Books to make all that have been in the library for ages, it's just that the internet makes it easier to find without having to leave the basement.

its used as a base for miltary grade explosives. it boosts the power of tnt. you mix it with tnt and wax, and you get compound b; you mix it with tnt and aluminum, you get torpex; etc.

Never, ever, EVER trust anything on the internet dealing with mixing chemicals of any sort, unless it comes from a .edu

ESPECIALLY wikipedia. ANYONE can edit that to change it to kill you.

Troops have also become intoxicated during field operations from exposure to composition C4 plastic explosive, which contains 91% RDX. These field exposures occurred because C4 was either chewed :confused: as an intoxicant or used as a fuel for cooking. Thus, the route of exposure was ingestion or inhalation. At least 40 American soldiers experienced convulsions due to RDX ingestion during the Vietnam War.

All you need in order to make an almost-working nuke at home is some common chemicals, some metal, a machine shop, and the internet. Add some plutonium and you're set to go.

You want highly enriched Uranium. Plutonium weapons will require an initiator that makes things much more complicated.
