    You have no idea just how nasty...



    Now think about having one of them spaced every few dozen metres....
    If it moves, shoot it, if not push it, if it still doesn't move, use explosives.

        The key to this working is having TIGHT rolls. Unfortunately used wire can't be rolled back up tightly enough by hand and the resulting air gaps are too large to get the best effect. New rolls are definitely best.
        Yes, that really is a LOT of shrapnel!

          I haven't seen them in some years, but I believe soap flakes are still available; urban legend says that soap flakes in a Molotov Cocktail stick to the skin to make a basic form of napalm.
          Of course, in T2k, a Molotov Cocktail is a difficult thing to find anyway...

            In its simpliest form, the Molotov is nothing more than a glass bottle, 2/3 filled with gasoline and with a strip of bicycle inner tube stuffed inside and then capped and a gas-soaked rag wrapped around and lit.

            The inner tube starts to break down inside the gas and helps the gas to stick in place.

            Cup of Tide works just as well.

                Gasoline and polyurethane (the petroleum dissolves the plastic) mixed together makes a great home made napalm. Don't know if it would gum up a flamethrower, but it's DAMN sticky!

                  Gasoline and dish soap make a pretty sticky concoction too. Take an ammo can, fill it with the gasoline and dish soap concoction, close it up, put a thermite grenade on top -- it's called a Ranger Cocktail. Though you can use anything to thicken the gasoline, even body wastes.

                    Only downside to dish soap is that it isn't always available, at least in the field, on the other hand, it is always possible to get bars of GI soap, a couple of sharp knives, a couple of Privates with time on their hands.......you can get all the soap flakes you need.

                      I still like the idea of melting some farmers irrigation pipes in a drum of fuel. :P
                      One soldier comes along with a stick every so often to give it a stir. Hope they're not a smoker....

                        Another thing they taught us for thickening a Ranger Cocktail is MRE food -- apparently the binders they use in the food are pretty effective in such a case.

                            And I haven't even started talking about improvised fuses and detonators, let alone the lovely fun that is booby traps!

                              I'll bet they already know who we are and have checked this board out.

                                Reason number one why I am not adding all the fun ways to cause mayhem and destruction. I'm already on the list - why give reason to move up it
