I was grinding up some of this in my moter and pestle to make some H3 and this stuff kept cracking and poping and making the occasional loud bang. I was just thinking is it any good for use as a high explosive? I have 5kg of it so I can afford to waste it and I also have/can make HMTD, AP and various other HE's. The reason I ask is because the last time I tryed to detonate this stuff with HMTD it just got spread over the field where I was attempting to detonate it.

Sorry if I seem stupid I'm more of a LE man myself.

Be carefull with the mods, looks likle you didn't searched before you posted!! :mad:

Anyway,
KClO3 has many uses in High Explosives like combinations with Nitrotoluene, Vasaline etc.
Also you could make flashpowder of it, wich i'm not sure if it CAN detonate or not...

Next time, SEARCH! <img src="http://www.roguesci.org/ubb/search.gif" alt=" - " />

I'm offended, I did search and I'm angry you should suggest otherwise. But year(seriously), about the vasaline one. What container and what charge should I use to, detonate?, it.

Wierd. I have grinded it many times with a mortar and pastele and it never started to explode. As far as I know KClO3 is not explosive. Are you sure it was pure?

I don't know who you think you are asking questions of, if you will notice right underneath chem's name it says banned, not only that this was posted 4 years ago.

If you don't have anything TRULY worthwhile to say on a subject like this that has been dead this long do not resurrect an old thread, you aren't Jeses to go about resurrecting whatever you wish!

After reading posts like this I begin to understand why the mods are so tough !
Recently I also got my first warning, by NBK for not using the search engine, it sucked but it was totally necessary I failed to look at the obvious.:(

... Then why is the thread still open? I'm thinking it’s probably because of a change in software.

If unnecessary threads like this can be closed this thing may not happen in the future. I don’t think it’s worth the effort tracking them down and closing them.

If the mods want us to let them know about previously closed threads please tell us.

KMnO4 is banned for necromancy, and this thread re-closed.

If formerly closed threads got re-opened by the change in Vbulletin software, it doesn't matter as long as no one posts in it. And if someone does, and it's pointless, they'll be banned and the thread re-closed, just like this one. :)
