BaDSeeD Frequent Poster	posted January 22, 2000 10:28 PM Well i'm still using that silencer that i poseted about, but still have no bolt lock to stop that click of the bolt slamming back and forth. The rats i have been trying to eradicate have been getting pretty smart. There is almost NO muzzle sound when i shoot at them... but the little bastards are getting to know the sound of that bolt click. They hear that and i may be able to pick off a couple, but then they scatter. Well i tried something new today... I was looking over some old files and came across homemade claymores. Well i took a couple small pieces of 2 x 2 angle iron about the same in length, drilled a small hole in the back of it, covered the front of it with a layer of AP and a cardboard "wad" taped it all secure with an electrical igniter within the ap, and then covered the front in glue and #9 lead shot. I made up 4 of them, and arranged them in a V pattern around where i was trying to lure the rats. I used heavier pieces of angle iron about a foot long (almost looked like tent stakes) and hammered them into the ground as a support to hold the claymores. I tossed out a few handfulls of dog food, and waited by the switch Well believe it or not... there had to be about thirty rats come to the food!!!! THERE WAS NOT ONE LEFT ALIVE!!! MUHAHAHAHA There was nothing but a bloody, hairy SPRAY from the closest rats to the blast, and the other ones looked like they were worked over with a meat mallet! Needless to say... after the sound of that blast.. i didnt see one for the rest of the day..lol But i just had to post this cause it was a hell of a victory for the humans today ------------------ Knowledge is the true power, ignorance will bring your demise.

nbk2000 Moderator	posted January 23, 2000 03:49 AM I know of some human vermin who could use the same "treatment". Take some pictures next time, that would be really cool. How close were the rats to the mines? A foot or a couple yards, more? And the angle iron, did it look like "<" or like "["? ------------------ "The knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them." www.50megs.com/nbk2000
BaDSeeD Frequent Poster	posted January 23, 2000 05:42 AM The angle iron was 90 degree iron. Like this <. And the ones that tirned to .. well mist..lol Were about 2 yards away. The furthest ones away from it were about 5 or 6 yards away. ------------------ Knowledge is the true power, ignorance will bring your demise.
Ho ju Moderator	posted January 23, 2000 01:42 PM damn so you directed the blast right at the mother fuckers eh? that is some nasty shit. do you have a scanner or digital camara so you can take pictures and post them? ------------------ -Knowledge is power, power leads to corruption, corruption is a crime, crime doesn't pay.

Apathetic Frequent Poster	posted January 23, 2000 07:42 PM Did you use AP putty or just AP powder?
HMTD Factory Frequent Poster	posted January 24, 2000 04:30 AM That's some cool extermination! I got some thoughts that might save you more AP for next generation rats, here goes : set up an arena with big paper boxes or obstacles, like a roundup of 3 sides, pile food in this arena , setup a post on one side, strap mines on the post and the mine is facing down toward the center of the arena, when the mine exploded, lead shots then come from above and kill everything in covered area, heheh. =============== \| \|&&&&&&&&& \| \|&&&&&&&&& \| \|&&&FOOD&&&&/ \| \|&&&FOOD&&&\|O \| \|&&&FOOD&&&&\ \| \|&&&&&&&&& \| \|&&&&&&&&& =============== & is a mouse and the the O is the post, three lines around the O are sides of the mine.
BaDSeeD Frequent Poster	posted January 24, 2000 11:53 AM No unfortunatly i dont have a digital cam, or even a scanner. I thought about taking some pics... cause i do have a good 35 mil camera.. but without a polaroid.. there could be some interesting questions that i dont want to have to answer when i get them developed. It was an AP putty like described in the Anarchists handbook ... i think thats where i got it from. The one that uses an amount of double base smokeless powder with the ap. The reason i arranged it the way i did in that V pattern was to control where everything flew. Had to make sure the blast went in one direction. The only major f--- up i did... was that i underestimated how powerfull the blast would be, a couple of the pieces of angle iron that i used for the claymores had enough of a blast to bend the "tent stake" type piece of angle iron, and send it flying back the way NOTHING WAS SUPPOSED TO GO! That could be hazardous to your health. I think next time i do something like that i better be a little more carefull with how much i use on each one, measure the amounts and find the right quantity to use. Also... it'd probably be better to have the charge right on the "tent stake" piece instead of on a seperate one. But i was concerned that hammering it into the ground might be too much shock .. even if i didnt hit the ap itself. I really dont know exactly how shock sensitive AP is... so i wasnt taking any chances and risk a premature det. Thats why the seperate pieces. I keep coming up with new and creative ways to get rid of these suckers. This was by far the coolest. Although our last project was pretty sweet too. We hopped the fence to the junk yard, and stole a bunch of old car batteries, and a small roll of chainlink fence, and any jumper cables we could find. Some of you may see where this is leading. Well... we rigged all the batteries in series.. and attached the cables to the fence. Tossed out some dogfood on the fence and waited for the hoards to show up. When there was a good number of rats on the fence... ZAP! Most of them would just get stuck and shake while the juice was applied... some caught fire ... not sure why that is... that some burned while others didnt. But it was pretty cool. And some rats are just stupid i guess.... cause they would smell the barbecue, and come to eat the other dead, COOKED rats... only to get cooked themselves That got us ..i really dont know how many .. but when we went to get rid of the piece of fence (two strands tied together in about an 8 x 8 foot square) it weighed about 150 pounds. Like i said... was cool But be warned if anyone tries this... first of all... it stinks like hell, and stay away from the batteries, or cover them with oil drums or something. They got pretty hot, and one of them blew up on us. Hmm... second though... if you cover them with an oil drum... make sure ya knock a few holes in it so you dont get a buildup of hydrogen gas too.

