thanks bro was wondering wtf it was for so i cant blow up anything lol..
what happens if it gets wet??
 
Technically anything can blow up. Shit it took the military what like 6 hours to learn how to make an MRE bomb? Those things are great though. If it hasn't been used try activating it inside a compressed area or with a pure reactant chemical.

Bombs are fun and yes they will kill you

According to the google search it needs a battery and water to activate and it will turn into Hydrogen... at least thats what it said

Hydrogen goes boom really well. We used to make carbide cannons when I was a kid (dad taught us!). One of my brothers made one with an oil drum, blew out windows all around.
