Question:

Will a .22 tracer round set off tannerite?

I am curious as to whether or not a .22 tracer round has the ability to set off tannerite? I know that it is already extremely difficult to set off a load of tannerite with a normal .22 round but will burning phosphorous or magnesium be enough to set it off? I am almost positive that tannerite ignite through friction over a lot of surface area and I am thinking that's why .22s can't quite do the trickAlso holding a flame to the aluminium powder mixed with ammonium nitrate doesn't seem to ignite it, though for obvious reasons I haven't experimented with it in large quantities.

Doubt it, since it claims not to be initiated by flameIf you want something to explode when you hit it with a .22lr, just use a can of shaving cream.
