@bascule gunpowder is also readily available and not that interesting on its own.
The chemical synthesis for gunpowder is not particularly complex. The most clandestine ingredient you need is sulfuric (or nitric) acid

@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 -
@bleything it's getting easier all the time though... http://cncguns.com/

@bascule which is extremely easy to get if you have friends with access to a uni lab. -
@carlos_agarie confirm, you can make gunpowder in practically any chemistry classroom

@bascule sure, if you're willing to take the risk, there are "more effective" compounds tooThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
