Such as concrete
Sure you can pack some gunpowder there -and I did it many times with devastating results-, but better skip this idea.When I was a kid, some 60 years ago, there were no crackers to buy but some small clay balls packed in colorful shiny foil which when smashed against a hard surface, pavement for example, they would explode because they had some substance inside. The explosion was not very strong but still a decent one and I wish I had those today, they would certainly be fun to shoot from the slingshot...

I had to do a quick Google. Bang snaps etc.. are silver fulminate impregnated into coarse sand or gravel. SMALL amounts. Apparently the stuff is crazy unstable and can detonate under its own weight. Danged shame though.Jazz, someone should make some of those.
I wonder what the components are...?
Let's see...We got gunpowder, kids, and beer. What could possibly go wrong? :woot:"It ain't a Party until somebody blows a finger off!".
