who has the book "butane lighter hand grenade" if so explain how to make the device or devices in this book!(i have seached and cant find any info on the book)

can you explode a lighter with a magnesium ribbon?

im not sure, but probably yes. another , easier was is to remove the flame guard, remove the flint, and everything else until you are just left with a brass valve and a black adjuster on it. TO USE, just turn the black thing to one direction until you hear a hissing. leave it going and put it upside down, light the hissing gas with a match and STAND BACK. it will either shoot into the air, of EXPLODE WITH LOTS OF FIRE muahahahah!!

whenever i do that the gas runs out before it blows, so i just pour some gas on the lighter and light that untill it melts through.

Seems kind of pointless to use a lighter because they really don't have tht much gas in them. Maybe a butane refil can...

ok but DOES ANYONE HAVE THE BOOK!

yeah but the butane can costs like 3 bux and the place i get my lighters doesnt sell them, and i cant get them anywhere else cuz they dont sell them to people under 18

LAME!

Anyways, I don't own the book, butI do know how it's done. I will try to to a picture procedure, and upload it.

I found this in the improvised muntions black book it's pretty close to what you want:
Cigarette Lighter Hand Grenade

An effective and powerful miniature hand grenade can be made from a Zippo brand cigarette lighter, any homemade explosive and a mini-compound detonator. This explosive device can be used either as a hand grenade or a boobytrap.

Materials
---------

Any powerful homemade explosive, i.e., potassium chlorate/nitrobenzene, ammonium nitrate/nitromethane, etc.

Mini-Compound detonator

Black powder

Zippo cigarette lighter, approx. 2 1/4" length x 1 1/2" Diam., or larger

Copper and brass tubing 9/32" diameter x 12" long

Hacksaw

Small mixing bowl

Epoxy resin


Procedure
---------

1. Obtain a zippo lighter with outer case dimensions of approx. 2 1/4 long x 1 1/2" wide x 1/2" deep. Separate the inner lighter mechanism from the outer casing and remove all the cotton wadding.

2. Remove the cotton ignition wick and convert it into a black powder time fuse by the following steps:

A. Place a couple of tablespoons of black powder into a small mixing bowl and add enough water until it looks like a heavy oil.

B. The cotton wick is placed in the oil-like mixture and stirred for 15 minutes so that it becomes saturated with the black powder mix.

C. The cotton wick is removed and hung to dry for four hours.

D. This mixture fuse was found to have a burning rate of 1.3 seconds per inch.

Note: Be sure and test burning time on a similar wick before using. If a new Zippo lighter is used, it is necessary to use the lighter approx. 25 times before disassembling. This will make the lighter appear used and will blacken the cotton ignition wick which will help disguise the black powder time fuse that will be reinserted.

3. Reinsert the cotton wick fuse through the wick hole and leave enough fuse in the ignition chamber so that it can easily be pulled from the igniter.

Note: Knot the end of the fuse inside the lighter so that it won't pull free later when using.

4. Using a hacksaw, cut a one inch length from a 9/32" diameter piece of copper or brass tubing.

5. Insert this one inch tube over the wick hole and use a 1/8" layer of epoxy resin or other strong glue to seal in place.

6. Insert a mini-compound detonator into the holding tube inside the lighter.

Caution: The mini-compound detonator is a sensitive and extremely powerful detonator and should be handled carefully at all times.

7. Fill the remaining space to within 1/8" of the bottom with any homemade explosive this manual.

Note: The explosive can be loaded in first, and when ready to use, simply insert the detonator. When using potassium chlorate or ammonium nitrate for a base explosive, load the cigarette lighter with either base explosive and insert the detonator. When ready to use, simply pour in the liquid activator of either nitromethane or nitrobenzene.

8. After filling to within 1/8" in. of the bottom with explosive, cut off a 1/8" strip from the original cotton wadding and insert in the bottom of the lighter to complete the disguise.


How to Use
----------

1. To use as a hand grenade, simply pull out a length of fuse and ignite with a separate cigarette lighter or match.

2. To use as a boobytrap, insert the lighter, with a short fuse, into the target area.

ENJOY, the King

ok thanks rat bastard

sorry king but thats not what i was looking for(i all ready saw that posted on another forum)

Why would you waste a zippo lighter on that.
Those things are fuckin expensive. Why not just stick to some old fashion flash powder, or even better, a DIE! AP is always good too and is easier to make than that fuckin thing. Just my thoughts on the matter.

����Indeed. Cratermakers are cheaper, better for throwing, and probably more effective. Obviously not as concealable, but those are the breaks.

Nice Idea Vitamin, but not very cost effective. (unless you have more money than brains; thats just fine.)

Zippos are expensive, and to blow one up seems like a waste.

The Bic one is more cost effective, and convienient.
