Chez Copeland developed explosives at home because of 'obsessive interest' with military, court hears

Now wonder how many seriously malicious people will use this to walk out of prison sentences in the future. 'Ohh I wasn't building an IED, was only self experimenting to crave my curiosity.' might become the norml and it does worry me about the future.

I used a 12v bulb with the glass removed !!. A car battery and a long length of electrical cable.



And of course a tree.


Please don't forget about the tree!!
 
1 foot of lead pipe fresh from a church nr you , add 2 ft of hobby store jet fuse , mix sugar and weed killer = wasp nest is gone or any other :eek::popcorn::rofl: all about growing up but I did know a lad in our school that lost most of his fingers getting the mix wrong :norty: anti steel my bike det easy to make vie tilt switch nothing is new just how it was Dads knew more about stuff back then and passed it on to the kids you never know if that tree needs to be moved :stir::norty:
 
We never filled boiled sweet tins with bangers with the paper removed .And dropped it in a coffee jar to make shrapnel coz that would be naughty and wrong.
And remember hand bangers well they never got taped together in big grenades as that made a rather loud noise wouldn't it
 
We used to “Borrow” fog warning detonators from the railway track....stood them up by a wall then fired ball bearings at them with our catapults.
I got out of hand when the school sent us on a weekly cross country run along side the rail track.
Most kids in our year had detonators in class.
Of course, someone had to carry the can...2 of us got singled out to take the rap.
Fined 17 Shillings and 6 Pence each, 1955.

Brings back memories of a very misspent childhood, remember stuffing a steel tube full of the usual sugar mix, putting a pile of it around it an lighting it, the resultant bang was something to remember but a few seconds later a rather nasty piece of twisted sharp steel came hurtling down from above just missing me and my mates. (One of who went on to work in the nuclear bomb industry)
