    Ammonium Nitrate can be brought easily. Trademe has it. Auction number 1161716308.

    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.
    Buy that stuff online and you WILL end up on a watchlist.

    All of it or just some of it, I've been using aluminium powder as a filler in epoxy for reshaping some ports in a 2 stroke and bedding a rifle.....

    I know a guy whose online activities were being watched closely, triggered by the fact that he bought a small quantity of Potassium Nitrate on Trademe. His motives were legit, and nothing came of it. From memory those auctions were being watched because it COULD be used for making meth or something.

    Just look at what Timothy McVeigh did with "some fertiliser".

    No. This is NZ, not America.

    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!

    Years ago a Firefighter told me the largest industrial explosion was in a custard powder factory.
