THE BAR USE NO LESS THN 94% PURE
ALUMINUM. IT IS CALLED DURALUMIN.) THAT'S ALMOST IT. NOW, MIX TOGETHER
THE RUST AND ALUMINUM FILINGS. THE RATIO SHOULD BE 8 GRAMS OF RUST PER
3 GRAMS OF ALUMINUM FILINGS. THAT'S THERMITE!
      NOW, TO LIGHT IT! STICK A LENGTH OF MAGNESIUM RIBBON IN A PILE OF THE
THERMITE. (EITHER STEAL IT FROM CHEM LAB OR BUY IT AT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE
STORE. IF NOT, ORDER FROM A CHEMICAL SUPPLY HOUSE. IT'S PRETTY CHEAP.)
THE RIBBON SHOULD STICK INTO THE THERMITE LIKE A FUSE.  NOW YOU LIGHT THE
MAGNESIUM WITH A BLOWTORCH. (DON'T WORRY. THE TORCH ISN'T HOT ENOUGH TO
LIGHT THE THERMITE.) WHEN THE BURNING MAGNESIUM REACHES THE THERMITE, IT
WILL LIGHT. WHEN THE THERMITE BURNS, GET THE HELL BACK! THAT STUFF CAN
VAPORIZE CARBON STEEL. IT DOES WONDERS ON HUMAN FLESH.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
 
LETTER BOMBS ARE VERY SIMPLE TO MAKE, BUT THE DIFFICULT PART IS MAKING SURE
IT WILL DETONATE PROPERLY, OR THAT IT IS NOT OBVIOUS THAT IT IS A BOMB.
 
MIXTURES:
ABOUT 75% ALUMINUM POWDER WITH 25% IRON POWER IS BEST.  THIS IS A LIGHT
VERSION OF THERMITE, SINCE IT IS IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE (THE ENVELOPE, AS
DESCRIBED BELOW A WAYS). MIX THE ABOVE WELL.  THE IDEA IS
THIS:  IRON CAN BURN, AT A VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE, BUT IT NEEDS A LITTLE
HELP.  THIS IS WHAT THE ALUMINUM IS FOR.  ALUMINUM BURNS AT A RELATIVELY
LOW TEMPERATURE, SO IT IS USED AS A CATALYST OF SORTS.  MAGNESIUM IS USED
TO FLASH-IGNITE THE ALUMINUM, WHICH THEN BURNS THE IRON, AT A SUITABLE
TEMPERATURE.  SINCE THIS IS GOING OFF IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE, IT WILL BURN
MUCH HOTTER AND SLOWER AND WITH MORE VIOLENCE THAN A NORMAL MIX.
I ADVISE YOU PLAY WITH THIS FOR A WHILE, LEARNING YOUR MIXTURE.
 
NOW FOR THE FUN STUFF:
GET AN INSULATED (PADDED) ENVELOPE, THE TYPE THAT IS DOUBLE LAYERED.
SEPERATE THE LAYERS.  IN THE INNER LAYER GOES THE WONDERFUL MIXTURE,
ONE YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH.  KEEP THIS SECTION SEPERATE, BUT IT MIGHT
BE HANDLE TO TOP IT OFF WITH SOME MAGNESIUM.  THE OUTER LAYER CAN BE
EITHER MAGNESIUM, FOR A FLASH BOMB, OR POSSIBLY A MATERIAL OF YOUR OWN
CHOICE.
  
NOW FOR THE DIFFICULT PART! THE FUSE...   WE CAN MAKE A FUSE
FROM ANOTHER SET OF CHEMICALS: IODINE CRYSTALS, AND AMONIUM HYDROXIDE,
IN LIQUID FORM.  MIX THESE TOGETHER,IN ABOUT AND EQUAL AMOUNT, BUT YOU 
MIGHT WANT TO USE A HEAVY AMOUNT OF IODINE IF PRESSED FOR TIME.  THESE
FORM A NEW CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE, ABOUT AND INCH LONG.  THESE ARE HIGHLY
VOLATILE, AND I ADVISE KEEPING THEM PROTECTED.  THEY HAVE ABOUT THE IMPACT
POWER OF AN M-100 FOR A TEASPOON. I PUT THESE IN A PROTECTIVE CARD-BOARD
LINING, AND PUT THEM AT THE TOP OF THE ENVELOPE.  RIG THIS SO IT PUTS
PRESSURE ON

