If you guys haven't seen this video, grab some tissues* and watch it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SlOXowwC4c - it is a SAAMI video on the behavior of small arms ammunition and components in household fires.
(* quite a bit of nice ammunition was destroyed in the making of the video... )
Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws "first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.
I lit off about a 1/4 cup of BP once... it was contaminated with dirt, having been swept off my bench and up off the floor when I was first learning how to load BP in cartridges... Went "WHOOSH" and filled the "attic" space of my garage with nice white smoke! Unlike the smokeless I'd formed up in a nice small line to use a fuse, it didn't "burn" so much, as just exploded, but uncontained, (well except on the bottom of the pile)...

I have set off 10 pounds of FFg at one time.
The blast was impressive.
I would think 100 pounds going off at one time would damage other homes in the area.
