This was a fun read:
http://www.freebookspot.in/Books-How%20to%20Build%20Flash%20%20%20Stun%20Grenades.htm
(originally posted by Archetype on Zoklet)

Details how to build stun grenades. There is a chapter on the expedient home-made stun grenade (complete with pull-cord ignition system), which could be a great project for a pyro enthusiast.

(good reference)

a diy german dark aluminum can be made with a ball machine (forget what they call them) with shreads of aluminum foil and charcoal (made from soft wood like willow) it takes a while, a good linkl is http://www.instructables.com/id/Making-German-Dark-Aluminum-Powder-from-Foil/ there a good tutorials on that site.

and i dont know if any of the books mention this (i havent finished them all yet) but if you mix 1/4 cup rubbing alchohal with 2/3 - 3/4 water, it'll take away most of the surface tension to help things mix better , like if your misting the powder to make round stars

if you want all the books at once https://rapidshare.com/files/2182050018/f.works.zip its 40.35mb
if you want more i can find more
