CSI Screw's us

No, you did not watch the program (or perhaps you did not pay attention). It was a pipe bomb and was held to the external surface of the gas tank by magnets.

Depending on how they mixed the ingredients inside the pipe (they listed AP, aluminum powder and some form of polybutadiene), it could have been made to explode and rupture the tank. It was NOT APCP. It was a bomb. Just like the BP in Estes motors is safe as manufactured and sold, APCP is safe as manufactured and sold.

The horrible depiction of Polygamy is more of a reason to protest!

I think the dog was named "Muffet", not Moffet. Not sure though - Starlord?

The original BSG movie (pilot, whatever) was o.k., some of the shows were pretty good too. I think the script writing just got caught up in that typical, late-70's "Big 3" network lameness that infected all of Hollywood in that era. Remember, this was the era of "Love Boat", "Fantasy Island", "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century", and hosts of other awful shows.

In comparison, BSG was pretty decent - for that era.

Unfortunately, they got "cutesy", which is what ruined it for me.

But hey, I liked Lost In Space (the series), so what do I know?

Ever heard of a killfile? No need for you to be annoyed by facts unnecessarily, even when they are reposted on every newbie posting the same questions or every troll posting the same false conclusions or claims.

Hold a 29mm G45-FS and it approximates it.

The polybutadiene would have desensitized it and PREVENTED it from exploding.

The proper formula for flash is 50/50 AP (or KP or sodium chlorate) and alum by volume. Be sure to leave a substantial air cavity in the pipe to facilitate better popping force, about 30-50%. Use only for sporting or recreational purposes of course.

Sounds like something the BORG would do :)

What was used was Amonia Perchlorate not APCP. I could see a a problem if the person was grinding up reloadable fuel grains. But that was not the case. It was also mixed with other chemicals to make it unstable. You can accomplish that with many household chemicals including bleach and amonia also with many fertilizers. It means nothing. Don't sweat it, the damage has already been done.

The show is still a good show.

It was a Daggett.

There is a dirt strip there where many C-17s have landed and taken off.

The old BSG must be expunged!

Been there, done that. Don't bother going there if you haven't already. The BORG wasted their energy when they ascimilated that place :)

It helps that the media is not so pro authority and police. The media used to be the nemesis of the police.

AP = ammonium perchlorate = oxidizer component of APCP APCP = ammonium perchlorate composite propellant. AP ~= APCP.

Except there were no rockets in the plot. The AP came from a kid's science project volcano.

The alumuminum and polybutadiene was in the volcano. I don't recall any evidence that it was in the pipe bomb.
