Buy it from the antimatter engineering specialists at Forward Power,
Alarishi Empire.  The AE doesn't have all the finickety nitpicking
regulations on antimatter experimentation that the UN does (and the NAC,
and FSE, and, well, just about everywhere else, now that I think of it),
so AM engineering has been studied for over a century.	Specialized
applications are available for a select clientele.
But the 38gram version is much cheaper.

(in fact, as I understand it, AM would probably just go "fizz" instead
of "boom" unless you went to a lot of effort to arrange it otherwise)
