I reload pistol and rifle cartridges. A typical small pistol cartridge recipe uses less than 3 grains of smokeless powder. That is .194 of a gram or less than 7 thousandths of an ounce. This minute amount of powder is enough to propel a 100 grain 30 caliber to over 900 feet per second a velocity more than adequate to kill a person or animal. If there is a misfire in the pistol the reulting explosion can be powerful enough to cause serious injuries.
People without adequate knowledge of the power of explosives put themselves at great risk when they construct devices using materials that can be detonated. During my career my crews and I responded to a number of people who injured themselves while messing around with explosive materials.
