Did you ever use it with a percussion BC and fuse? I always thought that those fuse cords were a bit short for getting the hell out of the danger area, just never ever never run and fall down, walk at a nice careful pace.

Nope, but that would be awesome with some trip wire, right there.     I've daisy-chained 18 of them together with det cord - 12 across the range, the made the turn for 6 more up the range.  There was alot more daisy-chained into that particular charge, and it was a HOOT!!!

 I think you'd get along with Colin, he's a little off but some mad skills.

That would be a blast...   HAHA! See what I did there... 

That charge with those 18 Claymores...  Started off with 1000ft of MDI as the primary ignition into one Bangalore tied to two connected Bangalores tied to three Bangalores.  The 1000ft roll of det cord that tied them together - the excess whole role was left to the side, so that thing was another charge all by itself.  These were chained to the 18 claymores, chained to 40 x 1 1/4lb blocks of C4, chained to 20 x 1 1/4lb blocks of C4, and that roll of det cord was set off to the side.  There were yellow smoke cannisters that we wrapped in the det cord, along it's way to the roll.  There was so much shiit in that pile, all tied together and layed out in a fancy pattern...   I think the calculated Net Explosive Weight was something like 106lbs.  The range was limited to 11lbs NEW, so we had to get that gone quick - like in one shot...  

What I've just described is small potatoes, compared to some of the charges that @Matt.Cross has set off.  I'm not kidding...

Best part is doing it on Uncle Sam's dime 

Friend's dad was a logger up here, was running a boom boat( used to move/round up logs in the water) the various booms and logs were collected up in a large bay and the town built around this bay.

Storms or even wind/tide conditions sometimes  caused big log jams, the technique used was sticks of dynamite to break apart . One of the operators would go to the shack and sign for the dynamite used. There were three operators that alway ordered an extra stick which they then stashed( need two sign out three) After one big storm the boys decided that they were going t use the stashed dynamite.

 Well there was a mighty bang and pretty much every window in town facing the bay was shattered. During the inquiry the engineers couldn't figure out how that much damage occured based on the amount of dynamite signed out.

That's the Demolition Rule, right there...   Calculate exactly what you need to do the job.  Then add one more.

When I was an Explosives Auditor at Halliburton we did junk explosives disposal for the logging and perforating division for most of North America and in one time working with the Ector County Sheriff's bomb Squad we disposed of 2700 pounds of junk perforating,charges,  primacord and shaped charges, calculated to be 450 pounds of explosive material in one shoot in an old rock pit in a designated area.  We advised the FAA of the time and place as per regulations.  The bomb squad helped arrange the disposal shoot and several of them got their cookies off. We used a fuse and percussion cap with a 15 minute fuse and over 100' of 100 grain PETN primacord to set it off. The fireball reached over 1200' in the air.  Small metal hulls from over 300 perf. charges tinkled down for several minutes.

