okay, i have told you all about mine and pspkiller's idea to make a cannon with homemade gunpowder. well in that thread pspkiller told me that salt peter is a restricted substance. is this really true? if it is are there any substitutes to it. i really don't want to ask my chemistry teacher because she'll probably know what were up to and wee'd probably need counseling.
you can make smoke bombs out of salt peter and sugar.


i don't think she'll know what your up to.

i know you can buy it online
but i don't know if it is legal in wales or not,
i don't think it is here in the USA
You can buy Salt Peter in the USA, but I don't know about UK, you can buy it at pool supply stores for winter to keep the water from freezing over and killing the clorine in it. but I am not sure if the UK has any bans on it or any restrictions.
Well, all i know is that i bought some from eBay in the UK a year back, haven't used it yet though.
i was going to get some salt peter and make some epic poo poo from the anarchist cookbook aka i was gonna make a large bmb
caus it said a large on could cover 16 blocks which is quite alot
who are you going to kill?! =o_o=
