Hi everyone
I have a hypothetical question about fertilizer bombs. Well its not a fertilizer bomb I guess because in the scenario the protagonist has barrels of ammonium nitrate at his disposal. I've been reading up on this type of bomb and a lot of text out there says it has to be a very precise mixture for the desired effect. But then I've read up on disasters that have occurred and these obviously weren't contrived mixes, hence the word accident.
So say if my protagonist rolled a few barrels together, doused it in diesel fuel and threw in some sticks of TNT, would we get a kaboom or a fizzler?
I apologise if this is too vague for a concise answer. Any insight given is greatly appreciated.
Also, if my scenario isn't feasible, how could I make it so?
Thanks in advance everyone
