The idea is to make a multi-purpose rocket, that can be easily made into a nightmarish explosive, along with it using what even an assitant can get thier hands on.
What you need:
* Metal rods
* Hollow Pipe Frame
*Wire
*Igniter
* Gas tank (Any will do, any gas mixture as well!)
*Beaker with chems (Optional)
Let's Make this thing!
1. attach the rod and Pipe into place, and weld together to make it secure (DO THIS, FOR REASONS BELOW)
2. Mount the gas Canister to the rod, on the other end. Be sure its full; the more gas, the better!
3. Drop the igniter into the pipe. If you have a beaker of chems you want to use, drop that in after placing the igniter.
4. Attach wires to the release valve on the gas tank.
5. Wrench to secure the gas tank to the rod (DO THIS TO.)
There, you got a (hopefully) flight-worthy rocket!
DANGERS
Care must be taken when making these, as any skipped steps could lead to a dud, or a potentially dangerous pipebomb on a stick!
If you do not secure the pipe frame, for example, the rocket will go off, and the pipe frame will be flung off. It will probably activate the beaker inside, more than likely right on your feet!
If you do not wrench the gas tank in place, the tank could go rocketing off, potentially smacking and knocking out someone, while you are left with a worthless bangstick, although it may be good as a throwing impliment, or a suicide ambush attack...
Those aren't the only dangers: Remember, you are using the release pressure valve as a means of propulsion. Too little, and it will sputter a few tiles before slamming on the ground. Too much pressure released at once may result in the same, but the back end of the gas tank blowing off, hitting you in the face.
VARIANTS AND EXTRAS
*Like I said, any gas can be used. What would assist in an explosive rocket?
* Sec officers can craft long range "hall-clearers", using flash powder and a somewhat lower pressure release.
* Got a pod fucking with the Escape shuttle, and a window is missing? Launch a rocket at that bastard to fight back!
* Clowns can get on the fun, with a little help: Instead of a beaker, he can attach either a pie or a boxing glove on the end, perfect for long-range prankstering!
