Warning about Discarded Bottles....Possible Bomb


Recommended Posts

Just so you know - this is again making the rounds. This warning has been around in one form or another since 2009 - and yes, they work.  Here is an '

instructable"  on how to make them from back in 2006.  http://www.instructables.com/id/FlashWorksDrano-Bomb-I-think-that-covers-it/

 

 However, in most cases they don't make a very good booby trap. In almost all cases, the chemical reaction starts right away and builds up pressure to explode the bottle in a minute or two.  Doesn't really need any shaking.  If you have any question that a plastic bottle you found, shoot it with pellet gun - bow and arrow -= blow dart - pitchfork - whatever. Anything that can break the plastic bottle will release the pressure and "defuse" the bomb.   

 

They do work - I've made them -  along with dry ice bombs - MRE Heaters work real well!  Powerade or GatorAde bottles are the bottles of preference because they are made of stronger plastic and it takes more pressure for them to explode.  Just saying....We have use them in the field as training aids for Improvise Explosive Device training.  We make one, then cover it with a plastic bag of flour.  Makes a pretty impressive white cloud to signal an "attack"
