First of all you need to make gunpowder. And to make gunpowder you need potassium nitrate, sulphur, and charcoal. Powder these and mix. There you have black powder. Now you need to find a pil bottle and screw a hole in the lid.Now find some small pieces of metal scrap or some steel ball bearings. Pour in about an inch of powder then some metal. Repeat until full. Insert fuse (sparkler) into hole, screw on cap, light and head for shelter. If you are going to use a sparkler for a fuse use a 1/8 drill bit and it is the exact size. Have fun.
