2lb black powder in an iron pipe strapped next to head method?

[heyismeman]

Anyone else consider this? Metal pipe in woods obviously, I was considering remote detonator that would give me enough time to knock out from benzos first. Anyone wanna chip in and tell me there thoughts

[soonnotkoei]

yea no. don't. i believe a lot of things can go wrong with explosions making it unpredictable. i saw this video of a ukranian soldier who got his head blown off on one side from a grenade and still stayed alive for a while. if you end up messing up the explosion slightly then it could be hell for a while.

 

[Shadows From Hell]

I can honestly say, without a doubt, this thought as never crossed my mind. But I have to agree with @soonnotkoei , it's not something that sounds like a good idea.

like he @soonnotkoei said, there's a lot of things that could go wrong leaving you in a lot of pain and possibly not even killing you.

My thoughts exactly. I don't know why some people think this kind of thing is such a good method when a shotgun is far superior.

Because I can't get a shotgun but I can get gunpowder online easy

I'm not sure where you live, but in America you can buy shotgun ammunition without needing a license. You could then create a pipe shotgun which isn't too hard to make from what i've seen. I don't know any tutorials showing how to create one, but i've seen videos of people using them and they seem reliable.

 

[Azlia]

i don't fully visualize what you are trying to make but i think trying to make what is called hechiza gun would be more effective

The method is as good as can be if youare experienced with that stuff. If you mess around with BP for the first time, I wouldnt consider it.
I agree with @_Maya. If you dont go for a chemical exp. you have to direct the force. This can me done by an improvised shotgun made from two pipes, an endcap and a nail.
...or constructing a literall BP cannon that will obliterate the head.

 

[soonnotkoei]

honestly OP i would suggest you just drop this idea. there are other more peaceful and most importantly reliable methods out there. granted a shotgun isnt exactly peaceful but it is a hell of a lot reliable. or maybe consider a different method entirely. just be sure to do your research. good luck.

What's a BP canon

What's a BP canon

A pipe welded shut on one end, acting as a cannon or large caliber muzzleloader.

 

[Temporary Breakway]

A pipe welded shut on one end, acting as a cannon or large caliber muzzleloader.

So like with 3 50 cal muzzleloader balls at the other end

Exactly. Or with a lot of small steel bearing balls.

If only I had welding tools
Firework seems decent chance of doing it
Just need a big ass firework

Like a massive aerial shell that is at the very end of the range of what I can legally buy as joe shmoe mcmoe

Forget about fireworks and watch some gore videos about firework accidents. They are literally made out of cardboard and glue.

Yep watched some
Not gonna risk it

I don't consider this a method. If you think this is plausible, I think you're living a pipe dream......

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Likely outcome would probably be 25% of face blown off with over 50% burned, yet very much alive

It is certainly one of the methods of all time.

To achieve 100% lethality using only black powder, it is necessary to increase the quantity beyond 2 pounds, ideally 3-5 pounds, seal the iron tube to maximize internal pressure, place it directly in contact with the head to prevent energy dispersion, and use a fast ignition system to ensure an instantaneous explosion. Without these precautions, achieving 100% lethality may not be possible.
The fundamental difference between detonation and deflagration lies in the speed at which the chemical reaction occurs. Detonation is an explosive reaction where the combustion wave propagates at a speed greater than the speed of sound in the material (generally above 2,000 m/s, often up to 8,000 m/s for explosives like C4, TNT, or PETN), generating an extremely destructive shockwave. Deflagration, on the other hand, is a slower reaction in which combustion propagates below the speed of sound (typically 300-600 m/s for black powder), expanding gases without creating a true shockwave.
Black powder is a deflagrating explosive that burns rapidly but does not detonate. Its burning speed ranges between 400 and 600 m/s, much lower than that of detonating explosives, meaning that its destructive power depends more on containment than on the intrinsic strength of the reaction. Compared to modern explosives such as TNT (7,000 m/s), C4 (8,000 m/s), nitroglycerin (7,700 m/s), and PETN (8,400 m/s), black powder has a lower destructive capacity because it does not develop an instantaneous pressure surge. However, when confined in a sealed tube and used in large quantities, it can still generate a devastating explosion, capable of shattering the skull and ensuring high lethality.

Where tf do you learn about this stuff? Every post I've seen from you demonstrates an almost disturbing level of knowledge about death and suicide methods. I say "disturbing" in the best way possible, by the way lol.

When discussing systems based on black powder, such as the metal casing that has been mentioned, we are already considering a rudimentary yet effective method, provided that certain precautions are taken to maximize pressure and reduce energy dispersion. However, those with a deeper understanding of these mechanisms know that far more efficient solutions exist in terms of energy yield and reliability.
Some of my acquaintances, who are passionate about ballistics and simulations, use various tools to precisely analyze key parameters, including internal pressure, burn rate, and gas expansion. It's clear that every software has its limitations, and that more accessible models such as QuickLOAD, Hornady 4DOF, and Gepetto Ballistics do not offer the same level of detail as professional platforms. However, these tools are not intended for definitive simulations, but rather for establishing an initial comparative framework between theory and practice. Their purpose is not to provide absolute predictions but to identify trends and critical parameters, which can then be verified through more advanced methods.
For those working in more technical fields or with access to higher-level tools, there are software programs such as ANSYS Autodyn, LS-DYNA, CTH, and ALE3D, which are used to model shock wave propagation, material behavior under explosive stress, and terminal ballistics. These tools require specialized knowledge and are not easily accessible, not only due to their cost but also because of the restrictions on their distribution and use. Unlike more accessible software, these models allow for a detailed evaluation of a system's behavior under controlled conditions, simulating dynamics that would be impossible to test directly.
Whenever I need a deeper analysis, I can compare empirical data with simulations conducted by those who have access to these advanced tools. The key point is not having direct access to the most powerful software, but knowing how to interpret the information and combine it correctly. It's not just a matter of explosive quantity or theoretical power but how energy is managed, distributed, and optimized to achieve maximum efficiency and predictability of the outcome.
Clearly, access to certain technologies is subject to strict regulations, and not everything is freely available. I always have to be careful about how I talk with these people—some have a strictly technical approach and won't disclose much, while others are more open to discussion, but in any case, it's essential to understand the context. This is not a topic that can be approached lightly, and every conversation must be handled with the necessary caution and awareness.

Wouldn't using accelerants like diesal and gasoline, aluminum powder, etc make it more effective?
