A few days ago I encountered on the net (<a href="http://www.yarchive.net/explosives" target="_blank">Yarchive</a>)
something called Armstrong's mixture , a sensitive explosive mixture containing KClO3, Antimony trisulfide and P . The mixture is said to detonate rather than deflagrate and is used as an primary explosive .
If you have any experience with this explosive reply this topic.
Thanks

Tut Tut, making a new topic after only a few posts is a no-no I'm afraid. Infact its such a no-no that you get HED. Have a nice day.

Armstrongs mixture is not a high explosive anyway. It's also lethal, but that's another story.
