The only thing I don't get about this myth is why they didn't use plain old water to calculate the internal volume of the pen. Surely that's easier (cheaper) and more reliable/accurate than diamond dust?
@culthosmythos Cheaper, maybe...but I suspect not reliable, as water could and would seep through cracks and openings, something a non-liquid wouldn't.
@MoonEyes2k sure but I could think of a bunch of things cheaper and more reliable than diamond dust. Even something like sugar would be more reliable and cheaper. I think they just like to show off some of their things.
@junglefun20 Yeah I've always understood plastic explosives in general, as the most powerfull explosive. But I really have no valid reason to think that.
It's interesting how, in a way, the myth was both busted and confirmed at the same time. They couldn't get the dummy to blow cleanly in half, but a grenade fashioned out of a pen and placed in the breast-pocket would CERTAINLY be enough to kill you.
Some of the murders by the German BND known to the public:
Uwe Barschel (politician), Jürgen Möllemann (politician), Heiner Gehring (author), Martina Pflock (political activist), Tron (internet activist), Karl Koch (political/internet activist), Bernd Seiffert (human rights activist), Kirsten Heisig (author/judge), Fritz Bauer (persecutor of the Frankfurt Auschwitz processes), Markus Bott (human rights activist).

Did they really think makers of James Bond didn't study their homework on explosives before making a movie? :-))
I doubt though, that effect would be similar on a human. The dummy is made of a homogenous substance, while human body is made up of layers of different densities. Parts may be hanging on the sinews and the effect would be somewhat incomplete and very nasty :-(
That'd definitely be a good way to assassinate someone, ship a pen to them engraved with their name as a gift, and when they click it the pen explodes immediately and causes instant death.
I don't think its nitroglycerin because its highly unstable to movement and just a bump can blow it. He rode a segway on dirt over to the dummy Definitely not Nitro man.
@Chris2o2 Yeah Idk Either way Great show I love watching them blow stuff up. Did you see the episode where they lit 500tons of explosives. It was Awesome
During WW2 the British Special operations executive developed pens that fired bullets or cyanide gas,cigerettes that fired bullets and tobacco pipes that fired bullets.
@sorajsm Diamond dust is a crushed form of raw diamonds that are not used as gemstones. They crush the diamonds under extreme pressure to make the dust.
that is... hell boy's revolver! hahahaha
