A new type of bomb may have been developed and used by the terrorist group”

At this point, What difference does it make. Their Dead.

We had better send them some air conditioners. The lesser of two evils, you know.

[[’Unique, strange, and terrible’ — ISIS may have recently created a new type of bomb]]

And the answer is :

Bring more of them in , give them housing , an EBT card , and a check . Spend millions more on homeland security to follow them around and watch them blow up Americans. /s

Oh wait that is exactly what the brilliant minds that run our government are already doing.

JV team at it again. Too bad our Varsity is more concerned with figuring out how to get Trannies and women on the front lines and mustering out anyone who objects.

Livens went on to develop a large, simple mortar that could throw a three-gallon drum of oil which would burst when it landed, spreading burning oil over the target.[15] Livens came to the attention of General Hubert Gough who was impressed by his ideas and "wangled" everything that Livens needed for his large projector.[16]

On 25 July 1916 at Ovillers-la-Boisselle during the Battle of the Somme, Z Company used 80 projectors when the Australians were due to attack Pozières. The early versions had a short range and it was necessary to place the projectors 200 yards out in no-man's-land. The resulting barrage was highly successful in neutralising the German machine-gun posts.[15]

Z Company rapidly developed the Livens Projector, increasing its range to 350 yards and eventually an electrically triggered version with a range of 1,300 yards. This version was successfully used at Messines Ridge in June 1917.[15]

The Livens Projector was then modified to fire canisters of poison gas rather than oil. This system was tested in secret, at Thiepval in September 1916 and Beaumont-Hamel in November.[15] The Livens Projector was able to deliver a high concentration of gas a considerable distance. Each canister delivered as much gas as several chemical warfare artillery shells. Without the need to reload a barrage could be launched quickly, catching the enemy by surprise. Although each projector could be fired just once during an attack, the weapon was sufficiently inexpensive to be deployed in hundreds or even thousands.

The Livens Projector was also used to fire other substances. At one time or another the drums contained high explosive, oil and cotton-waste pellets, thermite, white phosphorus and "stinks". Used as giant stink bombs to trick the enemy, "stinks" were malodorous but harmless substances such as bone oil and amyl acetate used to simulate a poison gas attack, thereby compelling the enemy to put on their cumbersome masks (which reduced the efficiency of German troops) on occasions when gas could not be safely employed.[17] Alternatively, "stinks" could be used to artificially prolong the scale, discomfort and duration of genuine gas-attacks i.e. alternating projectiles containing "stinks" with phosgene, adamsite or chloropicrin. There was even a design for ammunition containing a dozen Mills bombs in the manner of a cluster bomb.[18]

The experiments led to a particularly promising arrangement: a forty-gallon steel drum[nb 2] buried in an earthen bank with just the round front end exposed. At the back of the drum was an explosive which, when triggered, ruptured the drum and shot a jet of flame about 10 feet (3.0 m) wide and 30 yards (27 m) long.[1] The design was reminiscent of a weapon dating from late medieval times called a fougasse: a hollow in which was placed a barrel of gunpowder covered by rocks, the explosives to be detonated by a fuse at an opportune moment....

Experiments with the flame fougasse continued and it rapidly evolved. The fuel mixture was at first 40% petrol and 60% gas-oil, a mixture calculated to be useless as a vehicle fuel. A concoction of tar, lime, and petrol gel known as 5B was also developed. “5B was dark coloured, sticky, smooth paste which burned fiercely for many minutes, stuck easily to anything with which it came in contact and did not flow on burning.”[10] Early flame fougasse designs had a complex arrangement of explosive charges: a small one at the front to ignite the fuel and a main charge at the back to throw the fuel forward.[10][17] An important discovery was that including magnesium alloy turnings (the waste product of machining magnesium pieces in a lathe) with the main charge at the rear of the barrel would give reliable ignition. This eliminated the need for a separate ignition charge and its associated wiring.[10][18] The alloy of about 90% magnesium and 10% aluminium was, at the time, known under the trade name Elektron.

Naw it’s just a clock.

Muslims haven’t created anything new in centuries.

Not really ‘new’ per se but definitely a new development for ISIS.

The varsity team has definitely graduated. This is oceans ahead of their usual IED’s; this requires serious skill in chemistry and engineering not just to go off in your face but to actually work right. They’ve got someone on their team by force or flattery or financing who can do this once and probably again. Worrying.

If there is no crater and the buildings are intact, that indicates there was no shockwave, which rules out high explosives. Maybe they used a small explosion to atomize flammable gas and then ignited it?

This is not difficult. If it’s “new” a muslim didn’t make it.
