You could get most if not all the chemicals from places like Walmart, Home Depot or Menards.
Keep in mind that since some of the chemicals aren’t sold in the store, you will have to order
them online. Amazon is a good place to look if you don’t want to order directly from a
chemical supplier. Some of the chemicals will be hard to find even on Amazon, but you can
just make them. Below is a list of several recipes for precursors that you can make from
simpler, more accessible ingredients.

NOTE: BOLDED CHEMICALS ARE UNLISTED DUE TO EITHER LACK OF INFORMATION OR THEM
BEING DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUNITIONS, BUT ARE NONE THE LESS EFFECTIVE.
Detonation velocity refers to the speed of the blast wave. Explosives have a trait called
brisance, which is their ability to destroy objects. When an explosion happens, the molecules
in the explosive react extremely quickly and produce large amounts of gas. This gas then
travels outward at a high speed with extreme pressure. This is the blast wave. The faster the
detonation velocity, the more powerful the shockwave will be. The more powerful the
shockwave, the more brisance the explosion will have.

Binary and Ternary Exlosives

There are dozens of mixtures of explosives that can make them more powerful. Sometimes
they’re mixed to increase the volume of the material, or to increase the explosives power. A
binary explosive is an explosive compound that consist of two main ingredients. The most
commonly used explosive for binaries is ammonium nitrate. The reason for this is because
ammonium nitrate is a strong oxidizer, along with being a high explosive. Despite it being a
high explosive however, it’s not very powerful compared to other things like TNT or RDX. You
can take advantage of it’s oxidizing properties and mix it with fuels to make it more powerful.
For example, mixing ammonium nitrate with aluminum powder creates an explosive known as
Ammonal. Mixing it with fuel-oil makes ANFO. Explosives mixtures don’t stop there though.
Ternary explosives use three ingredients, the most overlooked one being black powder.
Potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur are the three ingredients. For high explosives, ANNMAL
is the winner. There are several different ratios of ANNMAL, some supposedly being more
powerful than C4. Something you should definitely know about binary and ternary explosives
that contain ammonium nitrate is that they cannot be detonated with a blasting cap. To
achieve maximum performance, they need a booster charge. (TNT, RDX, ETN, etc)

High Explosives vs Low Explosives

There are two types of explosives; low explosives and high explosives. Low explosives are
mixtures of fuels and oxidizers. For example, flash powder is a mix of metal fuel, such as
aluminum powder and oxidizer, such as potassium permanganate. The fuel is aluminum and
the oxidizer is potassium permanganate. Low explosives are also generally more unsafe. They
are usually flame sensitive, but some are also shock, friction and even sensitive to static
electricity. High explosives are not mixtures, but are bonded on the molecular level, allowing
them to react much faster. This is what makes high explosives much more powerful than low
explosives. High explosives also do not need confinement to be destructive. High explosives
are also generally safer than low explosives because their molecular bonds make them more
stable. You can light TNT on fire and be ok. It'll burn, but it won't detonate.

Chapter 4: Bomb Design
Blasting Cap Anatomy
Blasting caps are used to detonate high explosives. A blasting cap has 3 parts. The igniter,
primary explosive and secondary explosive. The igniter is used to initiate the primary
explosive. Fuse or electricity can be used as the igniter. The primary explosive is usually a
sensitive explosive, such as lead azide or mercury fulminate. These explosives can be easily
ignited by flame or electricity. The secondary explosive is the main charge of the blasting
cap. TNT, PETN and RDX are the most common secondary explosives. I would recommend
using TATP for blasting caps. It's sensitive, but also very powerful.

The Science of Building Pressure

Pressure is key when using low explosives. Since they don’t react as fast as high explosives,
you have to compress them to hold in the gases for longer, which then makes them more
powerful. Black powder must be compressed in a tube with the ends sealed off with hot glue
or concrete. This is enough for the reaction to become violent. This happens because when
low explosives burn, they let off a small amount of hot, expanding gasses. By keeping the hot
expanding gasses confined by confining the explosive, the gasses will make the explosive
react a lot faster, which makes more hot expanding gas, which makes the explosive react
even faster. This is known as a runaway reaction. This goes until the container can no longer
hold the gas and bursts open with a violent boom. Stronger low explosives, like flash powder,
burn a lot faster and don't need as much confinement. If you have a large amount of low
explosive, it becomes self confining. This means that it can have brisance in open air simply
due to how much explosive there is. The stronger the explosive, the less amount needed to be
self confining. This is why you don't need to compress high explosives to make a big bang.
They react a lot faster and are therefore self confining in very small amounts.

Detonation Methods
