     This one is funny, but it's for real.  Urea nitrate can be used as an
explosive munition.  It is easy to prepare from nitric acid and urine (piss).
It can be detonated with a blasting cap.


MATERIALS AND THEIR SOURCES
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

[1] Nitric acid, 90% concentrated (1.48 specific gravity)
    - Field grade or industrial metal processors

[2] Urine
    - Animals (including humans)

[3] 2 one gallon heat and acid
    resistant containers (glass, clay, etc.)

[4] Filtering material
    - Paper towel or finely textured cotton cloth (shirt, sheet, etc.)

[5] Aluminum powder (optional or if available)
    - Paint stores

[6] Heat source (fire, stove, etc.)

[7] Measuring containers (cup and spoon)

[8] Water

[9] Tape

[10] Blasting cap

[11] Steel pipe and end cap(s)

NOTE:  Prepare mixture just before use


PROCEDURE
=-=-=-=-=

[1] Boil a large quantity of urine (10 cups) to approximately 1/10 its volume
    (1 cup) in one of the containers over the heat source.

[2] Filter the urine into the other container through the filtering material to
    remove impurities.

[3] Slowly add 1/3 cup of nitric acid to the filtered urine, and let mixture
    stand for 1 hour.

CAUTION:  Acid will burn skin and destroy clothing.  If any is spilled wash it
~~~~~~~~  away with a large quantity of water.

[4] Filter mixture as in step 2.  Urea nitrate crystals will collect on the
    paper.

[5] Wash the urea nitrate by pouring water over it.

[6] Remove urea nitrate crystals from the filtering material and allow to dry
    thoroughly (approximately 16 hours).

NOTE:  The drying time can be reduced to two hours if a hot (not boiling) water
~~~~~  bath is used.


HOW TO USE
=-=-=-=-=-

[1] Spoon the urea nitrate crystals into an iron or steel pipe which has an end
    capped on one end.

[2] Insert blasting cap just beneath the surface of the urea nitrate crystals.

[3] Place and light and run.

Note:  This explosive can be made more effective by mixing with aluminum powder
~~~~~  (can be obtained in paint stores) in the ratio of 4 to 1.  For example,
       mix 1 cup of aluminum powder with 4 cups of urea nitrate.  Confining the
       open end of the container will add to the effectiveness of the
       explosive.
