Primer dusting can cause an explosion, for those not familiar its when a lot of shaking of open exposed primers shakes loose minute particles of the mercury of fulminate.
Get enough of this powder and some static electricity and it will flash, as a reloader I have seen accumulated material collect on my case primer installation tools.
Quite frankly with enough primer dust, a modified vacuum type thermos bottle and even hairspray a crude IED can be built. I can see using a an emergency glass breaker tool or a spring loaded center punch as a detonator.

I won a steak dinner when I bet the
Washington sniper name be Mohammad. Maybe I should bet on the Hairspray-Primer Bomber.
I tried one time to Load .45 Lead ball over Primers in a .45 caliber Revolver for an indoor round. Did not work as it would barely make it out the end of the barrel.