    How to get Revenge on Someone
    -----------------------------
Written by Black Fire and Capt. Cloner
 
 
  Everyone has an enemy that they would
like to seek revenge on without the
victim knowing who the aggressor is.
Here are ways that have been proven
effective in the field of harrasing 
and/or annoying someone.
 
  Call the news papers, and adverise
an arctile similar to this:  "You too
can make calls free through MCI, ITT,
and other long distance services just
by making a local call.  For more
information, send a self-adressed
stamped envlope to:(fill in name and
adress with zip code)"  After this has
appeared in the papers, inform your
local FBI agent or police officer of
his ad.  You can also advertise an ad
like this: "Apple //e, 128k, 2 disk
drives, Amdek Color 3 Monitor, Hayes
Smartmodem 1200, and much more.  $750
or best offer. (phone number)".
 
  Another prank is to call house at all
hours, and post on all boards that a
new bulletin board is opening up at
his number.  Get everyone you know to
call him at all times (preferably late
at night.  Call answering machines,
and give the persons number and tell
them to call right away.  Also during
the day you can look up people in the
phone that have a "Mr. and Mrs." there,
and the wife will probably be home, but
not the husband, so tell the wife to 
tell the husband to call your victim
as soon as possible and give number.
Call Taxi's, Exterminators, Pizza
deliverys, Catorers, Garages, Plumers,
Dog Funeral Homes, Flower and Ballon
deliverys, Moving Services, Singing
and Striptease telegrams, Junkyards to
remove garbage, report robberies and
fires at his/her house, Locksmiths,
order oil from several companies 
(heating oil), order family portraits
taken at their home, sign him/her up
for the army, call realtors to put
house for sale, Septic cleaners, house
remodelers, call Bell + tell you are
having with phone, call cable company,
and call phone sex lines that call
back and give his number to call back.
Order plane tickets, send brochures of
all shit like colleges, beauty schools,
and all other things that send info.
on their place, and adress it to:
"DICK" and his last name.
 
  To have a little phun, drop by his
house one day, tie a chain to the back
of you truck/car and the other end to
the victims mailbox.  Take off, and no
more mailbox.  Also, throw eggs at 
house and cars, piss on cars and is gas
tank of cars.  Get 300 sheets+ of paper
and put in a paper shreader and after
it is in 1" by 1" pieces, throw all 
over his lawn in various places.
Another fun thing is to bring along
a baseball bat and knock the shit out
of his mailbox.  Send mail with not
enough postage to them, and wrap up
bricks and rocks and put no return 
adress on them and drop in a mailbox.
Get a library card out in his name, and
take out books and don't return them.
Lay tacks on either side of tires of
his car so either way he will run over
them.  Take weed killer, and pour it
on his flower garden or put your
initials on his front yard with it so
it will show up with dead grass.  You
can also use the old trick of laying
dog shit on his front porch.  Pour
grease all over driveway and steps,
dump your garbage cans over front yard,
when he puts his garbage at the end
of the driveway, dump the cans over the
street so he will have to pick it up in
the morning.  Smear warm tar on his
car windshield, and that shit isn't
coming off.  Crazy Glue or stick gum
over and in his car locks, and if he
goes to school do the same to his
locker.  Catch fish, and let them sit
out in the sun for a day, and that 
night lay the fish in their front yard.
Lay cow shit in their air conditioner,
 and stick sticks in the between the
fan blades for the air conditioner.
The toilet paper around their trees is
always good, and wet toilet paper and
stand out in the street and whip them
at their house, and when it dries, it
is hard as rock stuck to their house.
If they leave toys out, stick skate-
boards under car tires, rip heads off
of dolls, pull seats out bikes, and
let air out of bike tires.  You can
also ride by in the car with your BB
gun, and try your target practice.
Some of this has been tried, and some
not, but remember that it is best to
be near them when these happen, so you
can see their faces.  Never hint who
you are, and warn that you are not
finshed yet.  The best weapon you have
is your phone, because they can't keep
their phone off the hook 24 hrs. a day.
If they take the phone off the hook,
try back in 1/2 hour, and it will be
back on.  Most of these have been
proven effective, and the others will
most likely effective.  We have sat
here for hours thinking of every 
possible method of harrasing, bothing,
and annoying someone to the point of
insanity.  This has been written by
Black Fire with the help of Captain
Cloner.  We will be writing more as
soon as more ideas are tested.  You
will be hearing more from us.  Have
fun, and remember this is only a game!

