Someone set us up the buckybomb!
50-picosecond detonation time!
Can you bring a tiny container of these on yer next flight to Warshington?

I’m sitting here wondering what a .45ACP would do if these were used as the propellant instead of smokeless powder.

Maybe something good for Army shaped charges in the near future?

Breathe these nano-explosives in, and collapse. It might be 10 years before anybody has a clue as to what happened to you. But you will be in the ground. PING the Conspiracy List Freepers!!!

Actually, firearm propellants are more effective with a slower burn.

Yeah, but buckyball bullets has a better ring to it.

Seems like a good rocket fuel

Ban The BuckyBomb Immediately!

Melt the case and chamber.
This is a HOT explosive.

“I’m sitting here wondering what a .45ACP would do if these were used as the propellant instead of smokeless powder.”
Here’s my understanding and I’m sure somebody will let us know if I’ve got it wrong. Different bullets require different speed explosives. Smaller bullets kill by shockwave and must travel fast, so their powder burns fast. A .380, for example, travels at 1200 fps. Larger bullets, like the .45 kill by transferring momentum and travel more slowly, about 800fps. Their powder burns more slowly.

Technically gunpowder is a propellant, not an explosive.
