Heavy Weaponry
Aug 21 2010, 1:45 AM EDT
The problems with the weapons other than getting them and the price is a couple of things. 1) collateral damage - just because you may or may not hit what you are aiming for other things can and will get blown up with the zombies. Say for instance you accidentally hit your perimeter wall now allowing more zombies to get in or when the fight is all said and done you now have to get some or your precious supplies and rebuild said wall. And possibly the more important problem..2) There is a kill and casualty radius with these weapons. As with all explosives it is not pin point accuracy with these. They are designed and made to cause a lot of damage. So having said that there is a very good possibility that you could either injure yourself or another one of the people with you. I am active duty and actually an EOD tech so if you really want to know I can get the kill and casualty radius if you want to know but your best bet is to stay away from explosives unless you have prior experience and just stick to your basic guns.

Hello and welcome to the website. Please take the time to fill out your profile and add a unique avatar, it makes it much easier to establish your identity on the forums.For the most part I think that we shy away from the suggestion of explosives on this website. Incendiarys come up far more often, but there is the periodic suggestion of explosives., generally of the IED type. I'm sure there will be a point that your expertise will come in handy. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

As soon as I get back home I plan on updating my profile but for right now I'm only on a small lap top that I take back and forth from home to work. I live in North Las Vegas but I am stationed in Twentynine Palms, CA. If there any questions regarding explosives or IED's I will be more than happy to give advice. Keep in mind that there are some things that I cannot of course tell like how to make the explosives. Do not.. and I will repeat Do not try some of the recipes that come from questionable sources. They do leave some steps out on purpose and sometimes those steps will get you killed if you try and repeat. Do you find this valuable? |

I'm sure he's all about making his own explosives from those books isn't he. He's only asking for trouble.. Either from the law or hurting himself. The guy who teaches us how to do it is missing three of his fingers from a mishap and he has his phd is chemistry and that's all he does is teach us how to make the stuff and one little accident happened and he said bye-bye to half his thumb, index finger, and middle finger on his left hand.

Many have attempted to tell him how dangerous and unpredictable improvised explosives or "home made" bombs can be to EVERYONE including the bomb maker. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I saw where he was talking about rockets and him making his own explosives and I commented about it. Hopefully he reads it and hopefully nothing bad happens with his "experiments".

I would like to point out that, I make my own explosives from time to time, but when I do, I don't bring anyone to watch, I wear protective gear (Including goggles yes) and I detonate from a safe distance, as long as you take safety precautions like these you can extremely lessen the chance of a fatal injury or death.

Am I the only one seeing the irony of a brand new user offering advice and then advising others to not take recipes from questionable sources?Wouldn't the same rule apply to advice? 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

In the current climate of America I would never make anything resembling a explosive device. GITMO does not sound like fun. I'm not saying i don't trust Big brother, but...... i don't trust Big Brother.

"Am I the only one seeing the irony of a brand new user offering advice and then advising others to not take recipes from questionable sources?The reason why I'm able to offer advice on the subject is because I am an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician for the Marine Corps. I have been to several schools in which I learn and actually make my own explosives. I have the CORRECT recipes on how to make said explosives and have responded to places where people have attempted to make their own explosives and have falled. Just because I am a new user doesn't mean that I don't know anything. You yourself were a new user at one point in time and I'm sure if people were discussing something that would make you the "subject matter expert" or close to wouldn't you chime up and let people know the dangers in doing something wrong? Further more, I am also at a station where before any Marine EOD team deploys comes to my base and I make the IED's that they train with that we are seeing in country at the present moment in time. The only difference in the IED's that I make and the real ones is that my training IED's only have buzzers on them to simulate an explosion going off but they would definitely work if attached to a real explosive. You can google it and find out that your basic blasting cap takes only .5V to explode... That type of voltage is extremely easy to achieve. Not to be rude but it felt as though you were attacking me and my advice that I was offering to make sure people stayed safe... Is there any other comments about the advice that I am giving and if so what is your experience with explosives? 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

...Ask Alex if someone can randomly show up and be instantly believed about his abilities.You can have a lot of info and knowhow...but you have at this moment little credibility because you just showed up. Would you put your safety into the hands of a complete stranger? Of course not. At this moment you are in the same boat as the random anarchist cookbookers. Lots of info and little else.

"As soon as I get back home I plan on updating my profile but for right now I'm only on a small lap top that I take back and forth from home to work. I live in North Las Vegas but I am stationed in Twentynine Palms, CA.Welcome ZStalker! Good to see an EOD Tech here. All: I would follow his advice. Do *NOT* make explosives unless you Know How. If I (and others) can't talk sense into you, I'm hoping ZStalker can. @ZStalker- That ".5V to explode" you mentioned... the human body, unless difused (Is that the word? or is it Grounded?) can make this.

So what you're telling me is that because you have been a member since Jan of 2009 that you're advice is more credible than mine. And I am telling people NOT to mess with explosives unless they have prior experience not giving advice on how to mess with explosives. So in other words I'm trying to tell people to be more safe.I am 31 and have been in the Marine Corps for 13 yrs. I have an fair amount of good advice to give. I will not give advice that puts other peoples safety at risk but if my advice is not credible just because of the amount of time that I have been a member of this sight than you are incredibly close minded. You do not have read my advice nor heed it. You and everybody else on this sight is going to do what they want to do anyway. I am just trying to help and make sure people have all the information and can stay safe. Do you find this valuable? |

Yes, given the right circumstances the human body can set it off. That's why before we (EOD) grab wires leading to say an electric blasting cap ground ourselves by touching bare skin to the ground as to "equalize potential".

"i would i trust him"Thank you peters007. Just as I would trust a mechanic if they told me how to fix my car... I would trust someone who works with explosives EVERYDAY that they would not steer me in the wrong direction. Do you find this valuable? |

Once you upload some pics of yourself doing some of these things or not even that just proof of your service, I'll believe you, but for now for all I know you could be some 14 year old pretending to be something your not. Don't take offense from my post please, as this is how I am with most people.