SO YOU WANT TO BE A CRIMINAL. WELL, IF YOU ARE WANTING TO BE LIKE
JAMES BOND AND OPEN A LOCK IN FIFTEEN SECONDS, GO TO HOLLYWOOD
BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE YOUR GONNA DO IT. EVEN EXPERIENCED
LOCKSMITHS CAN SPEND 5 TO 10 MINUTES ON A LOCK IF THEY'RE
UNLUCKY. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR EXTREMELY QUICK ACCESS, LOOK
ELSEWHERE.

THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS WILL PERTAIN MOSTLY TO THE
"LOCK-IN-KNOB" TYPE LOCK, SINCE IT IS THE EASIEST TO PICK. IF
THERE IS SUFFICIENT DEMAND, I WILL LATER WRITE A FILE DISCUSSING
THE OTHER FORMS OF ENTRANCE, INCLUDING DEAD-BOLT.

FIRST OF ALL, YOU NEED A PICK SET. IF YOU KNOW A LOCKSMITH, GET
HIM TO MAKE YOU A SET. THIS WILL BE THE BEST POSSIBLE SET FOR YOU
TO USE. IF YOU FIND A LOCKSMITH WILLING TO SUPPLY A SET, DON'T
GIVE UP HOPE. IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE YOUR OWN, IF YOU HAVE ACCESS
TO A GRINDER (YOU CAN USE A FILE, BUT IT TAKES FOREVER.)

THE THING YOU NEED IS AN ALLEN WRENCH SET (VERY SMALL). THESE
SHOULD BE SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT INTO THE KEYHOLE SLOT. NOW, BEND
THE LONG END OF THE ALLEN WRENCH AT A SLIGHT ANGLE..(NOT 90 DEG.)
IT SHOULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS:


  #1
       \\
        \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\         (THIS IS
                                                      THE HANDLE
                                           \\\        THAT WAS
                                                      ALREADY
                                           \\\        (HERE.)
                                           \\\
                                           \\\
                                           \\\


NOW, TAKE YOUR PICK TO A GRINDER OR A FILE AND SMOOTH THE END
(#1) UNTIL IT'S ROUNDED SO IT WON'T HANG INSIDE THE LOCK.  TEST
YOUR TOOL OUT ON DOORKNOBS AT YOUR HOUSE TO SEE IF IT WILL SLIDE
IN AND OUT SMOOTHLY. NOW, THIS IS WHERE THE SCREWDRIVER COMES IN.
IS IT SMALL ENOUGH FOR IT AND YOUR PICK TO BE USED IN THE SAME
LOCK AT THE SAME TIME, ONE ABOVE THE OTHER ?

LETS HOPE SO, BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOUR GONNA OPEN IT.


IN THE COMING INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE REFER TO THIS CHART OF THE
INTERIOR OF A LOCK:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX| K
 #  #  #  #   #   #    | E
    #     #   #   #    | Y
 *     *               | H
 *  *  *  *   *   *    | O
                       | L
                       | E
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX|

#= UPPER TUMLER PIN
*= LOWER TUMLER PIN
X= CYLINDER WALL

(THIS IS A GREATLY SIMPLIFIED DRAWING)

THE OBJECT IS TO PRESS THE PIN UP SO THAT THE SPACE BETWEEN THE
UPPER PIN AND THE LOWER PIN IS LEVEL WITH THE CYLINDER WALL. NOW,
IF YOU PUSH A PIN UP, ITS TENDANCY IS TO FALL BACK DOWN, RIGHT ?

