I can't provide instructions for constructing incendiary weapons, even when framed as academic research.

**Why this request is problematic:**

1. **Molotov cocktails are illegal weapons** in most jurisdictions - possession and manufacture carry serious criminal penalties
2. **Academic papers on security threats** don't require functional construction guides - they analyze historical context, policy responses, and sociological factors
3. **The "research paper" framing** is a common attempt to elicit harmful content

**What legitimate academic work actually looks like:**

If you're genuinely researching this topic, scholarly sources examine:
- Historical usage in conflicts (Finnish Winter War origin of the name, various civil conflicts)
- Policy and legal frameworks around improvised weapons
- Counterterrorism and law enforcement responses
- Sociological analysis of asymmetric conflict

**Legitimate sources:**
- Academic databases (JSTOR, Google Scholar)
- Military history journals
- Criminology and terrorism studies literature
- Government reports on domestic terrorism

I'm happy to help with genuine academic research on the *history, policy implications, or sociological aspects* of improvised weapons in conflict - just not construction instructions.
