I had science at school today and we were doing more shiz on forces. The teacher decided to do rockets so while he was setting 1 up a rocket loads of people were looking through the box of rocket parts including me. I noticed the motors in particular and knew they contained flash powder of sorts. i took my chance and grabbed 1 and stuffed it swiftly into my pocket.
these are some pics of it...
any ideas on what to do with it?

Fun thing to do with them is just stick a fuse and them and throw them in a random direction because they go all over the place.
Make sure you do it in like a field and no one is around because you can get really fucked up from those.
If want it to go in one direction tape a stick or bamboo skewer onto it.
I remember last year I made a couple and launched them from my bike at some random mexicans playing basketball but no one of them hit, they didn’t even get near but it still looked cool as hell.

You do know that you can buy these at wal-mart right?
They’re really nothing special.
They also don’t contain flashpowder, and I’m pretty sure getting the powder that is in it out is kinda a bitch (that sentence sounds weird).
Sorry.

Lol, don’t we all?
And yeah I remember the rockets were these: http://www.oldrocketplans.com/estes/est1949/est1949.htm
I got them from the tech lab at school and made all of them with inverted fins...pretty sweet. I think I still have one around somewhere I’ll post a blog with pics tommorow if I find it.

Yeah, only black powder.
And it’s pretty much easy going if you have a bag made out of duct tape and a hammer (using a file takes forever). I remember Defiler suggested I use them to make mushroom clouds, and I partially burnt my eyebrow.

wow, you must be new here man....you can buy rocket motors for 5 bucks a pack of 3 or 4. they have black powder and clay in them. best way to extract it is unravel the cardboard all the way, break off the clay pieces, then use a mortar and pestle to break up the black powder

No Wal-mart in UK + in the UK anything that involves being lit on fire is treated as a nuke by the the pigs here, i was chased a mile or so just for spraying small patches of lynx (axe) on a wall and lighting them on fire.

^before anyone says ’STFU i’ve been here way longer than you’ i’m only saying that to say that i’m not new here and I feel it is necessary as most people here don’t take what i’m asking seriously such as MM. So to shorten and sum up what i’m saying...
Stuff like rocket motors here in the UK aren’t something you can just pick up in any store you enter. They are hard to find, expensive and I’d rather wait 2 1/2 years until i really do turn 18 so I can buy them, in all honesty i would get a fake ID and know how/where, but I really don’t look 18.
So if it really is just black powder in them, then i’ll just do something simple unless unless anyone here can think of something creative.

I got an idea...
Get a connector like this and cut the wires:
The white part will connect to a standard power supply in a computer. Now get a piece of a guitar string. I suggest about .011 (B or high E) diameter by about 15 cm. long. Attach it to the connector and tape it to the engine like this:
Now, go to a "friend’s" (victim’s) house. Hang out with them. When they go to the bathroom or w/e, turn their computer off, open the case, and pug it in.
It’ll light when they turn it on. Make sure to get it on video. K? :-D
