The BLUNDERBUSSness Class is by far the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lsem22DkIjw

TL;DR: AXE body spray is super combustable!

[brianpgordon]

I love how he takes great pains to emphasize that it's "reloadable" and "break action" but when he fires it it just explodes.

[treefort]

it's actually sitting right here beside my desk. completely functional. ;)

[tehwebguy]

Wow, it definitely looked like the person holding it would have been maimed.

[treefort]

Yeah... it'd be slightly less than ideal.

[shabble]

Have you considered fashioning some stylish yet concealed body-armour under your outer clothing, possibly using bits of left-over belt and magazines?

Not quite Ned Kelly, but might help a little.

[frzn]

Strap magazines on your body and fasten with belts, like in The Wire when Omar when to jail or did you have something fancier in mind?

[vanderZwan]

So I was wondering, did you ever watch the two Russian "Brat" movies?

[pavel_lishin]

I want to watch both of these, but my Russian language (and more importantly, slang) is so poor that I'm afraid I'd miss a lot of it :/

[treefort]

I didn't, but I'll definitely add them to the queue.

Umm. I'm not the only one wondering where the elemental Lithium came from? Right?

[jlgreco]

I believe some disposable batteries have elemental lithium foil in them (opposed to rechargeable lithium-ion batteries).

[ktsmith]

How do you take the batteries apart without crushing the foil, shorting them, and causing a fire?

[jlgreco]

Carefully. ;)

People cooking up shitty meth apparently do it (http://health.utah.gov/meth/html/ToxicologyofMeth/Lithium.ht...) but I don't know how they do it. They might be using tools that wouldn't be available in an airport, but I'm not so sure of that.

[icelancer]

You can do it with a razor blade and a lot of patience, or as the author shows, using a small pipe cutter that you could easily get into the airport with a carry-on.

[unfasten]

He shows this in the Fragguccino video (http://www.youtube.com/embed/TZ5a4ycwsig): by using a small pipe cutter (on a lithium AA battery). He notes that it can be done without the pipe cutter but would take more time.

[ktsmith]

Thanks - didn't catch that's what he was doing with the pipe cutter.

[opnitro]

This kid sitting next to me in class did it....

[Zakharov]

I think it's the heating element in a thermos; "fraguccino" uses the same technique.

[brianpgordon]

Fraguccino gets the lithium from a battery.

The propellants are butane, isobutane and propane. The same sort of gases you'd use as fuel for a portable gas stove.
