Model Forum / General / Rockets / January 2006

1- For clarification, the bulletin I viewed did not specify "raw AP"
however it did not clearly id the substances found as APCP either.
References to "salvaged rocket fuel" would seem to suggest APCP or
similar that has been broken up (in the pictures that I've seen, the
stuff has the general appearance and texture of crushed gravel).
Perhaps it is raw AP or maybe it is APCP, but this is irrelevent to the
point I was trying to make about our regulating bodies, as they really
don't care if it is raw or mixed.

2- I made no claims either way about listings or relative level of
danger posed by either, only that the managers (read politicians) of
agencies who are seeking to make life tough for rocketry see that
"Ammonium Perchlorate", regardless of form, mixture, or compound, is
being used by terrorists to blow up our troops, therefore they think it
should be heavily regulated on this side of the pond as well.  It is an
easy link for them to make and sell to the lawmakers, even though it is
wrong.

Where do you get unexploded cluster bombs from?  The easiest way to
fight a rebel war is to use what you have or can easily obtain.  They
already have thousands of Soviet artillery shells hidden away in every
nook and cranny leftover from years of warfare.  They even come
pre-packaged in a nice shrapnel producing metal case.  It seems that
there are plenty of projectiles, but very few of the fuses that screw
into the tip to activate the charge on impact, nor very many 155mm
artillery pieces lying around that they can covertly use to fire the
rounds at the good people without drawing down the wrath of God upon
them (lead by the US Army and Marine Corps).  So, you grab a car (lots
of them around and they blend into the environment quite well), lay a
half dozen of these artillery projectiles on the floor boards and in
the trunk, lace them together with some det cord hooked to a standard
construction blasting cap smuggled in from Syria or stolen from a local
contruction site (the whole country is under construction) and bury the
whole mess in this crumbled up Scud rocket fuel (they have plenty of
that kind of stuff hidden away also).  Lay a piece of carpet over the
top of anything in plain site to disguise your operation right up to
the last second.  Your trigger is nothing more complicated than a
headlight switch wired off the car battery as a "safety" for your
deadman switch (a normally closed push button switch that is depressed
prior to arming the system, when this switch is released the blasting
cap gets a direct connect to the car battery, this is why simply
shooting the bomber as they crash into your facility doesn't help since
the bomb is activated by the cowardly bastard releasing the button as
they die) and if you are really fancy, you can put in a small lamp to
test the circuit prior to connecting it to the blasting cap with a
common 2-conductor plug in automotive wiring connector.  It's a cheap
and dirty way to indiscriminantly murder people.
