      According to Adam Savage, hand grenades are extremely difficult to get ahold of. Nigh impossible.

        I wouldn’t trust something like that anyway. Old detonators, old everything, likely sat in a leaky warehouse for 20+ years. Grenades timers are “3-5” seconds. But every half second you cook it your risk probably doubles or triples. Using old stuff stored in unknown conditions? No thanks.

      Mortars are available wherever fireworks are sold. Just a bit of DIY required on the business end.

      You can make black powder at home. That’s what I shoot my old guns with and have reloaded shotgun shells with it. In America you can have 50 pounds.

      2 KNO3 + S + 3 C → K2S + N2 + 3 CO2

      Get pure sulphur, not some garden shit, too much inert ingredients. KNO3 is stump killer. Roll your own carbon (charcoal) in a paint can (tiny hole on top!) in a camp fire. Keep it easy and make it by the kilo, ingredient percentages work out easy. Everyone got a kitchen scale?

      Fake, but effective, napalm is nothing more or less than stuffing styrofoam in a jar (wide mouthed!) with a couple of fingers of unleaded. Quart jar takes (round about) the packing of a standard TV, couple of ounces of fuel. Anyway, once lighted, won’t fucking stop. Great for wet campfires!

      Fuses are basically KNO3 and powdered sugar. Same for model rocket engines! Super easy to look up and fabricate. Probably want to go for “slow burn” fuses.
