    I would be really surprised if this stuff can be exported out of the US now, especially in light of it now being used in the Manhattan bombings. Kinda makes you realise it is not a toy.

    Your allowed to make your own Black Powder.

    Black Powder is an explosive.

    Also allowed to have bought gunpowder too. Humble flour can even turn explosive in the right/wrong conditions.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Black powder is an explosive, but a deflagatory low explosive. Tannerite is a binary tertiary high explosive (think I got that right). I have no clue what the rules are, but there's probably a line in the sand somewhere between the two

    Not Port Texas? Think that dropped a town. They were mixing a something into AN to make it flow or something, and a bad baaad baaaaad chain of events led to the largest manmade explosion of all time

    Aluminium powder is often on Trademe too. Or just buy it from a paint supplier.

    STMPRO.co.nz in Wellington has it as well. They sell special effects stuff.

    The only ingrediant requiring a 'ticket' is the gun and ammo to set it off.
