considering publishing a guidebook based on my experiments

I'm considering publishing a guidebook based on my gun related experiments. mainly my experience with shooting body armor, home made cannons and pyrotechnic rounds for them, and determining what accessories don't belong on a rifle. Sort of in the line of the zombie hunters guide books, only not with the pretense that its to prepare for a fictional event.
my main concern is that it would be used for actual violence or people would hurt them selves.
I think the "make your own flak jacket section might cause problems. FYI 30 layers of dry fiberglass will stop a .45 acp round.

You might take the approach of relating your experiments as presenting your results and stay away from advice.
Maybe a lawyer would be a good pre-publishing step too.

Please write with the pen name Seniorel Meow-Meow. Keep it in the zombie context, and fun, you can write whatever you want.

By all means I don't know everything, but I know a lot, especially when it comes to non civilian legal weapons, and that is precisely the reason I don't share that information. Well that and a lot of it would be more likely to the makers in synthesis than anyone they might be trying to hurt. Unfortunately a lot of it has become commons knowledge, like thermite, which is not something your average joe needs to be messing with without the proper training. And you invariably get a lot of idiots on youtube making videos with the stuff. Much more than you get actually trying to do harm with it. But idiots + thermobarics is never a good combination.

I agree. Any research you do is meaningless unless it's under that pen name.

lets see, I have notes on surplus body armor I've shot at (Doron, nylon, kevlar 29, km2 and dynema), armor plates I've made my self, custom made vest from surplus ballistic panels, instructions on the cannon I made my self out of 2" black steel pipe, pyrotechnic rounds I've made for it, making smoke bombs or propellant from sugar and stump remover. reviews of different guns I've owned and why they aren't suitable for anything other than mall ninjas, converting a shot gun to a break action muzzle loader.
the cannon would be a fun father son project, but when daddies at work jr. is likely to fire it indoors or load it to the brim with powder, or cut open hundreds of fire crackers to try and make he rounds.
and then home made body armor could result in blunt trauma injuries when a red neck tries to test his vest on him self because hes to cheap the spring for a block of clay.

the anarchists cookbook is a recipe for disaster *rimshot*, they intentionally left out the saftey parts in the explosive making sections so that if you follow the book to the letter you WILL blow yourself up.

che's 16 gauge shotgun converted to a Molotov cocktail mortar looked fun, I'm considering buy a single barrel multi caliber gun and getting a 308, 223 and 12 gauge barrel so i can use blanks to launch tennis balls out of a launching cup.
