The smoking cup of shit was awesome. I wonder how long that would burn for.
That was pretty damn informative. Not going to try any of that, though.
Gee I guess the word "explosive" has really evolved it's meaning since '71
The smoke bomb was pretty nice, I remember trying something similar once (but with sodium nitrate, produces an orange flame instead of reddish). The others were pretty lame though. Why didn't they try the actual explosives?

Probably because they didn't want to take the chance of one of them working and blowing the place up.

Not very long, probably like a minute. I've done it before, and I didn't think it smelled THAT bad
"You fucking morons."
:v:
They tried the napalm thing but didn't leave it burning, so effectively we learned nothing from this. Small rockets go woosh, gasoline burns and stuff smokes for a second.
These were pretty tame, I expected something more, uhh... explosive.

It seems to me like they could've at least attempted the explosives in small scale, because they've done way better and edgier stuff than this in the past. Their documentaries on drug abuse, suicides and illegal border crossing was way more dangerous and edgy than this. They could've made a great point with that too if they actually managed to create a potent device with common household chemicals. But as someone else said, the episode taught us nothing except that gasoline burns, matchsticks go pffcho and blackpowder goes bang.

making explosives out of household chemicals is [i]incredibly[/i] dangerous. looking at the video it seemed like the guys didnt really have the means or the will to take the proper safety precautions necessary to make the explosives.
i mean these chemicals are volatile and they can let off toxic gasses sometimes...you dont really wanna fuck with it unless you have the proper equipment and procedures.

yea the video is sorta lame since it's mostly common sense shit
i still thought the tennis ball thing was cool tho
I've done the smoke bomb with the sugar and potassium nitrate, they put too much potassium nitrate in it. it shouldn't flame up like that
A friend of mine owns the anarchist cookbook, and its got some cool shit in there.
I didn't watch the video but I was wondering which edition they used. It's common knowledge that any edition after the first has the wrong recipes, and even the ones in the first are questionable

It is not exactly hard to get, personally I think that the way a lot of stuff is worded Jolly Rodger comes off more as a angsty teen than an expert

he mentioned that there were later versions that didn't bear much resemblance to the original, so I guess he used the first edition

anarchist cookbook v
it says so in the first 90 seconds of the video
[editline]27th November 2012[/editline]
nevermind first 100 seconds
1:36
ALL RECIPES IN THIS EPISODE ARE FROM THE ELECTRONIC VERSION, "ANARCHIST COOKBOOK V"

I have "The Anarchist Cookbook IV, ver. 4.14" and while I dont know about all of them some of the recipes look correct, or at least as far as I can tell.
I can assure you that the written Thermite formula DOES work.

This is VICE we're talking about.
They have the resources to rent out a field and get the necessary permissions and licenses to do this sort of shit.

I've used the thermite formula from anarchists cookbook to destroy failed hard drives with sensitive data. it works pretty good
I have done the tennis ball with matches trick but with a racquetball instead of a tennis ball and we didnt have ignite anywhere matches so we used regular matches and threw in the strips of striker surface stuff instead of sandpaper. dunno how many match heads we ended up with but it was AWESOME when we threw it. the thing bounced once and then went boom! (but it was mostly silent) and all the match heads flew out of the racquetball which tore into chunks and made a starburst effect in the air about 15 feet up. Fun night.
From my understanding, they fucked up the tennis ball bomb.
When I read it (I might be wrong, got about 10 years of fade), you are supposed to make a TINY hole to load, and use ONLY the white parts of those strike anywheres

Not exactly hard to make thermite though :v: But it really is fucking effective at destroying hdd's.

Making any of the explosives in the Anarchists Cookbook, considering how safe most of them are, is probably not much safer than juggleing nitroglycerin

about half of them outright don't work, most of them are as safe as homemade explosives get
