wait so does the 100g rule mean i can make black powder without a liscence as long as its 100g or less?

If your interested the relivant part of the new laws (MSER 2005), is as follows;

PART 3

LICENSING AND REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

Explosives not to be manufactured without a licence[/b]
9. - (1) Subject to paragraph (2), no person shall manufacture explosives unless he holds a licence for that manufacture and complies with the conditions of that licence.

(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to -

(a) the manufacture of explosives for the purpose of laboratory analysis, testing, demonstration or experimentation (but not for practical use or sale) where the total quantity of explosives being manufactured at any time does not exceed 100 grams, but nothing in this sub-paragraph shall be taken as authorising any acquisition or keeping of explosives for which an explosives certificate is required by virtue of regulation 7 of those Regulations, without such a certificate;


The bits in red are the most relevant parts.
The laws added to the statute continue for some considerable pages.


In lay terms, as already stated, you can make upto 100g for the practices associated with parts of this forum. Note that "practical use" includes use in a display, so makeing a device and setting it off in a safe manor is fine, showing it to friends is not (well a debateably grey area anyway, but I would not want to be the one to find out where a judge thinks the line lies!!!).


(EDIT: spelling mistake; probably more!)
