"its one thing to swing on by a hobby store and pick up a JATO rocket. its quite another to put together your own fuel combo without blowing your face off in the process. how would you go about doing it Mr Boyer?"

"As i said before, I would use a solid/ gel fuel. Probably either Black powder or gelled Alcohol and either a clay or steel nozzle. If 13th century Chinese could do it, I'm sure I could manage a workable design.

Now, would I shoulder Fire this? hell no, my ass would be standing way back with a wall between me and it."

"13th century Chinese had the threat of death hanging over them for *not* doing it. So it came down to Maybe Die Doing or Definitly Die Not Doing.

Seems to me with your head you could do better than a rocket. "

"That's what IEDs are for :P"

"Copper cone penetrators can't reach their maximum effectiveness in IEDs, the standoff distance of detonation has to be just right, otherwise they don't penetrate effectively. That's why the Troops in the middle east started using cage armor to combat rpg attacks, the premature detonation prevents the molten copper from penetrating the armor."
