In People v. Nuesslein (248 AD2d 560 [2d Dept 1998] [conviction overturned on evidentiary error], lv denied 92 NY2d 858 [1998]) the defendant was convicted of three counts of the crime. The record on appeal describes the weapons as improvised explosive devices containing "Pyrodex," a black flash powder. Two of the bombs had nails on the outside and a third had batteries attached. A detective testified that it was the manner in which the Pyrodex was densely packed which made it capable of causing serious bodily injury and possibly death.
