Convert matches and sticky labels into an arsenal of "impact sensitive" stickers, that can be used as exploding targets for BB gun practice, or smacked with hammers and rocks on the sidewalk, to make ear-piercing bangs in the back yard.

Project History & More Info:

While I was working on different prototypes for that exploding blowgun ammo, I got wondering about the cap-gun caps themselves, and how they exploded on impact.

I spent a considerable amount of time on the internet researching, and trying to figure out what the composition of cap gun caps were. I was very curious to learn what composition could be stable enough to sit undisturbed, indefinitely, but explode suddenly and powerfully when hit with enough force.

Armstrong's Mixture is highly volatile and extremely dangerous compound in large quantities, and has been known to explode just by stirring it too aggressively. However in small batches like cap-gun caps, it's exciting, and relatively harmless.

I found a few websites, PDF's and online studies suggesting different ways to make improvised versions of the mixture using safety matches. This method doesn't create a pure composition though, and there really isn't any way to measure exact amounts. But in experimenting, I did figure out an easy way to make it work consistently, every time.

At this point I have a fair amount of experience with Armstrong's Mixture, and some things you need to know about it are this;

- Treat it like it could explode spontaneously at any moment, and make sure you have safety precautions in place. This way if it does, you'll be prepared for it.

- Stick to very small batches, and treat it with caution and respect. Don't use more than 1 match-head. 2 at the most! This makes enough powder for 10 Thunder Caps, which are about 5-10 times more powerful than regular cap-gun caps in-and-of themselves. And while the powder from only 2 matches might not seem like much ... trust me, you DON'T want it going off all at once.

- If you mix it up too aggressively, it can go off unexpectedly, and can be extremely loud, leaving your ears ringing. It can also be set off with friction, impact, heat, and electrical sparks. Wear ear-plugs and safety glasses at all times.

Saying all that, I've never actually had the composition go off unexpectedly, so long as I was being extremely gentle with it.

I usually keep each movement as light as a feather and typically mix it with wooden sticks, razor blades, and anything else that is convenient and expendable, so far with 100% success. It's important to note that I always expect it to go off at any time, and am prepared in case it does.

Attempts to get the mixture to go off while stirring aggressively were hit or miss. Most of the time nothing happened. However, every now and again, it would explode when it was least expected.

I believe the “Thunder Caps” project to be a safe and enjoyable experience, so long as it's experimented with in very small quantities.

However if you try this yourself, remember that any actions and reactions you produce are at your own risk, and you are responsible for the consequences.

I love knowing his children will always be able to see their dad and still learn from him daily. I lost my mom at 6 months old and I have 1 vhs tape where she’s on it holding me for maybe 2-3 min and that’s it. Now a days having videos and photos as a daily thing means that all those lives lost will live on throughly through their memories taken with cameras.