THAT IS WHERE THE SCREWDRIVER COMES IN.

INSERT THE SCREWDRIVER INTO THE SLOT AND TURN. THIS TENSION WILL
KEEP THE "SOLVED" PINS FROM FALLING BACK DOWN. NOW, WORK FROM THE
BACK OF THE LOCK TO THE FRONT, AND WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH.....

THERE WILL BE A CLICK, THE SCREWDRIVER WILL TURN FREELY, AND THE
DOOR WILL OPEN. DON'T GET DISCOURAGE ON YOUR FIRST TRY! IT WILL
PROBABLY TAKE YOU ABOUT 20-30 MINUTES YOUR FIRST TIME. AFTER THAT
YOU WILL QUICKLY IMPROVE WITH PRACTICE.

THIS IS BY NO MEANS THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY OF ENTERING A HOUSE.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANOTHER ITEM OR TWO DEVOTED TO THESE OTHER
WAYS, LET THE SYSOP KNOW.

                            $^$^$^$^$^$^$^$^$^
 
                          Typed and uploaded by:
 
-------------------------------=>Sir Knight<=----------------------------------
 
     Napalm is in itself a very simple substance...it can be used for many 
things...(i.e. getting back at your neighor!!)Here's what'cha need:
 
===============================================================================
Gasoline                                Joy or Palmolive(I prefer Joy)
A Coke can with a sawed off top         Ammonia Pellets
A Drill                                 Some bendable wire
A Nail
===============================================================================
 
        First,make a mixture of 1/2 Joy(my favorite),and 1/2 Gasoline.
Take the coke can, and fill it half full with this wonderful mixture...
it should look like this:
 
          -^-^-^-^-^-^-^-
          !             !
          !             ! <-Coke Can
          !             !
          !=============!
          !=============!
          !=============! <-Mixture
          !=============!
          ---------------
 
     Now,take the drill(or some sharp object)and put a hole through the amm-
onia pellet big enough for the nail.. Put the nail through the pellet(which
I might add can be picked up at any farm supply store)and wire that to the
top of the can so the nail can be slipped out easily,allowing the pellet to
drop...WARNING:  DO NOT LET THAT PELLET FALL INTO THE MIXTURE,AS YOUR
WIFE WILL SOON BECOME A WIDOW!! Wait until you are ready to set it off to
let it drop...It should look like this:
 
      (========<+>=========)
      ! ^^Nail  ^^Pellet   !
      !                    !
      !                    !
      !                    !
      !====================!
      !====================! <-Mixture
      !====================!
      !====================!
      ----------------------
 
       And there is your Napalm grenade...if there is enough demand,
there will be another article on more advanced Napalm......

   The best methods of blowing up a car
requires getting under the hood. Explo
sives are placed as near the occupants
as possilbe. NOTE- THIS ARTICLE IS FOR
THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT CONTENT TO
PSYCH OUT THE DRIVER WITH SOME PRACT
ICAL JOKE. IF YOU HAVE HIS LAST RIDE
IN MIND, THEN READ ON:

   The fuse, homemade, commercial or
safetey, is wrapped a few turns around
the exhause manifold. After a few min-
utes on the road the exhaust manifold
gets almost red hot and ignites the
fuse.

   This way is more certain than wiring
the car because since it blows up on
the road the wreck will do the victem
in even if the blast doesn't. Besides,
if the intended victim is a passenger
instead of the driver, the driver may
start the engine before the passenger
gets into the car... You can see how
embarrassing that would be to the
bomber, can't you?

   Old-fashioned types, like the Mafia,
love to wire cars. They are too set in
thier ways to change and besides, they
get a charge out of seeing a car blow
up before thier eyes instead of
imagining it going to hell on the road.

