He says that remote detonated bombs require a higher skill set than wired once. So, technically connecting a detonator with a wire or an antenna is the same level, but the placing person needs to watch.
This is the psyco active view of operation. They believe to be intimidating striking everyone with fear that just watches them.
"Just mixed Black Powder" is also a trick. You cannot find the recipe for Black Powder in the internet, because "Salpeter" is a trick. It is three ingredients and legal in Austria. As a hint, if Black Powder is done properly it self-ignites under just 1kg of pressure which means a large sack reacts very different to horizontal and vertical placement, beside not catching from 10 Newton-meter creating energy height.
This being said:
A Newton-meter (Nm) cannot be directly converted to kilograms (kg) because a Newton-meter is a unit of torque (a rotational force), while a kilogram is a unit of mass. To understand the relationship, you need to consider the context of a kilogram-force (kgf), where 1 kgf is the force exerted by 1 kilogram of mass under Earth's gravity, which is approximately 9.81 Newtons. Therefore, you'd need to convert the Newton-meter into a unit involving force, such as a kilogram-force-meter, or understand that a Newton is a derived unit for force, related to mass and acceleration
I personally do not even have weapons, because of having been humiliated for way too long. They bring what I'll use into my personal psychosis turning out to be dark ugly reality that would create a quite sad Netflix show.
Bomb making is an art or a stupid endeavor ending in suicide. Until here the best were part of the Provitional IRA (pro vitio, not pro visio, CNN). They layed using home made Semtex entire kill pathways against the SAS.
Semtex is a form of plastic explosive and very safe to handle. The worst to handle is Nitro-Glycerin that as soon as mixed, reacts on little shocks of only a few grams of energy. Semtex can burn and drop, only explodes by an electric fuse, but than has way more impact as commercial mining TNT, that really comes in comic red pipes, if its good quality.
The simpliest form are petrol bombs that ignite by a wire pulling a lighter or turn a switch of a cigarette heater put into a barrel of patrol.
From there it needs creativity, psychology and understanding of chemics and physics to create the biggest impact.
The most skill set are combined attacks in which the bombs are only the mean beans of an Ambush in which snipers and storm troops attack using small arms like assault rifles and RPGs in an urban intact environment. Daily life in Brazil's Favelas for BOPE and still today in Mexico, because Cocaine is so great for rich western wankers, innit.
ETA was great in precision bombing routine Police cars hiding their remote triggered IEDs in street gully covers using that weight to create a targeted or precision strike bomb in which most energy goes into one defined direction. Upwards, obviously, in this cases.
Others, like MS13 or Aryan Nation use rather large amounts of explosives directly behind a door leaving their cooking ingredients around. which are base for both meth and explosives, to pull down the entire building as soon as SWAT pulls the door handle into or kicks off a gang war.
The string explosive wire of Aryan Nation used in Miami Vice on a kidnapped officer really exists and was adopted by Big Red One having experts given a new home and life for successful use in Iraq. The length of the wire defines the explosive power in a most simple way. Safety first. Trailer Trash to American Hero!
The low point was hit by the New IRA, which was a bunch of drug addicts playing with big names, that used fire crackers combined by one fuse to be ignited by a lighter.
Claymores are the most sophisticated mass produced IEDs and use a movement sensor to guard a military retreat against overly ambitions enemies.
Cartels have military gear. Black Market? Corrupt Managers are even worse... then pony farm cops on drugs with an even uglier secret.
That's real world Shadowrunners.
