A diversion bomb isnt actually a bomb at all but it can be used for diversions. Take a small plastic water bottle (the one used here is 16.9 FL OZ) and take the cap off. Fill the bottom of the bottle with about 1 teaspoon of gunpowder. Take the cap and drill a very small hole in the top of it. You can also heat up a sewing needle and use it to melt a hole through the cap. The hole should be large enough to accommodate for a 3-inch long fuse (drill the hole according to your own estimated diameter of the fuse). Make sure the fuse fits tightly into the cap. Screw the cap back onto the bottle. The fuse should be hanging out of the cap at about 1/2 inches on each side. Ignite the fuse, throw the bottle and run. When the bottle explodes the sound it creates can be heard for a great distance (about 7 neighborhood blocks in diameter).

Other uses for this Water Bottle Bomb: The bottleneck can be put into a parking cone (the orange ones you see lying around a school campus) top by inserting it through the bottom. The parking cone acts as a platform for the bottle and when ignited the pressure that is created will send the parking cone flying into the air at a height of about 25 feet high.

Also, instead of using a plastic bottle, you can use a glass bottle. It wont cause such a loud sound, but it will send glass hurling into the air and fast speeds.