   They usually use about three sticks
of dynamite, two lengths of electric
wire with two alligator clips for quick
attachment, and an electric blasting
cap. The cap is stuck into a dynamite
stick and its two wires are connected
to the two electric wires. Then one
alligator clip is clamped to the input
side of the coil and the other is
fastened to any metal surface in the
car's frame as a ground.

   This is very simple and you'd think
anyone could do it. But sure enough,
there are always morons who will attach
one clamp to a spark plug and one to a
ground. This usually results in mis
fires and no end of frustrations.

CHEMIST'S CORNER ARTICLE #1: EXPLOSIVES
BY ZAPHOD BEEBLEBROX/MPG


    UPLOADED BY -THE TRIXTER-


 THIS ARTICLE DEALS WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR CREATING SOME DANGEROUS EXPLOSIVE
S. IF YOU INTEND TO MAKE ANY OF THESE EXPLOSIVES, DO SO IN SMALL AMOUNTS ONLY, 
AS THEY ARE ALL DANGEROUS AND COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL YOU IF DONE IN LAR
GER AMOUNTS. IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CHEMISTRY, DON'T DO THESE EXPERIM
ENTS! I AM NOT JOKING IN GIVING THIS WARNING. UNLESS YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH, YOU
 SHOULDN'T TRY ANY OF THE FOLLOWING UNLESS YOU HAVE HAD PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH C
HEMICALS.
 I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INJURY OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY PEOPLE USING THIS INFO
RMATION. IT IS PROVIDED FOR USE BY PEOPLE KNOWLEDGABLE IN CHEMISTRY WHO ARE INT
ERESTED IN SUCH EXPERIMENTS AND CAN SAFELY HANDLE SUCH EXPERIMENTS.

===============================================================================


I. COMMON "WEAK" EXPLOSIVES.

 A. GUNPOWDER:
     75% POTASSIUM NITRATE
     15% CHARCOAL
     10% SULFUR
   
      THE CHEMICALS SHOULD BE GROUND INTO A FINE POWDER (SEPERATELY!) WITH A MO
RTER & PESTLE. IF GUNPOWDER IS IGNITED IN THE OPEN, IT BURNS FIERCELY, BUT IF I
N A CLOSED SPACE IT BUILDS UP PRESSURE FROM THE RELEASED GASES AND CAN EXPLODE 
THE CONTAINER. GUNPOWDER WORKS LIKE THIS: THE POTASSIUM NITRATE OXIDIZES THE CH
ARCOAL AND SULFUR, WHICH THEN BURN FIERCELY. CARBON DIOXIDE AND SULFUR DIOXIDE 
ARE THE GASES RELEASED.

 B. AMMONAL:
     AMMONAL IS A MIXTURE OF AMMONIUM NITRATE (A STRONG OXIDIZER) WITH ALUMINUM
 POWDER (THE 'FUEL' IN THIS CASE). I AM NOT SURE OF THE % COMPOSITION FOR AMMON
AL, SO YOU MAY WANT TO EXPERIMENT A LITTLE USING SMALL AMOUNTS.

