Fire detonation caps are more "stable" in the fact that they won't go off if you've got a radio on you or if you shuffle your feet around. However, you light a cigarette or create one too many sparks near the fuse end of the cap and you've got the same problem. As with the electric caps, don't go being rough with the caps. Just bend a cap and you'll pay for it with the equivalent explosive potential of a quarter stick of dynamite.

It's a wonder I managed to live through college without the dorm blowing up!

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