m3nth Frequent Poster	posted January 24, 2000 02:02 PM BaDSeeD if you have a good 35mm camera check out this link at the bottom... they will develop your pictures, make them available digitally to you online and even send you free film so you will try out their services. also i don't think very many companies would actually look at pictures you have developed since they are all developed and packaged by machines. ~m3nth~ http://www.seattlefilmworks.com/
BaDSeeD Frequent Poster	posted January 24, 2000 05:04 PM Well... i do know they look at the pictures. They check for the quality to see if they need to be reprinted. Plus the people that run the machines are nosey. My wife and i had taken a few... well riske pictures before... and the company that developed them wouldnt give them to us. Well... i'm 6 foot 2, and 280 pounds (not fat) .. needless to say.. i demanded them from the manager.. and the negatives .. i told him i want to make SURE that no one else gets them. He got the point But it would be harder to explain exploding rats. I'll give that link a try one of these days though. Thanks. ------------------ Knowledge is the true power, ignorance will bring your demise.
m3nth Frequent Poster	posted January 24, 2000 07:31 PM hmmmm.... well i know here (i live in the US as well) you can take them to walmart, they are done by machine and they come back in a package... granted it's not a 1hr deal but then they give you the pictures and if you don't like the quality, you give those back and they don't charge you for them... i assume places like eckards, meijers and other major places do the same. 1hr photo deals though... yeah they come straight off the machine where the employees can look at them and/or check them for quality... not good. anyway hope that link is of use. ~m3nth~
Dr-D Frequent Poster	posted January 25, 2000 06:46 PM Well, the rats burst into flames because the current was so high. With high voltage, low current, things don't tend to burn, just get shocked bad ala stun guns. With high current it can easily stop hearts, and ignite things. And yes, you were shorting the batteries and as expected they got hot and blew up. ** ADDED *** Speaking of burning rats, wouldn't it be cool to incenerate them? Dumping a flaming napalm mixture on them would work but be inhumane as they run around on fire. A more satisfying way would be to line the ground with a very fast burning pyrotechnic mixture, sealed in 2 peices of paperwrap so they don't step/smell it. Chlorate sugar might work well. Basicly you want a fast intense burning to incenerate the bastages. [This message has been edited by Dr-D (edited January 25, 2000).]
BaDSeeD Frequent Poster	posted January 25, 2000 09:50 PM What i said... was that i dont understand why some of them burst into flames... yet others didnt. I know why some did... but another rat could be a couple inches away, and not burn. Don't really care as long as they died But just thought that was curious As for them shorting out (tha batteries)... i actually expected that.. but didnt care cause i didn't pay for them Just wanted to make sure if anyone else tried this, that they were aware of the problem, and took some saftey precautions. ------------------ Knowledge is the true power, ignorance will bring your demise.
m3nth Frequent Poster	posted January 25, 2000 11:25 PM some burned and others didn't probably because of voltage differences on your fence due to other rats shorting and also the resistance of the rats being different depending on where they were shorted to. the way your fence was layed out would have affected it as well. also it would be possible that when one rat shorted the resistance of that rat went down so much that more and more current went through it and was unnavailable for the other rat that didn't burn (ie cause it had higher resistance cause it hadn't been fried yet and therefore remained unfried). hope all that didn't sound like a buncha mumbo jumbo. ~m3nth~
BaDSeeD Frequent Poster	posted January 26, 2000 09:14 AM Well .... it did Nah just kidding. I wonder if i can scavenge some transformers or high voltage capacitors next time. Maybe i can send enough voltage through them to make them pop like popcorn...hehehe ------------------ Knowledge is the true power, ignorance will bring your demise.
Predator Frequent Poster	posted January 26, 2000 01:50 PM See if you can get your hands on a second hand neon transformer, they output approximately 90KiloVolts I think. ( 90,000V )
m3nth Frequent Poster	posted January 26, 2000 07:02 PM that wouldn't do anything special... car batteries are a lot better. power into a transformer = power out so you really don't gain much compared to the setup described earlier. plus if you were running the transformer off of the batteries you would have to have some kind of special circuitry that would also use up more power since transformers are AC and batteries are DC. ~m3nth~
Dr-D Frequent Poster	posted January 29, 2000 04:34 PM 90,000 eh? thats on par with commercial stun gun voltages. Any one know what the voltage output of a car ignition coil is? I think its just around 2,000V
m3nth Frequent Poster	posted January 29, 2000 08:36 PM car ignition coils put out 10-25kV i am fairly sure. there is a general rule of thumb for testing high voltage just by how far it will spark. course that changes with humidity and transformer power but 12kV will jump approximately 1/2-3/4 inch in dry air - more under humid conditions. ~m3nth~
