No, no, no. We did that with ROCKETS. All kinds of neat explosions. :-)

And some fizzles. Just spitting fire. It's harder to make good gunpowder than it appears. And nozzles are tough.
We dug foxholes for that. So if the sucker decided to fly horizontal, it would just whiz over your head. Hopefully.

We need thames for a really good discussion of explosives, though. He also knows how to make phosgene. A very deadly war gas. I never did that.
