Is it normal since i was a child ive made explosives

It started as a young child using gun powder from fireworks to create bigger fire crackers. Until eventually I experimented with straight gun powder in a water bottle. Then molotov cocktails and even a few pipebombs. I alwatys wanted to experiment with a remote control detonator.

I dont want to ever use my explosions for illegal or bad reasons but I just love to blow shit up.

      I second that... I know an American dude that lives about 10 minutes away from me. Whenever he invites me, a little target practice is always a part of the day. He has a big lawn and has 2 targets set up.
      A very rare site in Germany, I'll tell you that...

          • The most important part of the 2nd amendment is "To protect against anyone INCLUDING THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT". The 2nd amendment wasn't for duck hunting. It was to keep power to the American people. And to protect us from the government. That's why I believe American citizens should be allowed to own any guns the military does.

    Cool. I synthesized nitroglycerin, triacetone peroxide in the past.

    Long ago, as a twelve year old kid, I loved manufacturing my own explosives. Without permission, I read my Dad's chemical engineering college textbooks to learn how explosive factories are designed. Of course, this knowledge enabled me to make my own explosives, which I did in a safety conscious manner. I had great fun detonating them in pits that I dug to prevent collateral damage from the blast. Soon, I was designing delayed detonators, and thinking about paramilitary technology.

    When you are a gifted sixth grade student, like I was, you must think-outside-the-box to keep life interesting. Paramilitary technology lead me to start reading sniper manuals a year later. In retrospect, I became a missile expert largely due to my success as a child prodigy bomb and explosives hobbyist.

  • Sounds fun and cool, but I'm lowkey pissed off by this, I'll admit. Why? Because you could hurt someone else or an animal if you blow that shit up.

    Man I have an obsession with cannons like civil war era cannons. During the fourth of July we would just use 1/4 black powder blanks and it would shake every house for a half mile.

    Fun fact! In the United States its completely legal to own a cannon. You just cant make explosive shells... damn feds.

    • I wonder if it's illegal to make explosives. I live out in the country so I've never had to worry about it.

        If you didnt manufacture them for the explicit purpose of mass killing than you should be fine. A weapon of mass destruction would be a normal bomb with shrapnel inside. You can manufacture thermite thats cool too.
