Materials:
Duct tape (can never have enough)
Roll of toilet paper
Crayola powdered children's washable paint mix
Water
M-80 firecracker (m-60's might work haven't tried though, but don't buy the small stuff like m-2000's)
Model rocket igniter thingie that comes in the engine packages
Thirty or more feet of wire, with positive and negative leads
9v battery
Tools:
Scissors
Glue gun
What to Do:
There are three different parts of this project that must be done first
to make production run smoothly, I will put them in order of the amount
of time needed to do them, so that you don't have to wait on something
to dry or mix thoroughly.
The steps are:
I. Making the paint
II. Making the explosive charge(not as dangerous as it sounds...)
III.Making the shell
I. Making the paint
Okay, the icky gooey part first... the paint in this device has to
be able to be thick and chunky in order for it to have enought viscocity
not to leak through the walls of the shell. If done correctly you will
have a very nasty looking brew with which you can reak havoc upon your
foes, if done incorrectly your finished product could have unsatisfying
results.
Step 1: Take the toilet paper off of the toilet paper roll, don't throw the roll away! you'll use is later...
Step 2: Take the powdered paint and make about a quart of THICK paint by adding water
Step 3: Tear up the toilet paper in to shreds(don't go overboard, just rip it up a bit) then chunk it into the paint. now stir it all up until you think it's good and ready, about 3 min. should do the trick.
Step 4: Take a strainer of some sort and dip it into the stew
you just made, and get all of the toilet paper out. let the toilet paper
hang somewhere drizzling all of the paint out(don't force it out!)
II. Making the explosive charge
This is a very safe and easy way to make an electrically triggered
m-80, if done correctly, if done incorrectly you could walk out with a
little less digits than when you went in. The main thing to remember here
is safety, don't put your work by a fireplace, don't smoke while doing
it, and don't go walking around in your socks, shuffling your feet on carpets!!
Let's get to it...
Step 1: Take the m-80 and look at it. there should be a plastic cap on either of the ends. take off the cap that the wick is going into and place it off to the side because you'll need it later.
Step 2: Take your scissors and cut the wick about 1/8" from where it goes into the grey stuff.
Step 3: Take the rocket booster igniter and place it right on top of the cut wick, and i mean RIGHT on top or beside, if this igniter doesn't catch the wick, you've got a dud on your hands when your finished.
Step 4: Now very carefully move the igniter over to the side of the m-80 on the cardboard at the lip of the m-80 and put a dab of hot glue there, be VERY careful not to let it leak inside!! let that sit for a minute.
Step 5: Now get that cap you put to the side and place it back on, so that the wires poke out of the top, you might have to cut a notch to let the wires through, if you do, then after you place the cap back on, put some glue in the extra open area so that it is liquid tight. also make sure that the two wires are not touching anywhere, this could cause a short, and you'd have a dud.
III.Making the shell
This is not too tricky, you'll need some duct tape, scissors and oh
yeah...that toilet paper roll you probably threw away.
Step 1: Take the toilet paper roll and smash the roll length ways flat on the table, so that it has two creeces in it running length ways.now unflattened it and line up the creeces so that if you wanted to you could smash them ontop of each other, causing two more creeces to be made, now smash the roll again, you should now have what look like a rectangular prism, if you do, good for you.
Step 2: With your scissors in one hand and your prism in the other proceed to cut about 5/8" down each creece, on either side of the prism.Do it now.
Step 3: Now it's duct tape time!! fold the cuts of one side of the prism inward on top of each other, preferably in a cross over pattern, the way you would a box when storing it and don't have any tape. now take some tape and put it on the folds, and put it all over it, especially around the corners. try not to tape in the middle of the prism, because it deadens the blast and makes the paint fly less farther. take a small, 1/4" or smaller strip of tape and wrap it around the base of the prism, to make the hold tighter on ther flaps that have just been taped.whew, you're almost done.....not really
Step 4: Poke two holes in the middle of the prism, no further
apart from each other than 1/4", put it on a creece if you can, but make
sure it's in the middle of the prism.
IV. Putting it all together
The title says it all i guess. just during the whole process make sure
that the wires don't touch an that the paint doesn't leak.
Step 1: Go find your paint/toilet paper, it should be pretty much just some really damp and mushy colored toilet paper by now, if there are still drips coming off of it, then smash some(not all but mostly)of the water out of it. now seperate the toilet paper into halves, take one hlf ane completely tear it up,take the other half and tear it into bigger chunks, now mix it all back together.
Step 2: Take the modified m-80 and put it inside the prism, slip the two wires through the hole, and put some hot glue on either hole, to make it liquid proof, hold it until it drys then let go, the m-80 should not slip out of the holes.
Step 3: Take your gobbledee goop paint and put it into the prism, let it settle for about a minute so that air bubbles can get out. If you make the paint the right consistency you shouldn't have any problems,if you didn't you will have leakage.
Step 4: Follow the same step as step III-3
Doing this right should result in a little rectangular prism, with silver
ends and two wires coming out of it.
V. Detonating your newly made weapon amongst unsuspecting foes.
This is really easy, take your double lead wires and put them on the
two wires coming out of the prism, just twist them together and make sure
you have one leading positive and one leading negative.now take the prism
and place it somewhere where the enemy can't easil see it, but is sure
to come by. now run off trailing the wire to what ever length you cut it
at, and lay in wait. When the enemy comes by monitor how fast they're going,
and try to figure when they will be 3-5 ft. away from the prism(note that
it takes on average 2-3 seconds for the prism to detonate) now whip out
the 9v and push the two wire leads to either end of the 9v. If you have
a good guestimation you will hear a satisfying *pop*, and a round of "what
the hells" and "con flabbits". Now rush in on their flank and sweep and
clear.
Again I must tell you that if you build this thing, you are responsible for any actions that the come from this design. I claim no resposibility. These plans are here for just reference.
