The future of warfare is some fat fuck sitting behind a computer screen jerking off to pictures of anime girls as he orders drones to annihilate villages of peaceful sand people thousands of miles away — across the ocean

they're a scary bunch of shit flinging retards alright. read about a bomb tech in North Ireland that triggered a bomb by shining a flashlight on it.

That's just electrical though? Really not much to do with chemfags. Like, it's just a photocell operating as a switch. Literally anybody could do that, you can just buy photocells and wire it up.

Yes, it is. No, wiring a photocell is not chemistry. Hell, there's barely any wiring, there are literally just ready made photocells that perform the desired function (act as an on switch when receiving light).

Gunfags/martialfags get mad when they get outplayed with prep/intellect. They’re anti-cunning. They’re the equivalent of gorillas smacking their chests.

There is a whole class of explosives that are initiated by light. They tend to be thermal and shock insensitive, but you don’t want to be doing any flash photography around them.

yeah, and you're not using any of those for a home made bomb. We're talking about a bomb that is set off with a flashlight, that's definitely something using a photocell as a trigger.

As a former bomb investigator, there’s a much narrower margin of error for being good bomb. I recall one case where the guy restored civil war cannonballs and his ad said “I still have all my fingers and toes”, which he did when the rest of him turned into ground beef in his shop.

To be an explosives wizard you have to play by the risks, like all “magic”. Marie Curie didn’t figure out radiation by not poking at it like an idiot.

Well in this case the guy was warned that the cops were coming and emptied like a canister full of kerosene before GTFOing. Then an hour later the cops tossed a flashbang in.
