I’ve heard that if you use the rag as a stopper it could explode in your hands, so allegedly you should tie it onto the outside of the neck of the bottle and use a non-flammable stopper. In Minecraft or something

Idk about blowing up but I’ve definitely seen multiple videos where someone throws it and the rag comes out and shoots a flaming stream of liquid backwards at the thrower.

so, just that i understand this correctly, you’re basically using a glass bottle that shatters on impact, filling it with alcohol/gasoline, closing the tab, binding a burning piece of tissue around it, and then throwing it?

  filling it with alcohol/gasoline
  
  You’ll want to experiment, but a 50/50 mixture of gasoline and diesel fuel will give improved results. You can also dissolve Styrofoam packing peanuts and/or soap flakes in the gasoline to give it a stickier consistency.

I read once that you can use a tampon instead of a rag, but I think that would likely blow out when you throw it. But, you could stuff a corner of the rag into the bottle, and then force a tampon in behind it to secure the rag/wick.

The US Army publishes a field manual on improvised munitions. I’ve been meaning to read it.

This is true. Look at the Egyptian American guy who attacked that pro-israel march. He used open glass containers. The second one he threw spilled burning fuel all over him.
