FIREBOMBS
|
|
|
|
Most fire bombs are simply gasoline filled bottles with a fuel soaked
|
|
rag in the bottle's mouth. The original Molotov cocktail, and still about the
|
|
best, was a mixture of one part gasoline and one part motor oil. The oil helps
|
|
it to cling to what it splatters on.

NAPALM
|
|
|
|
About the best fire bomb is napalm. It has a thick consistency, like
|
|
jam and is best for use on vehicles or buildings.
|
|
|
|
Napalm is simply one part gasoline and one part soap. The soap is
|
|
either soap flakes or shredded bar soap. Detergents won't do.
|
|
|
|
The gasoline must be heated in order for the soap to melt. The usual
|
|
way is with a double boiler where the top part has at least a two-quart
|
|
capacity. The water in the bottom part is brought to a boil and the double
|
|
boiler is taken from the stove and carried to where there is no flame.
|
|
|
|
Then one part, by volume, of gasoline is put in the top part and
|
|
allowed to heat as much as it will and the soap is added and the mess is
|
|
stirred until it thickens. A better way to heat gasoline is to fill a bath
|
|
tub with water as hot as you can get it. It will hold its heat longer and
|
|
permit a much larger container than will the double boiler.

MATCH HEAD BOMB
|
|
|
|
Simple safety match heads in a pipe, capped at both ends, make a
|
|
devastating bomb. It is set off with a regular fuse.
|
|
|
|
A plastic Baggie is put into the pipe before the heads go in to prevent
|
|
detonation by contact with the metal.

FUSE IGNITION FIRE BOMB
|
|
|
|
A four strand home made fuse is used for this. It burns like fury. It
|
|
is held down and concealed by a strip of bent tin cut from a can. The
|
|
exposed end of the fuse is dipped into the flare igniter. To use this one,
|
|
you light the fuse and hold the fire bomb until the fuse has burned out of
|
|
sight under the tin. Then throw it and when it breaks, the burning fuse will
|
|
ignite the contents. |
