Title: the S is Hing TF in my neighborhood. . .
Post by: nico on April 04, 2005, 03:16:55 PM: . . . and I'm blocked in!
About half an hour ago, my girlfriend was leaving my house and on her way out called to tell me that there were 6 cop cars outside one of the side streets in my neighborhood and that she had just passed a bomb squad truck on the way out. A few minutes later my mom went to go pick something up at FedEx and there's a cop blocking the street about 300 yards down my street, which has no other outlet. I'm gonna go find my tinfoil hat and special anti-alien ammo

Post by: nico on April 04, 2005, 04:29:40 PM: I don't have an SKS. Will a 10/22 with buttler and creek mag work? How about if I crawl onto my roof with my scoped bolt rifle and let them know I'll provide cover fire

Post by: Azrael256 on April 05, 2005, 06:27:19 AM: They probably just tore them apart with the water cannon. Or, if the bombs contained black powder, the water would destroy it.

Post by: LynnMassGuy on April 05, 2005, 03:30:27 PM: What's with all the pipe bombs lately. There were 2 found in a cemetary in Beverly MA (the town I work in) a couple of days ago. Pipe bombs are all the rage lately!

Regards
John

They're fairly easy to make using easily obtained materials, and can be as simple or as complex as you care to make them. I used to make small bombs from pyrodex and 1" PVC when I was in my early teens. Big boom, could cause a lot of damage if you were wanting to. Could also make some interesting disfigurement if you aren't careful...
