Pipe Bombs

A pipe bomb is a makeshift explosive device built using a strong pipe filled with explosive material and sealed at both ends. When the fuse is lit, the explosive detonates, causing the pipe to burst and produce a destructive blast. Pipe bombs are often improvised and dangerous because they can cause significant injury or damage. They are illegal and considered a form of terrorist or criminal activity due to their potential for harm. Law enforcement treats them as serious threats, emphasizing the importance of safety and proper handling by trained professionals.