The 10 Most Destructive Americans of My 8 Decades By Frank Hawkins, US Army - Retired Intelligence Officer   America has undergone enormous change during the nearly eight decades of my life.  Today, America is a bitterly divided, poorly educated and morally fragile society with so-called mainstream politicians pushing cynical identity politics, socialism and open borders.  The president of the United States is threatened with impeachment because the other side doesn’t like him.  The once reasonably unbiased American media has evolved into a hysterical left wing mob.  How could the stable and reasonably cohesive America of the 1950s have reached this point in just one lifetime?  Who are the main culprits?  Here’s my list of the 10 most destructive Americans of the last 80 years.   10)  Mark Felt – Deputy director of the FBI, aka “Deep Throat” during the Watergate scandal.  This was the first public instance of a senior FBI official directly interfering in America’s political affairs.  Forerunner of James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Andrew McCabe.   9)  Bill Ayers – Represents the deep and ongoing leftist ideological damage to our education system.  An unrepentant American terrorist who evaded punishment, he devoted his career to radicalizing American education and pushing leftist causes.  Ghost wrote Obama’s book, “Dreams of My Father.”   😎 Teddy Kennedy – Most folks remember Teddy as the guy who left Mary Joe Kopechne to die in his car at Chappaquiddick.  The real damage came after he avoided punishment for her death and became a major Democrat force in the US Senate, pushing through transformative liberal policies in health care and education.  The real damage was the 1965 Hart-Cellar immigration bill he pushed hard for that changed the quota system to increase the flow of third world people without skills into the US and essentially ended large-scale immigration from Europe.   7)  Walter Cronkite – Cronkite was a much beloved network anchor who began the politicalization of America’s news media with his infamous broadcast from Vietnam that described the Tet Offensive as a major victory for the Communists and significantly turned the gullible American public against the Vietnam War.  In fact, the Tet offensive was a military disaster for the NVA and Viet Cong, later admitted by North Vietnamese military leaders.  Decades later Cronkite admitted he got the story wrong.  But it was too late.  The damage was done.   6)  Bill and Hillary Clinton — It’s difficult to separate Team Clinton.  Bill’s presidency was largely benign as he was a relative fiscal conservative who rode the remaining benefits of the Reagan era.  But his sexual exploits badly stained the Oval Office and negatively affected America’s perception of the presidency.  In exchange for financial support, he facilitated the transfer of sensitive military technology to the Chinese.  Hillary, a Saul Alinsky acolyte, is one of the most vicious politicians of my lifetime, covering up Bill’s sexual assaults by harassing and insulting the exploited women and peddling influence around the globe in exchange for funds for the corrupt Clinton Foundation.  She signed off on the sale of 20% of the US uranium reserve to the Russians after Bill received a $500,000 speaking fee in Moscow and the foundation (which supported the Clinton’s regal lifestyle) received hundreds of millions of dollars from those who benefited from the deal.    Between them, they killed any honor that might have existed in the dark halls of DC.   5)  Valerie Jarrett - The Rasputin of the Obama administration.  A Red Diaper baby, her father, maternal grandfather and father-in-law (Vernon Jarrett who was a close friend and ally of Obama mentor Frank Marshall Davis) were hardcore Communists under investigation by the U.S. Government.  She has been in Obama’s ear for his entire political career pushing a strong anti-American, Islamist, anti-Israeli, socialist/communist, cling-to-power agenda.   4)  Jimmy Carter - Carter ignited modern day radical Islam by abandoning the Shah and paving the way for Ayatollah Khomeini to take power in Tehran.  Iran subsequently became the main state sponsor and promoter of international Islamic terrorism.  When Islamists took over our embassy in Tehran, Carter was too weak to effectively respond thus strengthening the rule of the radical Islamic mullahs.   3)  Lyndon Johnson – Johnson turned the Vietnam conflict into a major war for America.  It could have ended early if he had listened to the generals instead of automaker Robert McNamara.  The ultimate result was:  1) 58,000 American military deaths and collaterally tens of thousands of American lives damaged; and 2) a war that badly divided America and created left wing groups that evaded the draft and eventually gained control of our education system.  Even worse, his so-called War on Poverty led to the destruction of American black families with a significant escalation of welfare and policies designed to keep poor families dependent on the government (and voting Democrat) for their well-being.  He deliberately created a racial holocaust that is still burning today.  A strong case could be made for putting him at the top of this list.   2)  Barack Hussein Obama - Obama set up America for a final defeat and stealth conversion from a free market society to socialism/communism.  As we get deeper into the Trump presidency, we learn more each day about how Obama politicized and compromised key government agencies, most prominently the FBI, the CIA and the IRS, thus thoroughly shaking the public’s confidence in the federal government to be fair and unbiased in its activities.  He significantly set back race and other relations between Americans by stoking black grievances and pushing radical identity politics.  Obama’s open support for the Iranian mullahs and his apologetic “lead from behind” foreign policy seriously weakened America abroad.  His blatant attempt to interfere in Israel’s election trying to unseat Netanyahu is one of the most shameful things ever done by an American president.   1)  John Kerry – Some readers will likely say Kerry does not deserve to be number one on this list.  I have him here because I regard him as the most despicable American who ever lived.  After his three faked Purple Hearts during his cowardly service in Vietnam, he was able to leave the US Navy early.  As a reserve naval officer and in clear violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, he traveled to Paris and met privately with the NVA and the Viet Cong.  He returned to the United States parroting the Soviet party line about the war and testified before Congress comparing American soldiers to the hordes of Genghis Khan.  It was a clear case of treason, giving aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war.  We got a second bite of the bitter Kerry apple when as Obama’s secretary of state, he fell into bed with the Iranian (“Death to America”) mullahs giving them the ultimate green light to develop nuclear weapons along with billions of dollars that further supported their terrorist activities.  Only the heroic Swift Vets saved us from a Manchurian Candidate Kerry presidency.  Ultimately we got Obama.   Dishonorable Mentions!  (Just missed the list)   John Brennan – Obama’s CIA director who once voted for Communist Gus Hall for president.  A key member of the Deep State who severely politicized the CIA called President Trump treasonous for meeting with the president of Russia.   Jane Fonda – movie actress who made the infamous trip to Vietnam during the war in support of the Communists.  She represents hard left Hollywood that has done so much damage to our culture.   Jimmy Hendrix and Janice Joplin – Both revered entertainers helped usher in the prevailing drug culture and personally suffered the consequences.  Karma’s a bitch.   Robert Johnson / BET – Helped popularize ho’s, bitches and pimps while making millions on great hits such as “Jigga my Nigga”, “Big Pimpin’”, “Niggas in Paris” and “Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.”   Many scholars within the African American community maintain that BET perpetuates and justifies racism by adopting the stereotypes held about African Americans, affecting the psyche of young viewers through the bombardment of negative images of African Americans.  Who can disagree?   Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr./The New York Times – Once the gold standard of American journalism, the paper always had a liberal tilt and occasionally made bad mistakes.  As the years have gone along, the paper has slid further and further left and today is virtually the primary propaganda arm of the increasingly radical Democrat Party.  Still retains influence in Washington and New York.   George Soros – Jewish former Nazi collaborator in his native Hungary who as a self-made billionaire has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into left wing groups and causes.  The damage he has caused is difficult to measure, but it’s certainly large.  He has funded much of the effort to kill the Trump presidency.   Frank Marshall Davis - Anti-white, black Bolshevik, card-carrying Soviet agent.  Probable birth father and admitted primary mentor of young Barack Hussein Obama.   Frank Hawkins is a former US Army intelligence officer.

Pretty much sums it up perfectly.

mainstream American will never catch up, though - they're already too far gone, too rainwashed, and too fucked-in-the-head.  "Free-Shiit" is all they think about now, based on all this history.

I refuse to take care of the "free shiit"motherfuckers, by working MY ass off. They can work, too. Fuk them.
