because that would be a bomb, and likely to draw unwanted attention. a squib on the other hand is about the punch of a firecracker... in fact they're often homemade USING firecrackers.

So that's not just a smaller bomb?

I'm confident you know I wasn't seriously advocating that you build a device to cause anyone harm.

NOW you're talking! Although these wouldn't be IEDs, right?

Squibs are a success... Video later when I have a cameraman.

Lighter for scale. Total cost: approx 30 cents.

wrap that in a plastic baggie and tape it for waterproofing, set that inside of a baggie of ink, and you'll get a very nice spray.

Problem at the moment is it's omnidirectional... trying to figure out a good way to focus the force so it only shoots "out" and doesn't just use all of it's energy to coat the purse. as a side note i got to scare the shit out of my neighbor with the first prototype, it was about 10x bigger than that one.

Sort of, it depends on your classification of "bomb"... it's a relatively loose term, and technically intentionally shaking up someones beer could qualify.

these have just about enough force to take of a finger if held in a closed fist, or burn you pretty nasty if held in an open hand. they don't have inherent destructive power, and have to be compressed further (by the closed fist) to do explosive damage.

generally that falls into the range of firecracker. which technically is a bomb... but seen as a much lower class suitable for recreation.

going to go demo these later at charlie harper's for a few of the expats i've discussed the idea with.

What could possibly go wrong. I always get concerned when I hear Americans talking about vigilantism.

A plastic cone of some sort?

Actually thinking the bottom of a coke can.

Use the whole can, and seal the pull ring with wax. Boom.

One of those thin energy drink cans!

Video with a bag of water, still not very directional. Add in a backing for force it all 1 direction and this will be a perfect spray:
