This is my scenario:
Some guy is murdered when a blasting cap is placed in his mouth. Now if you also placed something like a bunch of marbles in his mouth, with the blasting cap in the middle, what kind of damage would be done?
Also, I know fuse-lit blasting caps are out of date, but are they still accessible at least some place?
What about remote-control detonators? You have the blasting cap, and the wire trailing out?
Do blasting caps make a loud noise or are some quiet?
What other explosive type things could be used if blasting cap is not realistic--M80?
I need alot of help.
Any info, references helpful.