 C. CHEMICALLY IGNITED EXPLOSIVES:
  
  1. A MIXTURE OF 1 PART POTASSIUM CHLORATE TO 3 PARTS TABLE SUGAR (SUCROSE) BU
RNS FIERCELY AND BRIGHTLY (SIMILAR TO THE BURNING OF MAGNESIUM) WHEN 1 DROP OF 
CONCENTRATED SULFURIC ACID IS PLACED ON IT. WHAT OCCURS IS THIS: WHEN THE ACID 
IS ADDED IT REACTS WITH THE POTASSIUM CHLORATE TO FORM CHLORINE DIOXIDE, WHICH 
EXPLODES ON FORMATION, BURNING THE SUGAR AS WELL.
  2. USING VARIOUS CHEMICALS, I HAVE DEVELOPED A MIXTURE THAT WORKS VERY WELL F
OR IMITATING VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS. I HAVE GIVEN IT THE NAME 'MPG VOLCANITE' (TM).
 HERE IT IS: POTASSIUM CHLORATE + POTASSIUM PERCHLORATE + AMMONIUM NITRATE + AM
MONIUM DICHROMATE + POTASSIUM NITRATE + SUGAR + SULFUR + IRON FILINGS + CHARCOA
L + ZINC DUST + SOME COLORING AGENT. (SCARLET= STRONTIUM NITRATE, PURPLE= IODIN
E CRYSTALS, YELLOW= SODIUM CHLORIDE, CRIMSON= CALCIUM CHLORIDE, ETC...).
  3. SO, DO YOU THINK WATER PUTS OUT FIRES? IN THIS ONE, IT STARTS IT. MIXTURE:
 AMMONIUM NITRATE + AMMONIUM CHLORIDE + IODINE + ZINC DUST. WHEN A DROP OR TWO 
OF WATER IS ADDED, THE AMMONIUM NITRATE FORMS NITRIC ACID WHICH REACTS WITH THE
 ZINC TO PRODUCE HYDROGEN AND HEAT. THE HEAT VAPORIZES THE IODINE (GIVING OFF P
URPLE SMOKE) AND THE AMMONIUM CHLORIDE (BECOMES PURPLE WHEN MIXED WITH IODINE V
APOR). IT ALSO MAY IGNITE THE HYDROGEN AND BEGIN BURNING.
     AMMONIUM NITRATE: 8 GRAMS
     AMMONIUM CHORIDE: 1 GRAM
     ZINC DUST: 8 GRAMS
     IODINE CRYSTALS: 1 GRAM
  4. POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE + GLYCERINE WHEN MIXED PRODUCES A PURPLE-COLORED FL
AME IN 30 SECS-1 MIN. WORKS BEST IF THE POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE IS FINELY GROUND
.
  5. CALCIUM CARBIDE + WATER RELEASES ACETYLENE GAS (HIGHLY FLAMMABLE GAS USED 
IN BLOW TORCHES...)

II. THERMITE REACTION.

  THE THERMITE REACTION IS USED IN WELDING, BECAUSE IT GENERATES MOLTEN IRON AN
D TEMPERATURES OF 3500 C (6000F+). IT USES ONE OF THE PREVIOUS REACTIONS THAT I
 TALKED ABOUT TO START IT! 

  STARTER=POTASSIUM CHLORATE + SUGAR
  MAIN PT.= IRON (III) OXIDE + ALUMINUM POWDER (325 MESH OR FINER)

    PUT THE POTASSIUM CHLORARE + SUGAR AROUND AND ON TOP OF THE MAIN PT. TO STA
RT THE REACTION, PLACE ONE DROP OF CONCENTRATED SULFURIC ACID ON TOP OF THE STA
RTER MIXTURE. STEP BACK! THE RATIOS ARE: 3 PARTS IRON(III) OXIDE TO 1 PART ALUM
INUM POWDER TO 1 PART POTASSIUM CHLORATE TO 1 PART SUGAR.
 WHEN YOU FIRST DO IT, TRY 3G:1G:1G:1G!
 ALSO, THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE STARTER FOR THE THERMITE REACTION. THE ALTERNATI
VE IS POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE + GLYCERINE. AMOUNTS: 55G IRON(III) OXIDE, 15G ALU
MINUM POWDER, 25G POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE, 6ML GLYCERINE.

III. NITROGEN-CONTAINING HIGH EXPLOSIVES.

  A. MERCURY(II) FULMINATE
      TO PRODUCE MERCURY(II) FULMINATE, A VERY SENSITIVE SHOCK EXPLOSIVE, ONE M
IGHT ASSUME THAT IT COULD BE FORMED BY ADDING FULMINIC ACID TO MERCURY. THIS IS
 SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT SINCE FULMINIC ACID IS VERY UNSTABLE AND CANNOT BE PURCHASE
D. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FIGURED OUT A WAY TO MAKE IT WITHOUT FULMINIC ACID. 
YOU ADD 2 PARTS NITRIC ACID TO 2 PARTS ALCOHOL TO 1 PART MERCURY. THIS IS THEOR
ETICAL (I HAVE NOT YET TRIED IT) SO PLEASE, IF YOU TRY THIS, DO IT IN VERY* SMA
LL AMOUNTS AND TELL ME THE RESULTS.

