flash powder 

Quite possibly the cheapest, most stable, most easily made and most easily acquired explosive that an average joe, wanting to blowing something up for the sake of fun, can make. Flash powder is commonly used in M80s, silver salutes, firecrackers, and cherry bombs as well as large scale salutes seen in professional fireworks shows. It consists of two components: finly powdered aluminum (2 micron), and potassium perchlorate mixed in a ratio of 3 parts aluminum to 7 parts potassium perchlorate by weight. Both of these components are perfectly legal to purchase, and can be purchased online by anyone, of any age, who has a credit card. The aluminum must be a very finly powdered flake style usually sold under the name indian black or german blackhead. It can be bought from eBay. The potassium perchlorate can be found at any number of internet suppliers. 1 pound of flash powder can be made for only around $20.00 US, although a typical device like an M80 contains only 5 grams (1 lb = 454 grams). The power of flash powder can be increased significantly by adding additives such as: sulfur, antimony sulfide or just simply black powder in small amounts, typically 8-9 parts flash powder to 1-2 parts additive. This however, decreases the stability and could cause spontaneous ignition especially if the additive is not free of acid. Flash powder is scientifically designated a low order explosive meaning it burns quickly producing a great deal of energy in a small about of time. Legally it is classified as a high explosive. Due to the ultra high burning temperature of aluminum the rate of burning in flash powder actually reaches the speed of sound causing a detonation like a high explosive. This requires a critical mass of 50 grams in order for the flame front to acheive the speed of sound. For this reason quantities of flash powder in excess of 50 g do not need to be confined within a container in order to explode.

Flash Powder 

Flash powder is a powder comprised of Potassium Perchlorate and Aluminum Powder. It's called flash powder for it's rapid expansion, it literally flashes out of existence with a bright flash of light. Flash powder is used in most exploding firecrackers but in small amounts. The legal limit for the U.S. is 50 milligrams, M-80s and other such types of firecrackers contained the same powder but in larger quantities. M-80s usually contained 7 grams of flash powder. Flash powder is so powerful that in larger amounts it will explode upon ignition without the need for a shell for gasses to build up in.
"Wow! That flash powder really makes for good firecrackers, it just ripped the hood of that car off!"
" I know, good thing we used 4oz of it, I wounder what 8oz would do?"

An acronym for an "aznbbygirl" meaning an asian female gangster. ABG's like to hang with gangsters and wear thin (slutty) clothing. They like to jump other girls who talk shit and make out with their boyfriends 24/7 (maybe even have sex.) Usually own side kicks who also like to text frequently. ABG'S also normally have a "ride or die" homie, someone who is always down for them, or die trying. ABG's are also known for dying their hair alot. From blonde to black. They have many piercings: multiple on the ears, and stomach/lip. They probably have teased hair, bangs, and have had extensions at one point or another. Could also have painted nails and tatoos. ABG's are super hot, but you would probably get jumped if you tried to hit on them. They also loiter and hang out past curfew.
"Oh shit look at those hotties at that boba house.."
"Watch out, see those gangsters next to them? Their obviously ABG's."
"Damn..still hot."
