- Miscellaneous nasties from the book the poor man's james bond
- by kurt saxon typed by the penguin
-
- firebombs: most fire bombs are simply gasoline filled bottles with a fuel
- soaked rag in the mouth (the bottle's mouth, not yours). The original molotov
- cocktail, and still about the best, was a mixture of one part gasoline and one
- part motor oil. The oil helps it to climb to what it splatters on. Some use
- one
- part roofing tar and one part gas. Fire bombs have been found which were made
- by pouring melted wax into gas.
-
- Napalm: about the best fire bomb is napalm. It has a thick consistancy, like
- jam and is best for use on vehicnes or buildings. Napalms are simply one part
- gas and one part soap. The soap is either soap flakes or shredded bar soap.
- Detergents are out. The gas must be heated in order for the soap to melt. The
- usual way is with a double boiler where the top part has at least a two quart
- capacity. The water in the bottom part is brought to from the stove and
- carried
- to where there is no flame.Then one part, by volume, of gas is put in the top
- part and a llowed to heat as much as it will and the soap is added and the
- mess
- is stirred until it thickens. A better way to heat gas is to fill a bathtub
- with water as hot as you can get it. It will hold its heat longer and permit a
- much larger container than will the double boiler.
-
- Match head bomb: simple safety match heads in a pipe, capped at both ends,
- make
- a devestating bomb. It is set off with a regular fuse. A plastic baggie is put
- into the pipe before the heads go in to prevent detonation by contact with the
- metal. Cutting enough match heads to fill the pipe can be tedious work for one
- but an evening's fun for the family if you can drag them away from the tv.
-
- Fuse ignition fire bomb: a four strand homemade fuse is used for this. It
- burns like fury. It is held down and concealed by a strip of bent tin cut
- from a can. The exposed end of the fuse is dipped into the flare igniter.
-
- Hold the fire bomb until the fuse has burned out of sight under the tin. Then
- throw it and when it breaks the burning fuse will ignite the contents.