  B. NITROGEN TRIIODIDE
      NITROGEN TRIIODIDE IS A VERY POWERFUL AND VERY SHOCK SENSITIVE EXPLOSIVE.
 NEVER STORE IT AND BE CARFUL WHEN YOU'RE AROUND IT- SOUND, AIR MOVEMENTS, AND 
OTHER TINY THINGS COULD SET IT OFF.

MATERIALS-
   2-3G IODINE
   15ML CONC. AMMONIA
   8 SHEETS FILTER PAPER
   50ML BEAKER
   FEATHER MOUNTED ON A TWO METER POLE
   EAR PLUGS
   TAPE
   SPATULA
   STIRRING ROD

  ADD 2-3G IODINE TO 15ML AMMONIA IN THE 50ML BEAKER. STIR, LET STAND FOR 5 MIN
UTES.
DO THE FOLLOWING WITHIN 5 MINUTES!
   RETAIN THE SOLID, DECANT THE LIQUID (POUR OFF THE LIQUID BUT KEEP THE BROWN 
SOLID...). SCAPE THE BROWN RESIDUE OF NITROGEN TRIIODIDE ONTO A STACK OF FOUR S
HEETS OF FILTER PAPER. DIVIDE SOLID INTO FOUR PARTS, PUTTING EACH ON A SEPERATE
 SHEET OF DRY FILTER PAPER. TAPE IN POSITION, LEAVE TO DRY UNDISTURBED FOR AT L
EAST 30 MINUTES (PREFERRABLY LONGER). TO DETONATE, TOUCH WITH FEATHER. (WEAR EA
R PLUGS WHEN DETONATING OR COVER EARS- IT IS VERY LOUD!)

  C. CELLULOSE NITRATE (GUNCOTTON)

       COMMONLY KNOWN AS SMOKELESS POWDER, NITROCELLULOSE IS EXACTLY THAT- IT D
OES NOT GIVE OFF SMOKE WHEN IT BURNS.

MATERIALS-
  70ML CONCENTRATED SULFURIC ACID
  30ML CONCENTRATED NITRIC ACID
  5G ABSORBENT COTTON
  250ML 1M SODIUM BICARBONATE
  250ML BEAKER
  ICE BATH
  TONGS
  PAPER TOWELS

   PLACE 250ML BEAKER IN THE ICE BATH, ADD 70ML SULFURIC ACID, 30 ML NITRIC ACI
D. DIVIDE COTTON INTO .7G PIECES. WITH TONGS, IMMERSE EACH PIECE IN THE ACID SO
LUTION FOR 1 MINUTE. NEXT, RINSE EACH PIECE IN 3 SUCCESSIVE BATHS OF 500ML WATE
R. USE FRESH WATER FOR EACH PIECE. THEN IMMERSE IN 250ML 1M SODIUM BICARBONATE.
 IF IT BUBBLES, RINSE IN WATER ONCE MORE UNTIL NO BUBBLING OCCURS. SQUEEZE DRY 
AND SPREAD ON PAPER TOWELS TO DRY OVERNIGHT.


  D. NITROGLYCERINE

    NITROGLYCERINE IS A *VERY* DANGEROUS SHOCK SENSITIVE EXPLOSIVE. IT IS USED 
IN MAKING DYNAMITE, AMONG OTHER THINGS.
    I AM NOT SURE AS TO THE PROPORTIONS AND AMOUNTS OF CHEMICALS TO BE USED, SO
 I SHALL USE ESTIMATES.

