in the intrest of a ground charge or a mine effect or sumthin in that category, since anfo is pretty availible wat kinda detonator or how many grams of explosive e.g. hmtd, mercury fulminate wuld u need to detonate a charge of say 200g of anfo? (just a simple number to measure it on though to make a decent effect id prob use more)and also wat kinda tube tube thickness wuld u want to attempt to control the blast upwards to create a nice big expolsion of earth? (and to attempt a resonably safe effect).though i prob may not use anfo i was just wonderin coz other high explosives are hard to keep for long and sum (infact most) dodgy to make

Just do it with flash powder. A flash charge packed above with fullers earth will create a hefty bang and a plume of dust / debris.

I really dont think you should be even considering touching HE. Please remember the rules of our forum, and our standpoint on such matters.

If you thought pyrotechnics in the UK is generally illegal, I can assure you HE is a whole different ball game.

I'm not going to go into this much. When I speak its from the standpoint of doing it professionaly, so I cant comment on home-brew explosivies. ANFO certainly wouldnt be used. Some times detcord or PE4, and sometimes flash based device or even black powder. Depending on many things. Compressed air even in some cases.
