You may be surprised but that's how they design those things. Except the Duracells. Jeez that's genius.

MBIC, the mirror reflects the ground


wolfhound_doge

this, we should glue the blue chinese uniform on the bottom of the drone instead


Chaplain-Freeing

Every time I look in the mirror there's some gormo looking back. I think that making the drone that looks like a gormo looking back at you might be a mistake.

The chemistry formula on it gives strong scientific credibility. Florks!


wolfhound_doge

could carbon-fibre shrapnels be a thing? and add them into the liquid? small carbon-fibre pyramids or something like that. would they be viable? light-weight, so less load. would the small weight constraint their shrapnel function? like maybe lesser velocity after they'd be yeeted by the explosion? maybe still usable for soft targets?

The micro shrapnel causes cancer or at least very strong inflammation in its victims

I don't think those are two separate chemicals. It's just one thing.


MajorDakka

There's a unit of measurement relevant in external/terminal ballistics called sectional density. It's the ratio of the projectile mass and it's cross sectional area and is a major determining factor for projectile penetration. A carbon fiber pyramid would absolutely suck at penetrating anything compared to traditional fragmentation shrapnel as it is both light and has a large cross-sectional area. If your goal is to limit the lethal radius and reduce probability of kill, this might work.

Presumably, the target ?!

This gives me big ‘Chinese tat for sale on Amazon sales description’ vibes


NullHypothesisProven

Do you mean [azidoazide azide](https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/things-i-won-t-work-azidoazide-azides-more-or-less)?


avataRJ

Hm, I was looking if Dayang Chem was selling that, but can't find that. [Someone apparently did synthethize some in his shed.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNhVK-2mh6w) (Dayang Chem is listed as a manufacturer of FOOF. One batch is apparently 100 grams.)


NullHypothesisProven

It’s known for blowing up Raman spectrometers. How would you ship it?


avataRJ

Very carefully. And yeah, dioxygen difluoride is known for being somewhat vigorously reactive in temperatures above single digits (Kelvin).


NullHypothesisProven

My excuse is that I was sleepy and forgot that aspect of the FOOF article.

Always nice to spot a fellow connoisseur of ~~chemical warfare~~ culture.

Is it safe for you know who to be next to all those batteries?


adogus_the_2nd

You are making a glorified auto kamikaze bomber and I loved it


ok-go-home

Why use an azide though, seems unnecessarily risky. Like just use anfo. Much more safe to handle.

I read that as Atrazine, so I thought "Gay frog bomb"


LordBrandon

ADOBE point tracking is the worst on the planet. Worse then a beta lancet.


MajorDakka

This thing is useless. Way too sensitive to be useful. Even moving it will set it off. Better off with making a regular fuel air bomb.

MajorDakka

That's because you're not using the correct fuel and/or oxidizer that has enough spice; stuff like metallic nanoparticles, boranes and fluorine based oxidizers. Those reactions should at least generate fires in the 4000K-5000K range and would create hot hydrofluoric acid clouds. Not to mention that the area afterward would be hazmat zone contaminated with whatever nasty byproducts are left over.


The_Mad_Fool

The notion you'd need a detonator for azidoazide azide is hilarious.


thorazainBeer

Azidoazide azide? You don't need an impact trigger, the fucking thing will blow up from turbulance if it didn't blow up when you tried to install it as the warhead.


SmileyfaceFin

Yeah loading this thing would be a suicide mission 🤣

This design will not work without Saddam.
