This is an x-ray of one of the devices. I'm not too knowledgeable about these kinds of things, but it looks like the wires just go in and out of the pipe, and are not even connected to the timer. Is it even possible this thing could detonate?

If that was steel wool connected to the wires it could be.

These fake bombs have nothing explosive inside. Just sulfur powder which can be easily bought. This is pathetic. - Amazon Ebay etc  ---

Been asking and no one has answered, but what explosive was used. Not one article that I found states the explosive material. We know the supposed bombs could not be detonated and were basically paper weights. I want to know if the paperweights had punch.

Note the casing and end-caps do not appear to be made of metal. Otherwise the x-ray would show the sides and endcaps as dark as the wires.

If the devise has gunpowder inside, it would be closer to a "flash-bang" than a deadly devise, given the little information available.

One of them seems to connect to the timer for sure, the other could be connected, and just the perspective of the x-ray makes it look like it goes back into the device. They certainly seemed to be connected to the “timer” from the photos that were posted.

What is interesting is that inside the device, they are not connected to a blasting cap or anything like that. It just looks like they are connected to either end of a coil of wires. I suppose if those wires were a resister like the tungsten filaments in light bulbs they could possibly generate enough heat to light off a low order explosive like black powder, but I don’t think it would be very reliable.

Cut the RED wire!!!

Why would there be a time on a package bomb that is supposed to detonate when opened?

Democrats are not well known for their mechanical or electrical skills. In fact, they're not much good at ANYTHING except turning cities, towns, counties, states and countries into shitholes.
