There is some information that’s very important to know such as instructions for making gunpowder using household products:
The best chemistry experiments are those you can perform with items already laying around your house. With only some sugar, salt substitute and an instant cold pack, you can make your very own gunpowder! Being able to make homemade gunpowder without a trip to the store can be a lifesaver, no matter if it’s just for testing out a Civil War-era musket, blowing up stubborn tree stumps, or preparing for battle when imperialists overrun your country.
Materials
- Instant cold pack
- Salt substitute
- Water
- Glass jars
- Coffee filters
- Scale that can measure grams
- Stove or hotplate
Obviously this isn’t going to make high quality smokeless powder, or anything that can likely be reliably fired out of a modern rifle, but it’s a start. Knowledge like this and the ability to manufacture firearm parts at home is making the desires of gun control advocates more and more impossible.
A tip of the old hat goes to Uncle for this information.
