    The chemical synthesis for gunpowder is not particularly complex. The most clandestine ingredient you need is sulfuric (or nitric) acid

        @bascule gunpowder is also readily available and not that interesting on its own.

        @bleything confirm ;) I haven't really investigated making bullets yet but from everything else I've read it's metallurgy 101

        @bascule neither are fundamentally that complex, and both are, again, readily available.

        @bleything the topic is interesting because people believe limiting availability through legal means will stop people from using bullets

        @bascule by and large, it actually will. the barrier to entry becomes high enough that only people truly dedicated to using a gun will do so

        @bleything I've been talking to a lot of amateur gunsmiths and their reaction to gun control is "LOL"

        @bascule well sure, but that's a very specific subset of the population

        @bascule sure, if you're willing to take the risk, there are "more effective" compounds too
