How to Make C4 with RDX
Unlike other high explosives you can make RDX with this simple method, with the exception of the ammonium nitrate. All necessary precautions should be taken to prevent injury or death. Below I’ll list the equipment and materials you’ll need to make RDX.
Equipment needed to Make RDX
500 ml beaker
Glass stirring rod
Funnel and filter paper
Ice bath container
Thermometer
Blue litmus paper
Protective Eyewear (DeWalt)
Protective Suit
Face Mask
Materials need to make RDX
Hexamine (can substitute with Methenamine)
Concentrated Nitric Acid
Distilled Water
Table Salt
Ice
Ammonium Nitrate
How to make RDX
Place beaker in ice bath and carefully pour 550 ml of concentrated nitric acid into beaker.
When acid cools to 20 degrees below centigrade, add small (pea sized)amounts of crushed hexamine tablets into the beaker.
The temperature will rise after adding the hexamine; continue to slowly stir the mixture with your glass stirring rod.
Do not let the mixture go above 30 degree centigrade or you’re fucked. Add ammonium nitrate to the liquid bath to cool it down faster.
Add more ice and salt into the ice bath to bring the temperature of the mixture to below 0 degrees centigrade. Maintain the temperature for twenty minutes (set timer)
Pour mixture into a liter of crushed ice, shake and stir mixture like a martini.
Allow the mixture to melt, once melted use your funnel and filter paper to extract the crystals while disposing of the corrosive liquid left over.
Bring a half liter of distilled water to a steady boil and add the crystals.
Immediately filter the crystals out again and test with blue litmus paper (you want it to stay blue), repeat steps 8 & 9 and the blue litmus paper stays blue.
Allow RDX crystals to be thoroughly dried before storage.
How to make C1 and C4
You may opt to make C-1 which is a bit easier to make than C-4. C-1 is made by using 88.3% RDX, 11.1% mineral oil, and 0.6% lecithin by weight. Kneed these materials together in a plastic bag to desensitize the explosive
C4 can be made with the same technique while substituting materials such as; 91% RDX, 5.3 dioctyl sebacate as the plasticizer, 2.1% polyisobutylene (or synthetic rubber) as the binding agent, and 1/6% mineral oil.
