_________ SWAT MAGAZINE ISSUE THIRTY TWO AUGUST 2000 __________ / \___________________________________________/ \ / Cap Bomb Cannon \ / by PyŽo (aka MatriX last text ;) ) \ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:13 20-Aug-00 Hi again..... Remember how i told ya to make those 'cap bombs' last month, well, this time, we will be making a 'Cap bomb cannon'! All this is, is a metal, or plastic tube, about a foot and a half long, with a 'cap bomb' wedged in the end :) Ingredients- ^^^^^^^^^^^ 1x Cap Bomb (you will need to modify it into a shape like a cigar, and use about 6 rolls of caps) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^--Important 1x Metal/Plastic tube (about 1 1/2 feet long, and about 1 inch across) 1x 2 litre bottle cap (or means of plugging the end of the tube) 1x fuse (or means of igniting the cap bomb) 1x ammo (this could be nails, screws, bbs, air gun pellets, small screwdriver, you name it, if it fits, it can be fired :)) Method- ^^^^^^^ Right, first things first, get the modified cap bomb, , and wedge it into one end of the tube. Now take the bottle top, and drill a hole in the top for the fuse. Then put it on the same end as your cap bomb. It probably wont fit exactly, (if its too small forget it, get a bigger lid !) so cut up a bicycle inner tube, or something and just make a seal around the bottle top. Now pull the fuse through the hole, so it looks like this...... ________ _____________ ________ (pipe from outside) _______<<<|888]--- (cross section) Legend--- <<< = ammo 888 = modified cap bomb ] = lid __ __ = pipe | = tissue (to stop screws rattling) OK, that probably made it worse, but what the hell :) mail me if ya got any trouble :) I aint finished yet! when we made it, we placed it on a green box (in a park), faceing at a red volvo, across a busy main road! (i thought this was a bit dangerous, cos it was at head height for passengers in their cars!) first off we lit the fuse and ran about 300 metres away, then it didnt go off, so we poured some white spirit down the end. lit it. nope. nothing. then the plastic started to melt all over some dry grass! Great! fire! so we rushed and got some dead grass/hay and there was a raging fire. Yippee! then we got bored and went back to his (my friends) house, and there we were, reading SWAT on his PC and about 10mins later we heard a 'crack' in the distance.......hmm, what could that be? but we never went back to it just incase someone was decapitated :) OK, it didnt work this time, but ive heard some of his (friend)s stories and the results were pretty kewl, one was full of screws and went thru the rear end of a Peugeot 206! hehe! Have fun making :) and if ya do, send me the results of it! :) ==================== matrix_sas@yahoo.com ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ oh, and would my friend in this story (yes you know who you are ;)) please mail me :) Thanx m8