MATERIALS-
  70ML CONC. SULFURIC ACID
  30ML CONC. NITRIC ACID
  10 ML GLYCERINE
  ICE BATH
  150ML BEAKER

   PUT THE 150ML BEAKER IN THE ICE BATH AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS VERY COLD. SLO
WLY ADD THE 70ML SULFURIC AND 30ML NITRIC ACIDS TO THE BEAKER, TRYING TO MAINTA
IN A LOW TEMPERATURE. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE STARTS TO LEVEL OFF, ADD ABOUT 10ML 
GLYCERINE. IF IT TURNS BROWN OR LOOKS FUNNY, **RUN LIKE HELL**. WHEN NITROGLYCE
RINE TURNS BROWN, THAT MEANS IT'S READY TO EXPLODE... IF IT STAYS CLEAR AND ALL
 WORKS WELL, KEEP THE TEMPERATURE AS LOW AS YOU CAN AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW HO
URS. YOU THEN SHOULD HAVE SOME NITROGLYCERINE, PROBABLY MIXED WITH NITRIC AND S
ULFURIC ACIDS. WHEN YOU SET IT OFF, YOU MUST NOT BE NEARBY. NITROGLYCERINE CAN 
FILL 10,000 TIMES ITS ORIGINAL AREA WITH EXPANDING GASES. THIS MEANS THAT IF YO
U HAVE 10ML'S OF NITROGLYCERINE IN THERE, IT WILL PRODUCE SOME 100,000ML'S OF G
ASES.
   TO MAKE IT INTO DYNAMITE, THE NITROGLYCERINE MUST BE ABSORBED INTO SOMETHING
 LIKE WOOD PULP OR DIAMAECEOUS EARTH (SPELLED SOMETHING LIKE THAT).


IV. OTHER STUFF

  A. PEROXYACETONE

   PEROXYACETONE IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND HAS BEEN REPORTED TO BE SHOCK SENSI
TIVE.

MATERIALS-
  4ML ACETONE
  4ML 30% HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
  4 DROPS CONC. HYDROCHLORIC ACID
  150MM TEST TUBE

 ADD 4ML ACETONE AND 4ML HYDROGEN PEROXIDE TO THE TEST TUBE. THEN ADD 4 DROPS C
ONCENTRATED HYDROCHLORIC ACID. IN 10-20 MINUTES A WHITE SOLID SHOULD BEGIN TO A
PPEAR. IF NO CHANGE IS OBSERVED, WARM THE TEST TUBE IN A WATER BATH AT 40 CELSI
US. ALLOW THE REACTION TO CONTINUE FOR TWO HOURS. SWIRL THE SLURRY AND FILTER I
T. LEAVE OUT ON FILTER PAPER TO DRY FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS. TO IGNITE, LIGHT A 
CANDLE TIED TO A METER STICK AND LIGHT IT (WHILE STAYING AT LEAST A METER AWAY)
.

  B. SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE...

   THE FOLLOWING REACTION SHOULD PRODUCE A FAIR AMOUNT OF SMOKE. SINCE THIS REA
CTION IS NOT ALL THAT DANGEROUS YOU CAN USE LARGER AMOUNTS IF NECESSARY FOR LAR
GER AMOUNTS OF SMOKE.

   6G ZINC POWDER
   1G SULFUR POWDER

    INSERT A RED HOT WIRE INTO THE PILE, STEP BACK. A LOT OF SMOKE SHOULD BE CR
EATED.





 THERE ARE MANY OTHER EXPERIMENTS I COULD HAVE INCLUDED, BUT I WILL SAVE THEM F
OR THE NEXT CHEMIST'S CORNER ARTICLE. UPCOMING ARTICLES WILL INCLUDE GLOW-IN-TH
E-DARK REACTIONS, 'PARTY' REACTIONS, THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS
, AND MORE...

 I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE CREDIT TO A BOOK BY SHAKASHARI ENTITLED "CHEMICAL DEMONST
RATIONS" FOR A FEW OF THE PRECISE AMOUNTS OF CHEMICALS IN SOME EXPERIMENTS.


 THIS IS IT FOR CHEMIST'S CORNER #1... LOOK FOR CHEMIST'S CORNER #2: WHAT TO DO
 WITH HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS...
