- @X084@X05.@X0822 @X03 IMPACT IGNITION
-
- @X08Impact ignition is an excellent method of ignition for spontaneous
- terrorist activities@X05.@X08 The problem with an impact@X05-@X08detonating device is that it
- must be kept in a very safe container so that it will not explode while being
- transported to the place where it is to be used@X05.@X08 This can be done by having a
- removable impact initiator@X05.@X08
-
- The best and most reliable impact initiator is one that uses factory
- made initiators or primers@X05.@X08 A no@X05.@X08 11 cap for black powder firearms is one such
- primer@X05.@X08 They usually come in boxes of 100@X05,@X08 and cost about $2@X05.@X0850@X05.@X08 To use such
- a cap@X05,@X08 however@X05,@X08 one needs a nipple that it will fit on@X05.@X08 Black powder nipples
- are also available in gun stores@X05.@X08 All that a person has to do is ask for a
- package of nipples and the caps that fit them@X05.@X08 Nipples have a hole that goes
- all the way through them@X05,@X08 and they have a threaded end@X05,@X08 and an end to put the
- cap on@X05.@X08 A cutaway of a nipple is shown below@X05:@X08

- @X08When making using this type of initiator@X05,@X08 a hole must be drilled into
- whatever container is used to make the bomb out of@X05.@X08 The nipple is then screwed
- into the hole so that it fits tightly@X05.@X08 Then@X05,@X08 the cap can be carried and placed
- on the bomb when it is to be thrown@X05.@X08 The cap should be bent a small amount
- before it is placed on the nipple@X05,@X08 to make sure that it stays in place@X05.@X08 The
- only other problem involved with an impact detonating bomb is that it must
- strike a hard surface on the nipple to set it off@X05.@X08 By attaching fins or a small
- parachute on the end of the bomb opposite the primer@X05,@X08 the bomb@X05,@X08 when thrown@X05,@X08
- should strike the ground on the primer@X05,@X08 and explode@X05.@X08 Of course@X05,@X08 a bomb with
- mercury fulminate in each end will go off on impact regardless of which end it
- strikes on@X05,@X08 but mercury fulminate is also likely to go off if the person
- carrying the bomb is bumped hard@X05.@X08
