Foxy--Heavier weaponry would have turned me to larger targets.
I was one of the few I knew that took my chemistry classes seriously. I wasn't fascinated that chlorine and sodium made salt but the formulas for some of the explosives were very interesting indeed. Gun cotton was very interesting. It is ordinary cotton soaked in acid. Burns extremely fast, you can hold a piece in your hand, light it, and it will flare so fast it won't even burn you.
I would tell you a few stories but I am not sure that charges can't be brought even now.
