Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
NEVER thought to make an IED out of it.
Turns out it's true....thanks for the warning, Dob!
(a) The victim of the "prank" will likely be some random passer by.
(b) The person pulling the "prank" will not be around to see the results.
This is literally a random act of violence.
Back in my day, as kids, we would get our hands on a crap ton of fire-crackers and bottle-rockets (think of the old Black Cat variety that you can get for a few dollars for a gross of rockets, and bricks of crackers, etc). Then, we take them out to the pasture (my dad had some cattle on the hobby farm)... and you press the firecrackers into fresh cow pies ... sometimes bundling them... set off the fuse and run. It's all about the timing here, folks ... you run ... and turn just in time for the explosion - - BOOM! And it was sort of a contest, selecting the right "bundle" of firecrackers, the orientation, fuse length, the proper moisture content of the inert material ... and see just how high the payload travels ... the dispersion volume... And best of all, you try to set the package and light the fuse just in time so that the blast resulted in one of your friends being hit with shit. Of course there was the mandatory Clean Up Operation, including decontamination in the small plastic kiddie pool in the backyard.
Yup. Those were the good old days when a summer afternoon of blowing up shit was quite literally that. Sigh . . .
fire crackers 20 packs of 100.
Thanks for sharing you brought back a flood of memories.
Certainly a dangerous game to play.
